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?

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.

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.

Dog fighting was pretty ubiquitous in European culture..and everywhere actually...like cock fighting (which I admit a fondnessfor)...and bull and bear baiting etc

Not sure if Injuns did or not...maybe they were too busy skinning each other or roasting over coals alive one another

to worry about being cruel to mere dogs...especially since they considered them a food source when need be

sadistic folks likely prefer human torture

it stands to reason

i think I recall though Jack London inferring that Indians participated in dog fighting

I don’t like dog fighting though back before leash laws I saw some doozies and we as kids would cheer them on

like men, it was male dogs fighting over your gender
