Dog fighting and cock fighting is done for the sadistic enjoyment of those involved, as well as betting purposes, deliberately putting animals in a situation where they will suffer pain and probable death for no other reason than the enjoyment of those watching, or making money off the event. And then when an animal loses a fight and is badly hurt, instead of giving it medical attention , they are drowned or killed because they are of no further use to the owner ? that is telling to the character of that person.
Huge difference in that and trapping a nuisance animal, which are humanely dispatched as soon as encountered. No hunter that I know of intentionally wounds an animal to watch it suffer, no fisherman takes pleasure out of knowing he's causing pain to a baitfish,
There are numerous accounts of hunters, or fisherman rescuing animals that were trying to swim across a lake, or stranded on a frozen lake, and put themselves at risk trying to help the animal, deer caught in barbed wire fences rescued and released by deer hunters, bucks locked together that were separated by hunters and let go,
If hunters and fisherman were in the same category as Vick, in all those instances they would have either watched the animals suffer their predicament, or would have killed them when they were at a disadvantage,
Its actually pretty sad that the difference has to be pointed out. smh
