Animal Cruelty Was Beer Pong For 1600s Germany
For about a hundred or so years between the 17th and 18th centuries, a favorite German party pastime was… throwing animals high into the air and then watching them fall, get crippled, and be clubbed and to death or ripped apart by dogs. The animals included rabbits, badgers, boars, wolves, wildcats, and, of course, foxes, as the game was called “Fox Tossing.” And the German nobility LOVED it.
