haha hey yeah!! screw you guys.. im goin home!

I'd take issue with that. Except for a tiny handfull of wealthy people, dogs were not bred to be companions.
They were bred to work, earn their keep or they didn't last long. Along with the obvious guard duties, they were bred to hunt, to haul packs, pull carts & sleds, herd livestock, etc.......and entertain people in blood sports.
Being a companion has always been secondary to their duties until the last 100 years or so, we've seen the evolution of the dog as a pet. :)


In that order? :love:

Interesting tradition, but I'd have to say that people being entertained by this set off the same alarm bells as when you find a child that finds enjoyment in pulling the legs off of frogs and the vivisection of squirrels. Along the lines of "future serial killer", etc.

well theres differences
 

ok. well there are some things alike for all of these animals as well as people. Now im not saying that this is not depressing and that i dont have feelings for these dogs. But these dogs are trained to fight. thats what they were breaded/trained growing up to do. Boxers are trained to do this. So other then the fact that its not their choice, its not like they dont know how to do this. theyve done it their entire lives. altho i still think these people should go and get some therapy. this is also how THEY make THEIR living. its not their fault that some people just arnt smart enough for a real job. think about all those people. they could have had a LOT of proloms growing up. they could have a.d.d or a.d.h.d. over their they dont have nor can afford medication for those things. so some low life scum have to resort to un humanly things. hence dog fighting. thats all i have to say.:typing:

Uh ... okay.

..quite moving..

I (also) hate breaded dog.. Breaded chicken is much better.

It does upset me to see dogs fight like this. Wild dogs would not fight to death, it goes against every instinct in them. Generally speaking, most mammalian species will not fight one of their own kind to the death (there are exceptions). It is unnatural. Fairly typical of man though, to breed/train animals into doing something unnatural.

I don't think we should dismiss those men as pathetic shadows of men though. We know nothing of them, we know nothing of what they have experienced, survived, or sacrficed in their lives. If they are pathetic shadows of men for watching and participating in such a sport, then we can dismiss most humans through most of history in the same way.

The men for whom we should reserve that revulsion are those who continue such sports in a country where people are fully aware of animal rights and where the sports have been banned and publicised as cruel for a long time. There are men in my own country (I am assuming it's mainly men) who breed and train dogs for such fighting. Now they are worth contempt.

Are you laying odds on waiting period spam? It is going to be interesting watching them get caught in the screen.

That's pretty much what I was assuming.

Yup, we ain't got no snow.....
