I say to each his own so long as it does not infringe upon my freedoms. Pit bull fighting has been primarily a southern man’s avocation and historically has never been attacked for the brutal sport it indeed is until left thinking hysterics began demanding that the hard hand of government should force an end to another man’s avocation having absolutely no effect on the lives of of others. On the list of priorities of those newsworthy matters of greatest public importance, this story is a diversion, a non starter.

Generally, I wouldn't have any 'problem' with dogfighting if it weren't for the cruelty these dogs are subjected to before, during and after the fights. As others have said, dogs will be dogs and they do have fighting (protective) instincts. However the recent years have seen these so-called "dog breeders" breeding in even more nastiness to the temperament, which is troubling to the "legit" dog world in general.

But if you are defending the behavior of these "breeders" even for the type of treatment they subject these dogs to to make them "tough in the ring" (starving, tying them up to car axles, etc.), the "rape stand" (looks like some medieval instrument of torture), not to mention shooting them in the head simply because they don't win, then I have nothing more to say to you on this forum.
