We can agree to disagree but I feel so strongly about animal abuse - ANY animal abuse - abusers of performing animals, as well - that I'm pretty sure when it comes down to it, my punishment to these "unmen" is not nearly harsh enough and that if I had the power to actually follow through and punish these "unmen" myself it would actually be much, much harsher.<BR/><BR/>I would be thrilled to think that my outrage and attention to the matter will enlighten people to animal cruelty and bring an end to it. Sadly, you are right, though, "Men have been very cruel to each other and animals alike throughout the course of history." I don't see it - any of it - ending anytime in the near future.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-58995582119427087492009-03-25T05:22:00.000+03:002009-03-25T05:22:00.000+03:00I do agree with you for the most part.

I have been known on occasion to help escort spiders outside when I find them roaming in the house rather than killing them. <BR/><BR/>But I think the severity of the punishment you wish on these "unmen" is rather harsh. <BR/><BR/>Hurting animals for sport is a particularly disgusting act, I agree, but truely doubt had you the power to determine these mens fate that you would actually follow through. <BR/><BR/>Just for the record; I did not mean to imply calling them animals to be an insult. Infact, I think, it would be raising their status.<BR/><BR/>But I do share your outrage and sadness with regards to the treatment of animals in this form of "sport" as I do in the cases of performing animals when they are maltreated. And the treatment of innocents for what ever reason.<BR/><BR/>Men have been very cruel to each other and animals alike through out the course of history. Lets hope the outrage and outspokeness of people like you helps bring an end or at least a higher awareness to cruelty in general.The Air Is Breathablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399384609689635909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-35344214042237008462009-03-25T04:57:00.000+03:002009-03-25T04:57:00.000+03:00I don't consider "people" animals, Newcoach. Peop...I don't consider "people" animals, Newcoach. People have choices; animals don't, insofar as fighting for sport. If people want to go ahead and have at it - go for it. But to make animals - any four-legged animal - fight as a sport is something I will never be able to handle. I disagree with you about putting a man in a ring with a camel in heat. The animal would still be hurt worse. I want the man to hurt.

Does it not then make you the more egregious one? It seems to me that a better solution would be to put each one of those men in the ring with a male camel in heat and let the camel have at it.

How else could get they get them to fight on schedule?<BR/><BR/>Forget PETA Sabra. They're too busy making ads showing hot babes making out for the Super Bowl.<BR/><BR/>I am finding myself using the words 'these people' and 'you people' more these days too. I don't like being that way, but geez. How much of this kind of stuff can you take?

They bind the mouths of the animals so they do not hurt each other. Referees make sure to disengage the animals if the bounds get loose or the animals are in any real danger.

Somewhere - just recently, too. Who knew I'd need it for a post today, though?<BR/><BR/>"I thought Arabs revered the camel..." Yeah. Me to. Until I saw how they were treated in Egypt and in Jordan. Ditto with horses [one was actually killed by abuse!] and donkeys.
