dog fighting at Amazon email this discussion to a friend?

Amazon, the online media retailer, is involved in a controversy concerning the sale of DVDs depicting actual dog and cockerel fights. They are claiming 1st amendment protection, and continue to sell product which is now a new federal crime. The engagement in animal fighting. This abhorrent proclivity for blood sports and the documenting of it for the purpose of entertainment is reason enough to send Amazon a message. There is no place for snuff films, child porn or animal fighting in our great land.

But aren't those activities banned in most civilized countries? They might be liable for cirminal charges in some areas if they are not careful.

Spain, Mexico, have bull fighting. Civilized is relative.
If the act is now a federal crime, does that cover the importation of media coverage for entertainment sake? I think the courts may have to decide. What do we say to Amazon in the interim and how do we say it? I have let them know they have lost me as a customer until this is resolved favorably.

It makes me ill, to know that a human can be so inhumane to another creature for the sake of money. But,it is a fact. I'm glad it is a federal crime,but wish the punishment when caught, would be more severe to these awful people.

I wish I could have made some videos of the last dog fight I was in, I could use the money. It ended up costing 450.00 at the doctors office and about 150.00 at the vets. For a short time there was a possibility of losing my hand. I don't think people realise just how savage a dog fight is. If I could have my way, anybody who enjoyed this so called sport should have the dogs unleashed on them. I would even furnish the dogs.But if you think about it we seem to have a plentiful supply of partialy evolved monkeys who build car bombs abuse and murder children an mutilate women and a lot of this is done in the name of an all loving God. I still think a major astroid strike is the only answer. And with a little luck amazon .com would be ground zero.

Amazon.com has just contacted me, stating they will continue to sell the videos as long as it is legal.
Therefore we must now make the production and distribution of this atrocity illegal. Oh great. Another law. But when the greed and irrersodsibility go unchecked, we then must use the rulke of law to impose restrictions of damaging material. Snuff films, child porn, animal fighting.

Hey.
I wonder what Amazon.com thinks now in light of the Thug Vick dog fighting debacle?

Money rules the rest of us are fools.
