In ``Picking the wrong fight'' (letter, March 3) there's something the writer has failed to figure out. Boxers choose to fight. Greyhounds don't choose to run. They run because they've been purposely starved. And let's face it: Not all the rabbits and kittens dangled in front of them are fake.
For their own entertainment, people force normally peaceful animals to submit to the ``law of the jungle.'' A lot of good it does the animals. When they can no longer entertain, they die anyway. ``Putting two human beings in the boxing ring'' is hardly in the same category. Boxers put themselves in the ring.
