As I said before, raising fighting dogs and killing underperformers is not necessarily the same thing as sociopaths killing dogs as a practice run for killing people.

Hunters use dogs, and kill prey besides, so will you say that hunters will become rapists and killers? How about bullfighters, will they commit murder too? Dogfighting is a sport. You may not like the sport, it may be a cruel sport, but it's still done as a sport, not for joy of torturing innocent animals.

All I'm asking for is a sense of proportion.

Because violence breeds violence, dogfighting endangers communities wherever it occurs. Aside from hurting animals, it nurtures a violent mind-set that makes it easier for people to brutalize other people. The results of a recent Chicago Police Department study bear this out: Of those arrested for animal crimes, including dogfighting, 65 percent had past arrests for battery.
