She is correct that dog fighting is sport in the south. I have always lived in places where there are known dog fights. My Lost Boys used to look up dogs online for their Fun Friday.

The Unites States is a big country, with many different, and often conflicting, norms.

Whoopi just covered her butt/apologized, etc.
I saw it yesterday and I wasn't offended by what she was saying. She wasn't saying dog fighting was acceptable but that it is more common in the South.

Dogs should never have to endure anything more stressfull than chasing after a frisbee in a tree lined park.

Raising dogs for fighting is wrong. If the dog raised for fighting never sees a fight, was it wrong to raise that dog to fight? The dogfighting is what's wrong. The people who raise the dogs for fighting need to be bitten by the winning dogs.

"There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country" isn't a defence. It is an indictment.

so is this more of the homogenization of a new world culture, then? is cock fighting just as bad or not? should all dogs be only pets who run in the park and catch frisbees? should inuit’s not be allowed to use sled dogs? farmers give up sheep dogs? should cultures give up their traditions because others think it’s brutal or bloodthirsty?

Yes, the genetic make up of some breeds is so intense that not using them for the work that they were bred for is cruel, & they need more stimulation than just chasing a frisbee...
Doesn't change the fact that breeding them just to kill or be killed is wrong & primative. I don't think Whoopi was really defending Vick against the charges, so much as pointing out that he does seem to have had an epiphany of sorts. His statement accepting the blame may be just a PR gambit, but it has raised in my mind the possibility that whether or not he plays football again, there may be hope for him as a human being in the end.
