Too many people are just pieces of human trash ... no regard for life, the animal, nothing.
I don't see why a fight has to mean a death sentence for one of the dogs either. There doesn't have to be anything cold-blooded about a fight.
It is supposed to be honoring both dogs, respecting winner and loser alike. Most curs give it a helluva go before they quit.
The mentality of too many people today simply sucks.
I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but from what I have heard the Japanese conduct their dog deals with the kind of setup and outlook that they deserve.
I'd say less than 15% of American dogmen do these days.
