I can see the qualitative difference between the culture of a nation that bans these activities and the culture of a nation that legalizes and regulates it. To me, it's clear.
When it comes to animal rights though it truly is all relative.

I look at the person who goes out and hunts for sport and can't see how they can call themselves animal lovers and then condemn other people going to dogfights.

Yet I am sure there are vegetarians out there that would be appalled that I would condemn hunters and call myself an animal lover yet I eat meat from slaughtered animals.

And I'm sure there are people that go to dog fights or cock fights and yet they would truly consider themselves animal lovers.

In the case of animal rights it really isn't intellectually lazy to say that "it's all relative" cause it is.
