OK, so you’re one of 97% of pollsters who think it should be a felony for people to hold dogfights, because violence and cruelty against animals for mere entertainment should be punished. What if a dogfight was held for filming a movie? Ok, so you boycott the movie or vote to charge the producers and the director for felony or a misdemeanor, because the stunt-dogs might suffer physical harm for mere entertainment. What if the dogfight was held for purposes of filming for a documentary? Would you press felony charges on the producers, or would a possible educational value alleviate the offense? Well, it depends on what's being labeled a dogfight.
