[QUOTE="donna723, post: 72592, member: 1883"] This is so totally disgusting, on so many levels. For her to imply that he should be "excused" for his behavior because [i]he's from the South [/i]and dog fighting is part of his [i]culture[/i] ... OMG! I don't know if I'm more offended as a dog owner or as a Southerner! I have always liked Whoopi Goldburg, but not any more. I think her total experience with "the South" was probably watching "Deliverance" a few times! How ignorant! I've lived in the rural South since I was a kid, and I've never seen anything like this, and I've never known even one person that would condone dog fighting or the cruel, sick torture of animals. And I am soooo very tired of hearing Southerners stereotyped as a bunch of inbred slack-jawed banjo pickers! I have already emailed ABC TV with my thoughts on this, and I urge anyone else who feels the same way to do so too. Do they do this on purpose on the theory that stirring up controversy will get them a larger viewing audience? I think it backfired on them this time! I wonder if Barbara Walters is aware that they use cute little dogs like her "Cha Cha" as BAIT! [/QUOTE]
