Resolved: Dogfighting should be legalized in the United States

Fist of all I want to voice my disgust at you taking most of my words and pasting them into your argument. I believe that was not the right thing to do. Which is why I try to sum up what my opponent says in my own words. Anyways on to the closing round. After the paste job you did, you argue that I never refuted your first observation. Well I did later in that round. I will discuss that later when it comes up. You now compare dog fighting to hunting, fishing and non medical testing. A better comparison, however dog fighting does not impact humanity the same way as hunting and fishing. I really don't support non-medical testing of animals so I won't talk about it since this is the last round. Hunting and fishing a way of life for many Americans. Now I don't support hunting for the sake of killing. I don't support fishing just for fisherman to throw a dead fish on the ground and leave it there. Those sports are for food traditionally. Food is a benefit. Killing for the sake of killing is murder. Just like dog fighting. Murdering innocent animals that could be loved and treated to a good family. If you kill a dog for food I am still against it. Why not kill a wolf then? Or a fox or a coyote? When is comes to dog you think of trust and the dog trusts you his master. Bad or not dog fighter or non dog fighter there is a trust. Trust to food, water and care. Otherwise the wild would look better to the dog. As for the chips in a bag and meat in a package I mainly said dogfighting is not a good comparison to those things. Meat might benefit you, so can chips. You can't eat a living dog. Living is a different class to dead. If you kill animals for food it is justified. If you kill animals you won't eat it's murder. If you can't get this point in your head I will say it a dozen more times. There are better more honest ways for money. You can't expect to live very long by eating money anyways. The point of money is to get it out of your hands in trade for something to use. Start a business, plant a garden, carpool, go green, walk to work, save water, invest, a never ending list! Dog fighting is not on the top of my list, you admitted it is not on yours and why should it be on the governments? Next after another paste job that I hope the voters see, you say you supported pit bull fighting. Not all dogs must fight. I hope you know that if only pit bull fighting is allowed more dog fighters will breed them. creating a whole lot more animals, and as you said earlier, a whole lot more dog bites. Most importantly a whole lot more dangerous pit bulls in the shelters. Next I need to define care. Care: the R03;process of R03;protecting someone or something and R03;providing what that R03;person or thing R03;needs. http://dictionary.cambridge.org... Shelter is a care place for many dogs. It's the best they've got. Unless you want a pack of wild dogs not afraid of humans on the rampage. I know many of them die but what else can we do? dog fighting won't end shelter use, in fact it will probably add to the problem since the dogs dog fighters don't want will go there. As for whether I know whats in a dogs head I do know. I have dogs! I know she's obedient she helps me herd sheep she comes when I call, she cares for me, if I fall down for some reason she'll come over and help me there are many true stories on how dogs care for their masters I will never accept that dog fighters actually love their dogs! Military is not the same as dog fighting for the dogs fighting are not protecting our country. They are giving their lives for sport that some people find enjoyable. Well you should research such things as bear baiting and cock fighting because if we let dog fighting be legalized they will be too. So you support the legalization of gay marriage on the same basis that it improves humanity? Does dog fighting improve humanity? Not as much. That's human rights is what gay marriage is animal rights is dog fighting and since dogs can't hold a sign saying we hate fighting we'll just have to assume they shouldn't be used for that purpose and should be put to better tasks like farming which is what I'm acquainted with. Which I know my dog likes. Do you know dog fighters like dog fighting? No is the answer because you admitted you wouldn't be a dog fighter so you don't fight dogs so you don't know how such a dog would feel. I do know how my dog feels. By the way my dog is a border collie/blue heeler. But I have a friend who owns two pit bulls. Very nice dogs have never even growled at me. Very well loved dogs. Well there's no doubt http://www.dogsbite.org... pit bulls are bred to be aggressive and thats a fact. However this can be trained out of a dog and it has worked such in the case of my friend. IN CLOSING.... Aggressive conclusion by pro. I just have to say that I know what is the right choice for the dogs. You should too. Vote con because I have told you specifically what the problems are, dog fighting does not benefit humans as much as hunting which is were the public draws the line and living property should not be abused in any manner especially dog fighting. I argued every point used my OWN words and took my opponent down to size. I thank him for the idea of this debate. My name is Brian N. Johnson and that's all for now!
