As exhihicións de mangostas son un espectáculo común nas beiras das estradas de [[Paquistán]]. Os encantadores de cobras teñen mangostas para simular loitas entre elas e as serpes. En [[Okinawa]], Xapón (onde as mangostas foron traídas desacertadamente para controlas as serpes locais), as loitas das mangostas contra estas serpes velenosas (''[[Ovophis okinavensis]]'' e ''[[Trimeresurus flavoviridis]]'') nun perímetro pechado son espectáculos exhibidos aos espectadores en parque como Okinawa World; porén, debido á presió de grupos activistas defensores dos dereitos dos animais, este espectáculo é menos común hoxe.<ref>Charles, Bill.
