I wasn't surprised to read organised crime was linked with it...

seek and ye shall find the devil that lives in human-kind. That sounds rather biblical and on there are so many good people. But it is all rather depressing.

i feel so so sick, so terrible I can't bear it. What sort of culture accepts this as entertainment, it is murder to me.

i just don't understand what pleasure people can get out of seeing animals inflicting such pain, or sports where they inflict pain on animals. do you think they don't understand that the animals are in pain or is that just what the allure is. all the people who go to see these awful things can't all be bad people surely. i mean some of them are children. i just don't understand. do some people, dependant on their cultures and upbringing, not think that animmals feel pain or distress like we do?

how can you conpare fox hunting to that!!

The fox is killed instantly and has a chance to get away, not the same for those poor horses.

Makes me ashamed to be a human being.

I couldnt read past the first paragraph.

It should be banned.

How is it illegal to set a dog on a cat or a dog on a badger, but ok to set other animals against each other?

It is disgusting, but in all honesty, remember when foxes were dug out? Its not much different, in terms of fear and stress to an animal. My feeling is it cant be awful for one and not the other.

That is truly disgusting. Animal fighting for fun should NOT be allowed. It is utterly barbaric
