Everyone is entitled to their culture, your rights end where mine begin. I was not the one who made mention of the theft of dogs to train fighting dogs. When that becomes a possibility, or even likely then respect for another culture becomes moot. Just because it is someones culture that does not make it right or civilized. Ive managed to live in several countries and not had any problems being accepted. But I also have never failed to safeguard my family. The Aztec cut out living hearts as part of their culture, acceptable in todays world, no.
Am I a hoele yes, am I also entitled to my culture yes. No one has yet explained how dog fighting can be part of Hawaiian culture, if dogs were not introduced until 1778, I'm all ears. If they are part of another culture, then why is that any more deserving of respect then mine. As far as the police being able to stop dog fighting if they wanted to, hasn't happened anywhere else in the country.
