Default (from other forum) If dogfighting was never banned, could you be like the original...
If dogfighting was never banned, could you be like the original, old school, dogmen.


For me i'd have to say i wouldn't be able to let one of my dogs fight. I only have now and i'm too attached to him to let him fight and run the risk...however...i could see the point in game testing..for the breed's sake. I know i'd pick my dog up quick, if things went downhill for too long, but i think my boy would do well if he was thrown in there. Why do i think that? from the accidental dog and bull fights i've had to break him up in.

I obviously don't participate in dog fighting, but i respect and appreciate what brought our dogs into existance. Also, i'd like to say the way a lot of gamedogs are treated outside of the "pit" is far more cruel than the fight. I have an old dogmen for a neighbor and his talks of back in the day..of feeding them well, treating them well, taken 8 months off in between fights...sounds like a lot of pitbulls' dream. lol. Unlike what you hear today.

Well, back to the question at hand.

If dogfighting was never banned, could you be like the original dogmen?

Nope, I'm a softie and dogfighting, IMO, serves no purpose.

I could participate in hog hunting or the hunting of bigger game or something else of the like, but those serve purposes.

Hard to say I would hope I would see that it wasn't for me or my dogs, but it was a different time and the humane laws of today didn't exist and if they were never enacted, who is to say that I would be against it as I am now with out the knowledge I have now. Again I would hope I would see it as wrong, but its a tough question. To say I would come to that conclusion on my own while the rest of the world was fine with it would be a stretch. I hope I would see that its wrong. Good question, made me think.

Well, I can't say that I would or wouldn't, but I can say without a doubt in my mind, that my boy Tank would love nothing more than to be a match dog. He would totally be in his element and LOVE every minute of it! If I actually let him roll, well, he would be one fulfilled dog! lol

Dog Fighting is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and the federal Animal Welfare Act prohibits the interstate transportation of dogs for fighting purposes.

Forty-seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have made dogfighting a felony offense. Forty-five states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands prohibit the possession of dogs for fighting. And 48 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands prohibit being a spectator at a dogfight.

I probably wouldn't participate, but would still own the breed.
