Never has the violence been "right", though. So my question is, what makes dog fights so wrong compared with other > forms of entertainment.

It's what separates the domesticated dog from the wild dogs you mentioned on the national geographic channel. The domestic dog is a pet, meant to be cared for by a human. Sending that animal into a pen to die for our amusement....is not exactly caring for it. Heck, how's this so different than watching boxing? I hate boxing so I won't defend it. But, what if the boxers were FORCED to fight, and the winner routinely killed the loser in the ring? That would be a bit closer to what the dogs go through in a dog fight.
