So you're saying that people should fight dogs without any punishment?

I don't agree with hunting either, btw. I guess maybe because people eat the deer after? It's all disgusting to me.

MuthaFunka said:

yup. I think people have selective compassion. Anybody who's watched slaughter house videos knows that when livestock is killed, its just as barbaric as dogfighting.

Well we all support the diamond trade.... who gives a fuck about those Africans anyways.... gotta have those shiny rocks at any cost.... but lets not hurt the animals. They are more precious.

Nope not vegan...not even vegetarian. Like I said in my above post, it's your culture.

It's just the fighting that bothers me...it would bother me with any animal. Who gets joy out of watching two dogs try to kill each other? It's disturbing to me.

CarrieLee said:

Now, show me where I said "There should be no punichsment for fighting dogs". You can't.

And not all deer is hunted for food, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the hunters for SPORT, that hunt for shit like the horns and antlers and feet and claws and teeth of that particular animal.

Have you ever watched boxing, a martial arts or action film, or any violent real life clips? It's pretty much the same thing.

Personally, dog fighting is not something I'd be into, but it's pretty common, and legal, elsewhere. I don't see the big deal as long as it's something people control so you don't have Cujos running around attacking kids.

I mean when did law enforcement start to truly care about this? Oh right, when they wanted to bust Vick. When did America start to care about this, oh wait, they don't it's just an excuse.

MuthaFunka said:

I think it's gross!

Sorry to pick on you, I guess I was showing an example of what graycap was doing to me.

My apologies!

Dance said:

I've watched many specials where dog fights and cock fights were busted...it's not just Michael Vic.

Vick made a mistake and as a result was used as an "example"...in my opinion...
folks have gotten off easier for doing worse things to people...just a few years ago, one of the biggest dogfighting rings in Georgia was busted right here in the county I live in...over 50 arrests, dozens of dead dogs found, lots of money trading hands...not one person that could post bond spent any extended time in jail...all convicted were given probabtion...law enforcement doesn't give a shit about dogfighting, they give a shit about who is dogfighting...
that being said, I hope Vick comes back...keeps his nose clean, doesn't fuck up anymore and does his thing...

I'm not picking on. I'm just trying 2 understand your perspective.

I don't like hunting, I don't own diamonds but yes I do eat meat. If you find me to be a hypocrite for that, fine...!

paintedlady said:

I agree with you wholeheartedly but I do not support the diamond trade specifically because of the reasons you listed.

Stymie said:

I am like Carrie Lee, I eat meat as well, and I say that that to be facetious, if we are not worried about human life in the search of shiny rocks... how can you expect people to care about some dogs that the pit against each other for profit.

Bloodsport has always fascinated us. I think it is in our nature sadly enough.

Humans are carnivores. In America dogs are pets, not food. In China, dogs are food and cows are sacred. I guess it depends what your culture is

CarrieLee said:

cows are sacred in India, not China (beef chow mien, anyone ?). your conclusion however is as right as it can get.

Concerning dog-fighting ... people should get punished for that. If they
go through their punishment and come back, I'm all for 2nd chances. For
Everyone !

I was hungry....

I didn't say dogs weren't food in China, I said cows weren't sacred.
God knows what I've eaten when I've visited China. At least, I hope he does,
cuz in most cases ... I didn't even know what was on my plate

Food = Culture ... we were eating cats during WWII and the food agencies
in Belgium are about to approve for insects to be sold through retail.
