Dogs that live in cages definitely go crazy though.

Absolutely. One of my best friends has a 70+ pound pit in her little townhouse and its an incredible dog. Always super friendly and very very loyal. Not to mention its very protective of her and her daughter. Theres a reason that people refer to pit bulls as a nanny breed, but just like every other dog they have to be trained by someone who isnt retarded and owned by someone who can give them the excercise, food, etc that derf mentioned.

I didnt mention shit. But since you bring it up:

I blame the owners. I know the neigborhood (here comes the racist in me), i grew up there, well the next neigborhood over anyway. Remember the crown heights riots of the early 90s? Its that neigborhood, and nothing has changed. Its a super low class neigborhood, the type of place you dont walk down the street unless you want to get robbed. The people that live there use the dog as a status symbol not a pet, the dog is a look at me toy, comparible to the way squids treat their sport bikes.

I would be wiling to make a very safe bet that the dog was trained to be vicious. For a very good description of what I believe the environment that this dog was living in please refer to any DMX song made "my dogs fight ruf ruf" "my dogs bite ruf ruf"

Wow not sure how I managed that one other than completely not paying attention. But yea that sounds about right. Vick has admitted that he got involved in dog fights very young because of the same thing. His borther would be out there with a few nasty pit bulls fighting them right in front of the run down apartments they grew up in and he always saw it so he thought that in order to be respected and cool that he had to get into it too.
