Are we not more important than the animals?

Alot of people would rebute that animals being raised and trained to fight is inhumane What about the peolpe that were brought up on fighting? Is that humane? The point that I am trying to put across is that you cannot say that it is ok for a person to compete in a fight while it is not ok for any other animal. If they want to criminalize dog fighting, then human fighting should be just as illegal.

I do not like boxing or any other martial art, nor am I an animal lover. I just believe that what is fair, is fair across the board.

You logic is ridiculous and extremely off base. Daseal brought up a great rebuttal, as have others. To add...
The main difference is people CHOOSE to box or fight in UFC. The animals that are made to dogfight have no choice in the matter. What makes the whole issue of dogfighting worse is that as humans we are using an otherwise innocent and defenseless animal to suffer, be maimed and/or die simply for our amusement. To me it is sickening that people participate in this and support it. You are dead wrong on this issue!

I just watched the interview and Portis was not joking, he was dead serious. Samuels simply said he felt the media should not be pushing this so hard until Vick is actually convicted. While Portis was talking the look on Samuels' face speaks volumes (it was definitely a "Oh $@%* I can't believe he is saying this). Dogfighting is a felony in 48 states and a crime in all 50 for a reason.
