Curiously when did it get criminalised in America? I should look it up. A few decades in any majority? 2007 according to the Wiki. 15 years.
How many states is it criminalised? All? State Wide.
I am not going to justify the stance of this topic. It's grey. Do I agree with it. Debatable. Some dogs breeds haven't got any other purpose.
It isn't criminalised in much of South/Central America, has Mexico for example criminalised it? Cock/Bull/Scorpion and presumably dog isn't
Give them an inch they take a mile. Until it's ban meat. Ban furs. Ban hunting. Censor free speech. Etc. Etc. Sick of it today. With animals is it cruelty? They'd fight to death in the wild. Should it be public. Not to the extents of a hound race, the same. No difference. One isn't a blood sport. Dog bred to run is the same nature as a dog bred to fight. So sick of that attitude of policing people to the extent their freedoms are curtailed. Did it harm anybody else. No, dangerous dogs that have no other function, sure some can be pets, until it bites another pet, didn't endanger the public, they fought. There was no harm except a hypocritical attitude. It simply wants to police your freedoms with its own toxicity, and its bullshit. It hasn't solved anything else.
I was just replying in context to the statement about “not training animals to kill each other” kinda thing. I think dogfighting is dumb, morally wrong— but sheepdogs kicking a coyote’s ass i have no problem with. Same for using them to hunt game, as long as you or your dog eats it or uses it constructively.

Well, before bullets were cheap, most hunting was done by dogs, who deal the lethal blows to the prey.
Fox hunting is still like that.
