David Tant, the North Charleston man facing 68 charges connected with dog fighting, clearly is no fan of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Since he acknowledges he once was involved in the cruel business of dog fighting -- while denying any current involvement -- his view of the SPCA hardly comes as a surprise.
He claimed to our reporter that if it were left up to the SPCA, there wouldn't even be rodeos or horse-drawn carriages. "All the dogs would be allowed to do," he said, "is sit on the couch, eat popcorn and watch TV."
Sounds better to us than training dogs to kill or be killed.
Certainly, if it were up to the SPCA, there would be no dogs bred for such a barbaric "blood sport." If it were up to the SPCA, no dog would be chained to exercise equipment for hours on end to prepare for fights to the death. If it were up to the SPCA, family pets wouldn't be stolen to serve as bait dogs for pit bulls.
And if it were up to the SPCA, there would never be another dog fight staged in South Carolina. Or anywhere else for that matter. That's what the SPCA wants. And since such an inhumane "sport" is against the law, that's what we all should want.
