breathe, then read and challenge the assumptions on dog fighting.
There are lots of examples of sports that many consider cruelty to animals: horse racing, rodeos, etc. that the U.S. has deemed acceptable. And sports such as bull fighting, which Hispanics in S. America and Europe find perfectly acceptable.
I'm not explicitly comparing horse racing to dog fighting; however, rodeos and bull fighting obviously get closer and closer.
I am asking if people really do have problems with cruelty to animals considering animals are raised in horrible conditions, slaughtered and then eaten, in addition to plenty of sports where animals are stressed out and abused -- dog racing is another.
so, why does the government get to determine one part of the spectrum is not acceptable? Why not the market place?
If you follow the cruelty to animals logic in order for people to be geniunely concerned about animal cruelty they should stop eating meat, and feeding meat products to their pets -- and possibly avoid having pets at all.
