Do You Enjoy "Blood Sports"?

I have zero tolerance of any blood sports, or for the people who enjoy them. I only know what I've seen in movies, documentaries and TV shows, not first-hand experience at all.

I don't care if it's a cock-fight, dog-fight, or whatever...I despise anything that is abusive to animals and I think that the people who enjoy participating in these exhibitions should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. What are your thoughts?
 

I feel the same as you Seabreeze. I saw the results of some Pits that I know were used for fighting when I worked in the clinic. For a while the owner brought several in at different times to get patched up. They would be covered in mud and bleeding to various degrees. He claimed they would get loose and get in fights with others that were chained, yeah right. Those dogs were so grateful to be attended to and cleaned up and not one of them ever gave the first hint of being aggressive to people. I really felt sorry for them, but the vet said he knew the guy, had been to his place and believed his stories. WTF? The guy had a lot of money, so I guess at least he got brownie points for taking care of the dogs and not just taking them out back and shooting them.
 
Well, the vet is not going to admit suspicion unless he's willing to take formal action against that guy I imagine...plus was probably making some big bucks to treat the dog's wounds. I've seen some horrible shows about Pitbull fighting on Animal Planet, my heart really goes out to the 'bait' dogs. :( I tell you, I could not even be a distant friend of someone who was doing that. People can be so heartless, it get angry and cry whenever I see something like that.
 

The one blood sport that really upsets me is the bulls watching them being slaughtered slowly by the Matador or whatever they call themselves, it should be stopped, and so should all the other blood sports, but how do you stop the Bastards that run them
 
Well, if by "blood sport" you mean exclusively with animals then yes, I agree fully - they should be banned.

If you're talking humans fighting, then I would be hypocritical by way of my training to say ban it, but I really don't like the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fights that have taken the martial arts world by storm.

You start off with arrogant, steroid-laden, tattooed punks and you often end up with a blood bath. That's not my idea of sport, and it definitely isn't my idea of martial arts. I've even lost a lot of potential money writing for MMA sites and magazines because I disagree so strongly with the philosophy.
 
Years ago someone we knew had some Faces of Death videos, that I watched just out of curiosity...had enough of that, sickened me really. :mad:
 
I'm all for it! Should be more of it. But it needs to be tidied up and restricted to matches between highranking military types and the Politicans who send others out to indulge in blood sports dressed as war.
I'd have paid big ticket money to watch Dubya and Osama go at with maces in a cage.

Animal fights I don't consider 'sport'. If they make their own arrangements and do it because they don't agree on something then fine. But human instigation is beyond the pale. That ain't sport. That's savagery in the audience and a highly suspect mental attitude in the 'owners'.
 
And some of those people have very young children in the home watching these animal fights, just think how these kids minds work by the time they're teens and adults.
 
A journo once commented that society was becoming 'brutalized.' Good word for it. Kids raised with that as part of their 'normal' world would sure qualify. I don't hold with them being raised in Bambiland either, but what's the natural 'blood, fang and claw' of nature and what's pure human 'brutality' are two totally different things.
 
Any animals fighting makes me sick. Humans can be a really demented bunch if you ask me. Dog fights, cock fight, bear baiting, or whatever they call it, they remove the teeth from bears and then chain them up and have dogs attack them. I can't remember what countries this goes on in, and I am not going to google to find out.

If humans willing want to beat crappola out of each other, go for it. I won't watch that either. But at least they have a choice in the matter. What gives humans a right to torture and kill animals for fun. What a sick world. Bastards!

What about the barbaric slaughter by the Japanese of all those beautiful dolphins, they should hang their heads in shame

I was agreeing with everyone up til now, Jillaroo. I catch and eat fish, I also eat both wild and domestic animals. That is not the same as the blood sports we are talking about. Dolphins are beautiful but so are other animals we eat.

I saw those too.

i don't like any blood sport or anything when an animal is abused and can't even watch or read the news when they show a starving animal. Just seeing a dead animal on the side of the road ruins my whole day.
 
Can we get back to the real blood sports besides animals?

Humans have blood sport too like NHL Hockey,kickboxing, "cage fighter" that they call Mixed-Martial-Arts.
 
You bet Davey, if dumb 'ole humans want to beat the crap out of each other..go for it folks.

We certainly have enough people doing it anyway and it's not even connected to any kind of sport.

Absolutely not. I agree with you.
I don't even like the human variety of 'blood sports,' such as boxing, wrestling, etc.
