Hunting is NOT THE SAME as Dog Fighting!!!!!

[yeahravens]

Don't be a small minded person and think for a second that you can compare hunting with the dog fighting arena.

Before you speak, take into consideration that these animals are tortured and tormented DAILY from BIRTH to ensure they will become vicious! The people who do this purposely commit cruelties for the sole purpose of gambling and blood thirsty entertainment, and at the end, they don't even provide proper medical care to the injured animals.

Hunting is an act that takes place in all areas of life. It is called the food chain. Sharks hunt seals. Lions hunt Antelope. Cats hunt mice. Did you eat your Big Mac today? Where do you think that meat came from? Don't get me wrong, hunting and killing for sport without the intention of eating the meat is wrong. But don't compare it to a daily activity of torture. Hunters who hunt for trophies also don't leave the animal to die a slow painful death.

Dogs are wonderful animals who offer unconditional love and loyalty. The idea of taking that animals chance for happiness and trade it for a life of torment is unconscionable.

And if you make this a black and white thing you really have a small mind.

Um, okay. Was there another thread to prompt this...take?

Agreed. Hunting is a sport that helps control the animal population. Dogs are our friends who help us hunt.

Uhm, ok, I thought this was a message board read by people who read sports articles and listen to sports talk radio. There was an article last week that has gotten a lot of pub comparing Peyton Manning's hunting to Vick's allegations, and used the work hypocrite.

Several people on local sports talk radio have brought that up as well. I guess the last line of the post applies best based on your response.
