During a recent tele-townhall event, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) defended the rights of Americans who want to see animals such as dogs fighting against one another.
Rep. King took issue with an amendment to the Federal Farm Bill that would criminalize attending organized animal fights and would impose additional penalties on people who bring children to the events.
His reasoning can be summed up as follows: “If it’s not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting, there’s something wrong with the priorities of people [who think inducing someone to watch animals fighting is a crime].”
Hmmm…where do we begin Congressman King? People choose to fight (and get paid for it), but animals don’t get that choice. If you can’t comprehend that, there’s not only something wrong with your priorities, but also with your mind!
Watch the clip below, and try to stay calm (Warning: we found it hard to)
[email protected] from the Uk and I am disgusted that there are people like this running for powerful places in the US society. I have rescued a Staff Bull Terrier that was once owned by a local drug dealer that tried to use him for fighting, luckily he was arrested and the dog was removed and now he has a safe and loving home with me. I know this crap goes on and it is so wrong, this Congressman King should be put in a pit with aload of angry animal lovers see how he likes it….what a knob!!!!!
