Look I agree that dog fighting is wrong to do morally. I personally don't want anything to do with it.

But if somebody raises a bunch of dogs specifically for dogfighting I don't see how I can impose my opinion on him. Because it is just that and opinion. Its not something thats set in stone, as in killing people or stealing.

Is raising dogs for attack/guard and mine duty for the army also wrong? I say no, but some will say yes. Its also a matter of opinion. I'd rather a dog get blown up on a mine than a soldier. Others will disagree.

A rule of law in a society is build on boundaries. That includes boundaries on how much can the majority interfere in the business of a minority. If somebody is doing something that is not hurting any other person, there should be some serous thought put into before sanctioning an interference because it sets a dangerous precedent for personal liberty.
