Horses are forced to race each other and beaten with whips to perform.
Think of animals taken from their natural habitat and enslaved for carnivals or zoos. They generally all go insane from depression.
What about the cows and chickens SLAUGHTERED every day, watch some documentaries on those conditions, you might become a vegetarian.

all 100% irrelevant. people create laws based on the times. sometimes they are irrational, sometimes illogical, sometimes totally arbitrary. just because one 18 year old is more or less mature than another doesn't mean there isn't a need to draw a line in the sand and say "once you are XX yrs old, you are considered an adult" for determining when a person should and should not be held accountable for their actions or if they can vote, drink, drive or whatever.
you keep trying to point out contradictions in human behavior as if no one understands this. ... as if you just figured something out that no one caught on to yet. my guess is that you are very young.
besides, the dogs DO have to fight each other. do you understand what they go through to be made vicious? do you understand that Vicks property had like 40 corpses of dogs that just weren't up to the task or lost and were tortured and killed? are you now suggesting that two pit bulls, trained to fight, started, made mean and then thrown into a fight to the death have the option of just laying down and not fighting? they should just talk about it? hug it out?
i personally don't care much about animals at all. they are just that.. animals. they are not people. a cat would just as quickly shit on your corpse as they would come up to you purring and wanting to be scratched... but talking about someone who knowingly broke a dozen state and federal laws and saying "well, its not a big deal because those laws are stupid" doesn't abdicate him from any responsibility for his breaking those laws. ... and NO ONE has the right to choose which laws they like, which they don't, which they will obey and which they will not. you are either breaking the law, or you aren't.
