Is it permissible to pit animals against each other in a horn-fight or the like?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on raising animals or livestock and preparing them for a horn-fight? Is there any religious prohibition in that?

Answer:
It is not permissible to pit animals or birds against each other in a horn-fight or otherwise, because this is a form of torturing animals. This is torturing animals; it is not permissible. It is forbidden.
