There is a much bigger picture then the actual fighting of dogs here. Dog fighting breeds crime. You have everything from small time drug charges to murder that all result from dog fighting. Typically the audience and participants are from the lower level of society. Here is an example of what goes on at dog fights. Joe blow just won $10,000 on a fight. Jow blow now has $10,000 in cash and is on hos way home, but he doesn't see the a few of the spectators follow him home. Once inside he settles in for the night, next thing he knows the door busts open and he is killed for that $10,000. Now I don't mind the piece of shit getting killed but what I have a problem with is this guy could have a family that he just put in danger. This happens a lot. Most of the time it is just a simple robbery but without the dog fighting these crimes would not have happened. I am not defending the partcipants getting robbed but I worry about the innocent people put in harms way because of this. You can do whatever you want in your life but if your actions put others in harms way then that is where the problem is.

Everybody thinks of this as an animal rights issue but there is more to it then just that. This is not NICARAGUA or any other country. This is America we are a civilized country with laws and a certain way of life. If you like to dog fight or eat dog so much go to NICARAGUA then. The ignorance in this thread amazes me.
