(Kamandi #11) - Slave trader Sacker sent his Leopard-Men pirates on an expedition, and they captured a number of feral humans, Wolf-Men, Lion-Men, Tiger-Men and Gorilla-Men to be sold at Sacker's Department Store.

(Kamandi #13, 14) - Tiger-Men, Lion-Men, Gorilla-Men, Wolf-Men, Bear-Men and Rat-Men all attended Sacker's Sweeps, a race pitting humans against each other where failure to win meant death. Kamandi was forced by Sacker to race Kliklak, a giant insect, who was wounded during the race. Kamandi tried to tend to his wounds, crying out for a doctor. The crowd taunted him, demanding action, and Kamandi cursed them for their cruelty. Kamandi's rival Bull Bantam, mounted on a gigantic buffalo, lassoed Kamandi. Prince Tuftan was in attendance, and shot the lasso, freeing Kamandi to the boos of the crowd. Kamandi beat Bull to a pulp, winning the race, and was presented with prizes by a group of women, and he realized he was being treated like a thoroughbred. Spirit embraced Kamandi saying she was his, but Kamandi was furious, telling her humans were neither animals nor prizes, and the Leopard-Men silenced him with a rifle butt to the head, and he was dragged away.

(Kamandi #36) - Pyra landed back on Earth and explored ruins covered in vegetation in Acapulco. They discovered a mostly intact pre-Disaster hotel, and Pyra said she sensed the presence of a great many beings. Kamandi said it could wait, he was looking forward to unwinding for a bit and went swimming in the pool’s hotel. He was grabbed by Crocodile Men, who dragged him underwater and beneath the pool to some cavernous corridors. Satrap, the leader of the Crocodiles was furious that a human was fouling their water, believeing humans to all be disease carriers. Kamandi started a fight with the Crocodiles, but it was broken up by the Director, a Jaguar Man who ran the hotel. He brought Kamandi back safely to Pyra and Canus, saying the customer was always right. The hotel, which he called Resort was a shelter, and he served the guests, but the guests only kept their rooms as long as they could fend off attacks by other groups trying to displace them. They witnessed a group of Wolf Men evict the humans that were staying on the second floor, brutally attacking them. The Director said he served all guests and it was his duty to stay neutral and stay out of fights. Kamandi asked him about the rights of the weak, and the Director replied that he wasn’t a philosopher. Kamandi attack the director, and after tussling for a bit Kamandi demanded possession of the second floor for himself. Canus said he wasn’t getting involved because humans, as a rule, weren’t worth helping since they were responsible for the Great Disaster. The director led him to a room full of weapons and warned him that killing anyone on property grounds was strictly forbidden. Kamandi mixed some chemicals and put them in a tank with an attached hose, and the Director alerted the Wolf Men that someone was seeking to evict them. Kamandi was outnumbered, and the wolf Men fought dirty, with one of their number trying to kill him with a knife, but Kamandi’s sticky spray left them covered in a foul-smelling mess. They jumped in the pool to clean themselves, and were immediately beset by the Crocodiles, who dragged them underwater. The Director said the floor belonged to Kamandi, who chose to hand back possession of it to the evicted humans.
