I am not a dogfighter, but I am a supporter of liberty and of property rights.

If I own a dog and choose to enter it into a fight against a dog with another consenting owner, that is our business, however distasteful.

I get it. However, is it not animal cruelty? Should there be no laws against the torture of an animal?
Technically there is a victim, although not human.

How do you guys veiw horse racing or dog racing?

They will push a horse past its physical limits. They will inject steroids and all kinds of other crap, to get them to continue to run hard, even if they are injured. Then the horse will fall and break its leg, and is then KILLED because it can no longer walk. The same stuff goes on in dog racing. These animals are USED in order for humans to make money. PERIOD.

I don't like that either. However, the point of a dog fight is to kill or severely injure the other dog, in the US anyway. When racing horses and/or dogs that is not the goal or always the result.
