"It's a cultural thing, I think," Jamie said. "Most brothers didn't know that, you know. I used to see dogs fighting in the neighborhood all the time. I didn't know that was Fed time. So, mike probably just didn't read his handbook on what not to do as a black star."

By far the most ignorant thing I have read all day.

Yeah, that's why you're a racist. Jamie Fox's comments made you hate black people. Sure.

Between this guy and Kanye y'all got some crazy mofos across the pond there.

Dog fighting should be legal and regulated. It's really no different from horseracing or dog racing from an ethical standpoint.

Don't forget we pay thousands of dollars per ticket to watch other humans beat the shiat out of each for sport.

Have you ever seen horse fighting, I saw it somewhere and they do it in Vietnam or some place, that shiat is brutal and hard to watch.

Horse fighting would be awesome.

Have you ever seen the living conditions of race horses? Some of them live better than most humans.

That's all fine and dandy until the horse breaks a leg and is sent off to the glue factory.

Not always, if it is a prized stallion they will keep him for studding purposes.

Gwendolyn: I just really don't see the difference.

Maybe we're not gathered in a circle around the cows wagering and cheering as they tear each other to death? That's one of the first of many differences that occurred to me fairly quickly. I like you lots and I get the point you're making, but the "I can't see the difference" argument often makes people appear either disingenuous or unsmart.

i'm all for getting rid of horse/dog racing and especially the horse vs dog races they show on ESPN 2.

Being one of the token whiteys in my office, I had to opt out of the Michael Vick discussion going on at my desk.

It went something like this:

Guy 1: You know what's going to happen to all those dogs they can't find a place for?
Me: They're going to euthanise them humanely
Guy 1: What's the difference between that and eating chicken. Do you have any idea how many bugs you kill every day. You gonna wear a mask every day to keep from killing bugs?
Me: You know that's not the same thing.
Guy 1: Pit bulls are a violent breed anyway.
Me: Well that's the problem. You have backyard breeders that are breeding these traits in instead of certified AKC breeders trying to breed the violent traits out.
Guy 2: My dad threw my german shepherd in the yard with my neighbor's pit bull, and you know what he did?
Guy 1: He defended himself
Guy 2: Yeah, he defended himself.
Me: *facepalm*

I grew up in the same place as one of these guys and 30 minutes away from Smithfield, where Vick's stuff was going on.

Actually, when they are moved to a stud farm there is no farking, with prized animals it is all done artificially, so it is just hand jobs and frolicking

You! New keyboard NOW!

They get Fark accounts?!

I love how people are TOTALLY ok with the violence of the human meat grinder that is football but are up in arms as soon as a puppy dies.


If you hate dog fighting, you should hate football.

Watchman

I said hand jobs and frolicking, not ass raping and ridicule

onecanshort
Not only is it more humane for ANY horse with a leg injury to be put down,

Well, obviously the dog fighting should be regulated to mitigate or eliminate abuse.

Come on, we're not talking about pitting Fluffy against Snowflake here, these are pitbulls. Half of America thinks they should be outlawed and euthanised, and anyone with two braincells will acknowledge that it doesn't take much to get them to unleash their killing instincts.

I saw midgets vs. camels racing on TV once. I laughed, then felt guilty. The midgets didn't get to wear shoes.

NukeTheGayWhales: The midgets didn't get to wear shoes.

not even the little shoes that curlicue at the toe?

Action Replay Nick

You don't own a Pit do you? I do and he is the sweetest thing on earth. Basically, a dog is a dog is a dog. You have to be extremely threatening to make my dog "unleash its killer instinct." My dog is less likely to bite someone than Paris' ugly ass little chihuahua. Only difference is that my dog is strong as an ox and tough as a nail. My dog catches bugs and plays with it like a cat, that is the extent of his killer instinct unprovoked. But if you provoke any animal/dog, the breed becomes moot point. Pit bull attacks are usually made up because of ignorance.

I get it. You own a dog, congratulations. Most of the pitbulls I've come to know over the years have been nice and docile because of good training. However, no matter how good the training, it doesn't take much threatening from another dog to turn a pitbull into the savage beast it naturally is. I think people should be allowed to own them as long as they except the consequences should something go wrong, and I think fighting them should be legal and regulated. It's what they're naturally good at.

Action Replay Nick: and I think fighting them should be legal and regulated. It's what they're naturally good at.

only if it's man vs pitbull fights. that i would watch.

Action Replay Nick: However, no matter how good the training, it doesn't take much threatening from another dog to turn a pitbull into the savage beast it naturally is.

Untrue.

Pit bulls have a far better temperament and are friendlier towards people than most breeds, which makes them poor guard dogs and attack animals.

Excerpt from the United Kennel Club:

"The APBT [American Pit Bull Terrier] is not the best choice for a guard dog since they are extremely friendly, even with strangers. Aggressive behavior toward humans is uncharacteristic of the breed and highly undesirable."

/Quit trolling, butthead.

It's helped me calibrate my new "retard-o-meter". If someone can't tell the difference between a dog and a bug then they shouldn't be trusted with any task more mentally taxing than ditch digging.

miseducated: Pit bulls have a far better temperament and are friendlier towards people than most breeds, which makes them poor guard dogs and attack animals.

Yeah, it says a lot about the dogs that you have to constantly train them to attack, starve and abuse them in order to get them to fight.

Action Replay Nick

Dogs are social creatures. I bring mine to the river constantly and other people bring their dogs as well. My pit doesn't even pay attention to other dogs. When dogs come over to him he just walks away and ignores them, only heard him growl once and that was when this big ass golden retriever kept repeatedly trying to mount him. If you grab any dog off the street and put them in the conditions fighting dogs are raised in you will have the same outcome. Once again the breed is a moot point. Fighting is not what they are naturally good at, pit bulls were bred as plow dogs but extorted as fighting dogs because of their strength and gameness. Your ignorance in the subject of dogs is the reason why people go up in arms about pit bulls. To judge a dog by it's breed is like judging a person by the color of their skin or a book by its cover. I know you are smart man and shouldn't make assumptions like that.

miseducated

I wasn't talking about people, I specifically said other dogs. I'm actually not trolling, I have no sentimental attachment to animals whatsoever, and if dog and horse racing isn't abuse, neither is dog fighting, as far as I can tell.

Of course, all of the sadistic torture and post-mortem mutilation of the dogs in the Vick case is sick and shouldn't be tolerated, but as far as dogfighting itself goes, I think it should be legal.

Action Replay Nick: and if dog and horse racing isn't abuse, neither is dog fighting, as far as I can tell.

i would say dog and horse racing is abuse as well. honestly don't care if the horse is wearing gold-plated diapers, i don't see any point to animal-based sports whatsoever.

Action Replay Nick

I agree with you, legalize it, regulate it and tax it. I have no problems with that. I do have problems with assumptions that are being made of a certain breeds. Since, I do own a pit I accept responsibility for what he may or may not do. The problem is if my dog does bite someone I am looking at felony charges as opposed to if Joh Doe's lab bites someone he looking at a slap on a wrist. It is discrimination. Ditto for rottweilers, bull terriers, dobermans, chows, corsos and any other "vicious" breed out there.

Action Replay Nick: and if dog and horse racing isn't abuse, neither is dog fighting, as far as I can tell.

By that token, if it's not abuse to force your kids to play football or soccer, it's not abuse to force your kids to fight other kids to the point of tearing flesh and biting skin off.

Fortunately, the sane portion of society disagrees with you.

Gwendolyn: To some people they are of equal quality.
