It is indeed time to end animal cruelty. The problem is that people tend to ignore cruelty when it contributes to their convenience oriented, consumer lifestyle.
There are many more cruel animal practices than dog fighting. I'm not talking about hunting, or even chicken fighting; I'm referring to how our food supply is produced. The treatment of domestic food animals is beyond barbaric, much more prevalent and filthy as well. It's a matter of numbers. For every mistreated dog in our country, there are a millions of animals that are tortured from their birth to their violent death.
So shame on you if you rail against dog fighting but eat at McDonalds, KFC, or the like; or buy cheap pharmaceutically infested products like Tyson Chicken. Changing the disgusting way we eat will be a million times more relevant towards fighting animal cruelty than preventing dog fighting.
I'm not vegan by any means; but there are many products that are produced more humanely than what goes into our daily "convenient and cheap" food supply.
End of rant, and my dogs are spoiled.
