The national game of Argentina is pato (which stands for “duck” in Spanish). This amusement started in the 1800s, and it consisted in putting a live duck inside a bag, which was tied up and disputed by two teams of horseback riders who were supposed to take the bag from one place to another. This bloody game would always result in the death of the duck. Years later, the animal was replaced by a ball with handles, still fought for today by players.
