I agree that the methods that they used to kill the unsuccessful dogs may be stronger evidence that something being fundamentally wrong with the people involved. I had already learned that when I posted last night.
But I think the fights themselves are also completely sick because they fight to the point of pretty grievous injury or death, I think, most of the time.
I have no problem with controlled fighting for sport for people, like boxing or real Olympic wrestling. But when the point is to maim or kill for entertainment and gambling, it would be sick for people to do it, and maybe even sicker to compel animals to do it who have no choose not to.
I also want to add that I don't have a problem with people mercifully euthanizing animals for almost any reason at all.
But the guys involved in this are just emotionally broken. And I'm not sure why it makes sense for us to just wait until they start harming people before we recognize that they are probably very dangerous.
I also wonder the same thing when kids do truly horrible stuff repeatedly. I don't know what we should do about it, but it seems silly that we act like we can change fundamentally psychopathic or sociopathic people back to normal.
