I'm sure you do Bantu. What type of dog do you have again? Share your knowledge senior member...after all I could use a good laugh.
I'm not fan of dog fighting, but before it went illegal it used to have rules, regulations, things like that. There were no "bait" dogs and both dogs had to scratch to be allowed to fight. Not like today where people think beating and depriving a dog makes it vicious. Really, the dog just has to be game. Game as in, "willing to do a thing untill otherwise prevented." Dogs didn't used to die all of the time in dog fights and fights were generally stopped when bad injuries occured. I know it sounds like I'm defending dog fighting, but really I'm just really mad at how bad it has got since it became illegal and widely prosecuted here.
In really bad neighborhoods, guys will have their dogs spar on the corner to solve a dispute. I guess this is one of the closest things we have left to old school dogfighting. I think it is better than shooting each other, but to each their own, I guess.
