The fighting of dogs and cocks is banned in America -- save the exception that you provided -- but is legal in La Republica Dominicana, and you believe that our mores of animal treatment are not more enlightened that those espoused in Santo Domingo?

I was not making any commentary on dominican culture as I know little about it....however my mother lived there for many years. If you say our culture is superior then I have no argument for you.
but it's all relative....
we house animals in 'factory farms' and have little protection for the animals in our food supply, "downer" cows for example....they view cock fighting as sport, we view it as cruelty. Here these coporate farms are viewed as the 'food supply' I view it as cruelty.
