I think he has a point. Are we allowed to kill animals or not?

What part of dog-fighting being a felony do you not understand?

Dog fighting is considered cruelty to animals and rightfully so.

Hmmm,

Well, guess there are gonna be a whole bunch of rural kids locked up as felony perp’s for fighting ole Fido. As a dog lover and owner for all of my life, I do not condone being cruel to animals. “However”, dogs as with other domestic animals, are private property. As such, the owner has a right to kill these animals. Now, electrocution, drowning, banging a dog’s head against a concrete wall does seem somewhat excessive. But, is this actually against the law? Those of us who were raised on farms and ranches are well aware of what happens to dogs that run cattle,especially those that are pregnant, chase milk cows, kill chickens, eat eggs, etc, etc. The answer for you city dwellers is shot dead in the head. Actually, when we cut to the chase on Vick's crime(s), the only thing he is guilty of is the gambling component.

Really. Cruelty to humans? That’s a misdemeanor.

In your opinion. You don’t own Vick’s dogs. I trust you understand that the domestic dog, if allowed to, would hunt you in packs and eat you for food, and would fight each other at will for the choicest piece of you.

Interesting question. If dog-fighting were a felony the way being an illegal alien is illegal then I could see the misunderstanding.

I’m not talking about legality. As for cruelty...death is the ultimate cruelty. If you think swift death is less cruel or more ethical, more power to you. I however disagree. Nature is cruel.

Personally, I don’t fight dogs or attend dog fights. At the same time, I don’t pretend that this makes me a better man either.
