Whats the difference between hunting and dog fighting?

Question

except that dogs might bite you back

dog fighting and hunting are morally the same. they are both cruel. people in both cases enjoy killing for a thrill. watching dogs fight is cruel, but lets not forget dogs DO fight. they are not civilized (or not) creatures like us humans who treat each other with respect (or not). it is dog's nature to fight and kill. dogs don't run farms that grow chicken or pork so they can eat em. dogs are not like baggards either who rely on humans for food and shelter. they are animals. they will kill. they eat meat. heck, even cats kill for food.

therefore, whether or not animals kill has nothing to do with the humanity of these two sports. the fact remains that humans kill directly or indirectly in both sports. in dog fighting, humans kill dogs either by making them kill each other or kill them afterwards. in hunting, humans kill animals or make your dog chew it to death after getting a shot in. these are both morally inhumane sports and there is no moral superiority between them.

well, get your facts straight man. when you kill a deer, it doesnt die instantly. it struggles until you finish it off. sometimes they run for miles until they finally bleed to death.

Answer 1

Hunting animals and dog fighting are both sports. While there is little sportsmanship involved in both cases, they both have a set of rules to go by. Dogs are not the cute little best friends most people think they are. Dogs are dangerous animals who will hurt you if needed. Ever tried to steal a dogs food tray while its eating? You'll get bit to death. Dogs are aggressive, cruel animals at heart. Dog fighting as a sport is an exploit of that cruelness.

Hunting can be viewed differently. If you live in the cities or suburbs, chances are you have no idea what goes on in a animal slaughterhouse. Humans are probably the biggest animal killers on earth. Think about that when you chew on your next hearty steak. The point is, people who support hunting also hang animal heads in their bedrooms. They enjoy killing animals. They don't kill animals because of food or imminent danger. Hunting is a cruel sport and there is no moral superiority in it.

There is really no difference, except dogs might bite you back, really.

Answer 2

Hunting is legal and done mostly by people that respect nature and the laws of the land. Dog fighting doesnt put food on the table nor does it provide anything other than "entertainment" for people who think that the laws are not for them to honor. Hunters provide hundreds of millions in taxes, fees and boost hunting area economies all of which benefit a whole lot of people who complain about hunting....ever been camping, enjoyed a parks program, appeciated a DNR officer or park ranger? If so then remember to thank a hunter because without all those dollars guess who would have to pay for all these luxuries (that would be you...Joe taxpayer because the programs will exist with either hunting monies or general fund money)! I cant remember Virginia ever using tax money raised from a dog fight to purchase state or federal land to conserve nature but other than little minor details like these and many others I suppose one could argue they are the same. Oh yea, and when a deer roams into the neighborhood I am pretty sure the children are safe, if one of Vicks dogs broke loose from its pen think you would let your children out of the house to see them? And if a hunter breaks the law like Vick did...guess what....he goes to jail, loses his gun, hunting privilage (notice hunting is a privilage, not a lawbreakers right) and vehicle forever and pays massive fines.

Answer 3

As far as your facts about hunting: No, the idea is for a well placed shot and the deer quickly going down. As far as most "natural deaths" go (starving to death due to illness, injury, weakness, or drought; being ripped apart by a predator; or, while not necessarily "natural", it is common, vehicle impact) proper and ethical hunting is the quickest and most humane way.

I personally have never had a deer or moose "run for miles." They have dropped where they stood or taken a few steps at the most. Like one answer alluded to, I also do not enjoy the actual death. I feel a sadness each time, but nature is not a cartoon utopia. The plant dies to feed the bug, the bug dies to feed bird, the bird dies to feed the bobcat, the bobcat dies, decays, and feeds the plants.

How you can compare getting your kicks from watching animals rip each other to shreds and if they don't ,dispatching them in horrible ways, forcing prolonged suffering upon them to hunting is just ignorant.

Answer 4

canine combating is sadomasochistic. The greater the animal suffers the greater valuable the coach. Animals are bred in captivity and affection is withheld. they're social animals and that is comparable to psychological abuse. If the canine do no longer carry out nicely, they're regularly killed in painful, brutish techniques. i do no longer shelter deer searching, yet searching is a organic interest interior the wild. Deers are born wild and stay organic lives. with out deer searching, their populations could (and honestly have) exploded to the element that they go through starvation and are a lot greater probable to be plagued by using ailment. on the grounds that people have completed away with very nearly each and every organic predator that could generally hunt deer, hunters are honestly mandatory. a ethical and experienced deer hunter shoots to kill with as little pointless discomfort as attainable. Plus they are able to consume their kill or donate them to a software to feed the needy.

Answer 5

There Both Cruel. Unless your hunting for food or something you desperately need from the animal then your just doing it for entertainment like the Dog fighting. Both are unnecessary & Either way a Animal gets hurt for your pleasure. Its sick.

Answer 6

The law.
I don't know where you are from, but I grew up in a small rural town and can see why hunting is legal. Without population control, some animal populations will grow to the point where food for them will become scarce and disease will set in. That could cause bigger problems.
Dog fighting is illegal because dogs are trained by man to do this. Sure some dogs will kill another on instinct, but for the most part, this is a learned trait. The destruction of animals that won't fight is not done for population control or other issues. It is done so the moron who trains these dogs does not have to pay to feed, or shelter them.

Answer 7

there are some differences, but there area some similarities too. one of the main things being you don't try to torture deer,and you should eat the deer after killing it.

Answer 8

Hunting for sport is cruel.

Answer 9

In civilized America we eat certain animals and we treat others like family. That is the way it is. Like it or not that is the law.

Either way you don't drown or electrocute a deer and beat his in against the ground. You shoot it dies. It is the way it is.

Answer 10

Let's see,deer aren't forced to fight to the death,ducks aren't mounted on rape stands to be bred against their will,geese aren't tortured to death,elk aren't drowned.

I mean,I could go on and on,but why bother?

You're an idiot that thinks Vick did nothing wrong,so what's the use?
