To petlover continued:
Instead of repeating the haters credo railing against animal rights, think about what you just promoted. Animals(that includes humans), do not deserve to be tortured. How else would you describe having half your face torn away, your stomach ripped open, then being tossed into a shallow grave to die with the other "losers"? It is not "emotional rhetoric" as you state. It's just a fact. And yes, these people chose to commit this despicable act, a felony, and deserve, richly, to have their freedoms taken away for that. Pets matter…they are sentient beings, not inanimate objects to be kicked around and abused.

And to your parting comment, HSUS is also working, with, I believe, the ASPCA, an animal welfare group, to stop the suffering of animals at slaughter houses. Vegetarianism has become more popular over the years because of the way animals raised for our plates are treated. There's no hypocracy here.

I don't know how you could come to the conclusion that it is alright to fight dogs. It is a disgusting, reprehensible thing to do to an animal who looks to humans to provide them with a safe and loving home–to an animal who would protect you to the death. Who else would do that? Maybe a family member…maybe. Pets are part of the family, and part of the least among us (in that they are cannot help themselves). How we treat them reflects our own humanity–or lack thereof.

You are in the wrong place if you think the people who do this should be allowed to do it to put food on the table, or, God forbid, just for a Saturday night's gambling gathering. Cruelty is inexcusable in any form, period.

you people really want to ruin people's entire lives over a dog fighting another dog? child molesters aren't looked on as badly by these AR zealots. soon all hunting and raising of animals for any purpose will be illegal. this is just the first step, an easy one with all the emotionally charged rhetoric no less.

there's a lot in life that involves blood, sweat and/or tears, for humans and animals, not the least of which is your dinner table.

hypocrites.

5 years for each dog- should be the penalty not 5 years total!
