Which one of the multi-culture cultures I am supposed to accept and respect, is the one that claims staging dog fights is a normal spectator sport?

None of my own White or Red ancestors did, as far as I can tell. So where does this brutality come from?

May she find her caring forever home soon. She looks like a lovey girl.

Lord, please give me the opportunity to share your love and / or clean my guns in a room with the evil people that did this to this dog. May he find a wonderful home with people that love and cherish him.

[pops88]

Opps- *she and *him.

Some trace it back to the Romans and their fighting dogs against various oponents. Others trace it to bear baiting where dogs were pitted against other animals like bears. When that became illegal the English started them fighting other dogs. Whatever it’s origins it is horrific.

[Thorliveshere]

Amen.

She reminds me of my boxer mix. Great dog. Very loving, always seeking affection.

[ColdOne]

when I read these articles, I just hate people. Who in the F can do this to animals???????

May she find a home that takes care of her the rest of her natural life.

[nickcarraway]

Shakespeare mentioned bear baiting in, Merry Wives of Windsor.

[sarasmom]

Thanks, but I really want to know what current “culture” proclaims “dog fights” as normal.

Pardon my ignorance, but as I stated previously, none of my mixed race/ethnic group of ancestors claim dog fights to be a “sport”.
At least not enough to filter down to my generation.

So, where does this kind of crap come from?

[NordP]

Dear God.

....may the wrath of all things awful come to those who did this to this sweet pup.

....and may all things glorious come to those who rescued her.

May God Bless you in your new life with love, Lola!

[NordP]

Nicely stated....and my I help you clean those guns ;-)

[Secret Agent Man]

Any sport pitting animals fighting to rip each other up comes from the natural wicked heart of mankind.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

None of my own White or Red ancestors did, as far as I can tell.

If your white ancestors came from England, they did. The pit bull terrier and bulldog are descended from dogs bred in England to bait bulls and bears, and fight other dogs in pits for the amusement of spectators.

It's pointless to try to pretend that any particular ethnicity has cornered the market in cruelty. We're all human, and making animals fight each other to the death is something only human beings do. It's also something we can stop.

Blacks. Just ask Micheal Vick.

[Sherman Logan]

None of my own White or Red ancestors did, as far as I can tell.

Dog fighting was popular in all European countries, AFAIK, till the 19th century, and later in many.
