feigned outrage about Dog fighting?

Is it all just feigned outrage about dog fighting?

I don't think people really have a problem with cruelty to animals -- PETA has nausiating videos of animals produced to be eaten -- chickens, pigs, steer -- being raised and slaughtered in disgusting squalor. There's also videos of puppy mills, mink mills and other corporate set-ups where animals are raised and have zero quality of life. However, people really don't seem to care about this on the same level of the dog-fighting bit.

Also, it seems to be a cultural thing cock fighting is legal in places and bull fighting is legal as well, also rodeos in the U.S. .

Horse racing events are also pretty hard on the horses...

Beyond that MMA and Boxing is legal for humans...

Should there be laws against dog fighting, cock-fighting and bull-fighting in the U.S.?

Just wondering what people think -- especially libertarians and small government types.
