[Strangler Lewis]

"Because I think so" works for me. I think dog fighting is just too much naked violence and cruelty and indulging it can only foster cruelty against humans. I doubt you'll see anything along the lines of HBO hooker documentaries about what solid citizens the dog fighters otherwise are and how they're only doing it to support their families and, of course, for the glamor.

Not that I'd do away with all such things, but I like my violence and cruelty sublimated, preferably with helmets and shoulderpads. I'm also a longtime boxing fan, at least when the competitors behave honorably. That's why I can't stand MMA. The competitors and the fans all look and act like characters in a prison movie.
