Quote by: tinybear  We don't ban something because it's uncivilized (different people have different views as to what's civilized and what's not anyway). We ban sports only if they are considered 'cruel' or 'disgusting' in the eyes of the vast majority of the population. I suspect that's why cockfighting is banned. |
That is right, Tiny, and humans that engage in sport do so willingly without any prodding or coercion. They also can quit any time. Dogs or cocks in a pit are trained and forced to fight to death, or near death, just as are bulls in bullfighting.
