    Rooster fighting and dog fighting are organized and carried out by socio-paths and psycho-paths. It makes no difference if its legal or not. Pedro, as well as Vick, are missing the empathy chip that most decent folks have. Prostitution is legal in Nevada. However, if you get the AIDS...then, you still got the AIDS. The judge and jury don't have a cure.

    I dont think you want to categorize the dominican culture as a culture full of sociopaths and pscho-paths. We need to respect culture differences. i dont see why Mr Martinez is being judged for doing what in his culture is accepted.

    Are you saying every person in the Dominican Republic fights chickens? It is inhumane, regardless of some so-called culture. I don't need to respect any culture that is cruel to animals. I said people who breed and raise animals for the purpose of watching them fight to their death are sociopaths and psychopaths. If the whole country fights roosters, then the whole country is indeed, psychopaths. On Christmas morning...does a Dominican family awake to fight their birds? Do they give gifts of sharp new blades to attatch to their roosters' legs? Then, watch the rooster blood fly? If that's culture...I don't want any of it.

    Re: Pedro Martinez - the new Michael Vick

    Some of you might know that I also run a boxing website locally in St. Louis, MO - I despise Roy Jones Jr. for many reasons - but this article really makes me sick. I agree that we should not judge the cultures of other countries...but inhumane is inhumane.

    http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/mo...s_fight-3.html

    He plays for an American team/league and I guess that means he should keep himself away from things that will make his team/league look bad in the eyes of Americans...especially since the Vick stuff happened.

    Then again, Pedro has never held himself to the general consensus of polite behavior.

    In DR, this stuff happens. Since it happened over there - and it is legal over there...let him be.

    My two bits.

    Re: Pedro Martinez - the new Michael Vick

    In my opinion people that take part in dog fighting, cock figting or any other form of fighting involving innocent parties are total cowards. Those people don't have the balls to get in a ring themselves so they have to be tough and let animals do their fighting for them. Mike Vick, Pedro Martinez and everyone associated with that animal fighting are just pure scum. I don't care if it is legal in other countries you have to be messed up in the head to get enjoyment out of something like that.

    The only way I would like to see Vick play football again is if he is held accountable for his play on the field just like he did with dogfighting. If he does not perform well after each game his is taken and held under water, electrocuted and whatever other torture comes to mind. The first time his team loses he pays for it with his life just like he did with those dogs.
