Almost certainly we do. But, do you think if there was a culture that ran dog fights, that would be ok just because it’s part of their culture?
I would not find that ok, because all sentient beings are worth moral consideration, and culture is not a good reason to hurt sentient beings. I might not focus on it especially if that culture was already marginalized and discriminated against and there were bigger problems to solve, but I’d still have the understanding that it’s bad

I don’t think dog fighting is a moral issue: at worst, it’s aesthetic.
Really? What about bestiality?
yea. that, too, is an aesthetic issue. it can be gross without being immoral.
We disagree very strongly
you think gross things are immoral?
I think that having sex with sentient beings without their consent is extremely immoral
sentience and consent have nothing to do with one another.
someone experiencing it should have a say in whether or not they experience it
