Dr. Phil Confronts Dog Fighter On Show
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 13th, 2010 in Animal Issues, TV Hosts.
Dr. Phil recently confronted a man on his show who was convicted of a felony for his involvement with dog fighting.
Apparently, applying the stick of justice did nothing to change this man’s views, as he still believes dog fighting is not a crime and is no different from “football or boxing.”
Hmm…Well, if you don’t count the fact that people play the above sports, not animals.
And they’re usually consenting to this and are aware of the risks.
Plus, football or boxing doesn’t involve fighting to death…then sure, no difference at all!
Dr. Phil isn’t too happy about the Supreme Court decision to strike down a law making the sale of certain videos involving animal cruelty illegal, either.
He posted to his blog:
“I was sick to my stomach. Dogfighting is illegal in this country but selling a dog-fighting video isn’t? We’re seriously going to let people profit from their films of pets being abused? Is there anyone out there who thinks that is even close to being the right thing to do?”
The Humane Society of the United States statistics show there are about 40,000 dog fighters in the United States who call themselves “professional.”
Unlike the rest of the country, these professionals need to experience a permanent recession!
