Recently a large dog-fighting ring was broken up in east Texas. One hundred and eighty seven pit bulls were rescued but will probably have to be euthanized. fifty five people (and I use the term loosely) were indicted. I think it is time we put an end to animal fighting whether it is dogs or chickens. The only way that will happen is if the federal government gets involved and passes strict animal fighting laws. Many states have good animal fighting laws while others have very mild laws or the laws are poorly enforced. The animals do not have the choice as to which state they are forced to fight.
We, as a civilized society, have to realize that animals have the right to not be mistreated in barbaric ways. It is not part of our God-given human nature to torture other humans or animals. I do not know if animasls have souls or not but neither does anyone else. We all have our own opinions on that matter. We should act in a way as not to violate the God-given "rights" of any creature rather than assume we are a dominant species simply because we can rationalize. People who enjoy watching animals fight each other and tear each other apart are not rational. They are pyschopathic cowards who should be incarcerated for the good of society. People (again, I use the term loosely) who participate in this sort of barbarism like to make the case that it is tradition. If it is tradition, it is a satanic tradition and no civilized society should have to abide by these kinds of traditions. It certainly isn't Christian tradition or the tradition of any other major religion. Can anyone visualize Jesus at a dogfight or cockfight. I don't think so.
Animals, including dogs and roosters, were not created to entertain us by mangling each other in public arenas and we, as a civilized country, have to lead the way in promoting the eradication of such "sports". We need to convince our congressmen and women that we need stiff federal laws against this sort of barbarism.
If congress would pass an animal fighting law that required a minimum of ten years prison for anyone convicted of participating in an animal fighting venture and five years for being a spectator, this sort of thing would be dead very soon.
Look, the folks who participate in dogfighting and cockfighting haven't got the common sense or intelligence quotient that God gave a gopher, but that doesn't mean we have to let them pollute the moral fibre of our country with their barbaric acts against innocent animals, particularly dogs and roosters.
Love, kindness, respect and honor are not just Christian values, they are human values and now is a perfect time to start showing the world we are a people who consider all life sacred, all of the time, not just once a year.
