"But, can't I defend both?"

Of course. :-)

But we can't deny that a lot more money flows in for a burned dog than for a burned boy. Many more people come forward to adopt an abused dog than an abused kid.
And we can't blame the media for that.

If the media can be bought-off regarding domestic violence, can't they be bought-off regarding dog-fighting?

They know which story will garner more outrage and bring in more viewers--and it ain't the domestic violence story. :-)

I've heard people actually say that if it were a choice of hitting a person in the road or an animal, they would hit the animal because the poor animal doesn't know any better than to walk in the street and people should know better. People are really twisted.

I would hit an animal, even a little kitten, rather than hit Ted Bundy, even if he was trying to commit suicide by jumping in front of my car!

You really have to wonder what's wrong w/ people that they would choose an animal over a person in any circumstance.
