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.

You ready? http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/..._by_owner.html

The malevolent mutt that fatally mauled a 4-year-old boy as his terrified brothers watched from beneath a bed was trained to kill by the dead child's stepdad, neighbors said Saturday.

Now, it's a mutt...

And, the FIRST comment:

I hope to god they KILL that ***---ing dog. Pit bulls, Mastiffs, bull terriers ALL need to be put down. Any ****** who says "They've never shown any aggression, why he was just a big playful puppy" I hope your dog bites the sh--- out of you. Those dogs will snap, because it it something in their genetic makeup that they will turn and kill and many times on the same people who raised them, and the dog does not have to be raised as an attack dog to kill someone either. I do not like dogs, and cannot understand why the hell anyone would want one as a pet.

Um yes....Some of you can blame the owner, but animals simply do not reason. So unless the owner purposely trained the dogs to attack, they were simply just acting like....animals.

The same can be said for those children left in the room with that dog. Most animals do not attack unless provoked - any guess if the kid gave the dog a whack?

That asshole tries to come for my mastiff and he shouldn't fear the bark or bite of my dog. Fear the owner packing the lead flinging device.

No, that dog needs to be put down. I would be willing to bet that if left alive it attacks others, the article specifically says that the owner trained it to fight, and that he regularly walked around with an arm pad teaching the dog to bite. This dog wasnt acting like an animal, it was acting like a fighting machine.

Its not the dogs fault, but he will pay for it. The owner though, if all the allegations about him teaching the dog to be a fighting do are true should be charged with 2nd degree Murder under Ny's alternative murder charges, thats murder that was not pre-meditated.
