REPUBLICAN STEVE KING doesn’t understand the difference between humans choosing to fight one another in the sport of boxing, versus dogs forced into fighting by men who get their kicks out of what amounts to torturing animals.
KING: When the legislation that passed in the farm bill that says that it’s a federal crime to watch animals fight or to induce someone else to watch an animal fight but it’s not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting, there’s something wrong with the priorities of people that think like that.
As an animal lover, someone who has saved the lives of domestic animals, as well as wildlife around us, including a fox, civil words fail on what I’d like to write about Mr. King.
When I parked my car a few months back, the Maserati in front of where I parked had a “fox hunting” license plate. I left a note under the windshield, because it incensed me so. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of being in the presence of one of these beautiful creatures, the sight of dogs ripping it to shreds for human enjoyment is revolting.
I feel the same way about hunters who don’t bag, clean and prepare their kill when hunting. Even Ted Nugent has enough respect for what he hunts and kills to do this.
Obviously King would be sympathetic to Michael Vick’s whining that he is unable to get a pet dog for his kids….
There are no words to describe my opinion of this man other than they would probably be ones you would rather not see posted on your blog,Taylor. This man is
Men have a choice whether they want to fight in a ring. A dog does not. This is just sick and evil.
Why anyone would be surprised by this is beyond me. The man is obviously a borderline sociopath and authoritarian who believes in White Male Privilege. He is an evil little troglodyte who gets his jollies by oppressing the weak; by crushing the unfortunate under his jackboot. I could go on, but not without getting profane and scurrilous; perhaps making rude guesses about the smallness or lack of certain body parts. Best not to go there lest I get a time out from Ms Marsh.
