You are thinking backwards in my opinion. If you you really believe that the other things you mentioned are just as inhumane, why not argue to ban thise things as well? I see no logic in saying, "well we are treating these animals inhumanly, so the correct response to that would be lest make even more inhumane things legal". I do not agree with that at all.
I do not personally believe that there is a correlation between hunting and dog fighting. While I do not hunt myself, hunting goats and pigs here in Hawaii is very common, and done mostly for food. On a hunt the animals are put down swiftly. They are not made to suffer by ripping each other to shreds.
In fact, here in Hawaii, dog fighting is illegal, but it is legal to kill and eat your own dog as long as you kill the dog humanly. The most common method is a bullet to the head. I also don't do this personally, but the idea behind those laws is that shooting a dog in the head is far more humane than having two dogs tear each other to shreds.
But like I said, if there is something that you personally think is inhumane, why not fight to make those things illegal rather than fight to make all inhumane things legal.
should dog fighting be legal?
