Hunting and dogfighting is the same, at the end of the day a animal is killed. I don't care if one is legal or not killing is killing.

1) I don't think you could really back the statement about murderers/rapists up with proof. If a person tortures/rapes or acts violently toward another person, even in our society, it's not accepted. Unprovoked and selfish violent behavior against weak/defenseless beings (kids/animals) is rarely just overlooked.
2) It makes a huge difference if one is legal and one is not. That is, after all, the whole point of the legal system, which is a foundational part of any successful society. The difference again is in the part of intent, and ongoing cruelty.
