What a lousy excuse. Deer don't have a choice either but we have an open season on them.
You gave the example of watching men fight.
Forcing animals to fight is inhumane because they have no choice in the matter and inflicting pain is the result.
The difference in hunting and having animals fight is that we kill for a reason, and we kill quickly.
A true sportsman doesn't get pleasure out of the suffering.
What is amazing about you guys that cannot grasp the evil of having animals fight for sport is that you lack the same discernment that the animal rights people do.
They want to stop hunting, equating it to fighting for sport, and you are indifferent to fighting animals for sport, equating it to hunting.
I equate the outrage over animal fighting to hypocrisy on the part of those who don't see a problem with men trying to beat the brains out of another man but cry bitter tears over animals that do the same thing.
