[QUOTE="donna723, post: 299022, member: 1883"] Marg, I think part of it is related to the atmosphere of professional football and the whole macho "god complex" thing. But I think that a lot of it has to do with the gang culture and the fact that pit bulls have become sort of a status symbol among certain groups. Every little punk, thug and drug dealer has his pit bulls 'for protection'. A lot of them use cruel self-styled 'training' methods to try to turn them into guard dogs and to be able to use them as weapons. A pit bull is seen by these people as the ultimate 'bad dog'. Everybody is afraid of the pit bulls. So, in the eyes of someone like Michael Vick, HE conquered the pit bulls which makes HIM the most powerful of all! At least, that's my theory. There has always been a dog fighting culture and while they certainly are cruel and heartless people, probably even they did not torture their dogs to death for their own amusement! There just has to be some type of emotional disconnect, some human element missing in anyone who could do such a thing! [/QUOTE]
