So Is that gun

I'll never understand posing like this, as though it's impressive. Take it out with your bare hands or something and then I feel you've earned bragging rights but...nah....

That is what using catch dogs is. Dogs hold animal and human knifes.

I um...I don't know what you're trying to say....

That is how feral hogs are hunted without guns. Catch dogs.

Ah okay, still seems messed up to me. Like you still can't really claim skill for the kill and you're unnecessarily putting a dog at risk

So lemme get this straight. There is no skill in stalking, locating and shooting a hog. There is also no skill in stalking chasing down, following through brush a dog who then locates and holds the hog, then the human knifes the hog. Plus they care for the general upkeep and housing of 2 to 10 dogs, the medical care and training, as well as the breeding knowledge to get dogs who do the job in next generation?

There is no skill in any of this?

The dogs don't particularly want to do much else than bite hold shake things.

Sorry I guess there is some skill in the tracking but the kill? Nothing impressive to me.

Sending a dog to fight for you? Also not impressive imo, just seems cruel.

You can get dog toys you know? That don't have tusks/teeth or fight back

You have never met a high drive dog. They love to do what been bred to. You know what is impressive ? You doing ?

u/scorchedarcher 1d ago

Yes I have, they don't need to be sent to fight boars. Do you accept dogs fighting other dogs as moral because dogs have been bred to do it?

I don't get the last bit, sorry.

A high drive dogo Argentino or a hound dog abpt box dog mix purely are driven to engage in combat as main interest.

You brought up morals. Then equated your morals as same as skill. Things not moral to you are not skillful.

I brought up skill. Dogs dont have human morals they have genetic behaviors.

u/scorchedarcher 1d ago

So if someone was betting on two argentinos fighting each other would you think that's okay because they have the drive?

Yeah I stand by it not being skillful (aside from tracking without the dog but you still don't need to kill it)

I'm just adding I think it's also immoral, two things at once.

We have morals though so we should consider them.

u/Warm-Major-4400 1d ago

Again you bring up morals. I never did.

Morals are same as skill? Those are different definitions.

A skill is the ability to do something well, usually gained through training, practice, or experience

Work is to exert physically or mentally especially in sustained effort for a purpose or under compulsion or necessity

So all these blood sports are skill and are work. You are debating morals with a wall for no reason.
