In dog fighting, dogs with negative behavioral traits (aggression, viciousness) are pumped up, fed and massaged into champion fighters. Big money changes hands and paying fans and owners are so into the spectacle that they completely overlook the plight of the dogs brought up and conditioned to compete with such a lack of focus on proper training and normal nurturing that outside of the pit they are almost completely disfunctional. Champs are treated like kings as long as they keep winning and others that can't cut it are discarded like trash. Screw the uncomfortable issues - Its all about the money and the spectacle of competition. Sound familiar??

"As I look into the sullen faces of the dregs of society and the ugliness that they wallow in, I am disturbed to see the whole scene meld into a churning mosaic until I am confronted by a reflection of myself." Buzz 8/23/2007
