I agree that dog fighting is cruel and inhumane. I also feel strongly that tens of millions of americans support inhumane treatment of animals without even being aware of it. I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but don't eat a lot of meat because of this. Sadly, america's food production has evolved from growing healthy animals for consumption, to profit driven torture of food animals. The Mcnuggets and extra crispy's that are consumed by the ton are raised in horrifying conditions; Wallowing in their own feces and pumped full of antibiotics and hormones. See the movie "Fast Food Nation" for an eye opening look at the industry. It' very graphic and not for the squeemish, with some scenes shot on the "killing room" floor. I'm not against eating meat, but a Pua'a hunted and cooked locally is a much better option than Fast Food.
