Q:What has been the lasting impact of the Roman animal gladiator games on the modern world??
A:the lasting impact of the Roman animal gladiator games is fairly great. now we believe that forcing animals to fight is considered animal cruelty. if games of that magnitude occurred today many people would be arrested. just think, some entire animal species were demolished for human entertainment. this nowadays is disgusting and unacceptable. today we understand our impact on the earth and all the things that live on it... we are now more aware of nature and our human impact. and killing off an entire species of animals for human entertainment is just unacceptable and the environmental impact would rock the world
