What's the big deal about dog fighting anyway? Especially if you eat the dog afterwards.

Is domestic cow slaughtering any better?

Dog fighting is cruel and unnecessary. It's evil to get joy out of watching an animal suffer and that's the only thing that comes out of dog fighting.

Cow slaughtering is for food which we need to survive. There is a big difference to me.

Have fun with your cruel and unnecessary culinary joy which comes from the evil suffering of cows.

Most people don't consider the refusal to respond to another's point an "argument." And having responses to said refusal doesn't prevent you from ending your participation in a conversation.

Yeah, but that is more to do with the victim then the intention.

I don't think you'd rather someone intentionally kill your dog over "unintentionally" killing your dog. Or you'd rather someone intentionally killing your kid instead of "unintentionally" killing your kid.
