Why do poor people love vicious dog breeds so much

I remember watching the documentary about this on bbc ni, a top gaelic football player was unmasked as a major player in the dog fighting world, the people involved were part of a rather large network spread throughout europe.

Aye. I bumped into a few once at a game fare that stopped in my town. One of the chaps was from Craigavon and that was just up the road from where I lived. Knew who they were through whispers and they gave me a nod and they commented on my dog (there were a few people with Staffs and Pit crosses, but I was the only one on that day with an English Bull. And the one I had at the time was big, even by Bully standards). But I didn't hang about. ****ing hate dog fighters. They ruin lovely dogs. Tarnish their rep as well. The only thing I like less is hoods and chavs that get them for looking hard in front of their mates.

I find that insulting. Define 'poor'? It's not only underprivileged people who own 'vicious' dogs (by that I am assuming you mean the pit bull type breeds). I own two Staffordshire terriers but wouldn't describe myself poor or craving some ill conceived status. :confused:

Ignorance, it seems, is rife judging by the continued derogatory comments made by the self professed elite among GD. If those who claim these dogs are vicious would take the time to educate themselves a little they would find that while they are certainly capable of the bad reputation they have inherited, they are actually excellent family dogs given the correct ownership.

Yep, a friend of mine had an english bull, most gentle dog ive ever seen, sadly theese status symbol idiots do indeed give certain breeds a bad reputation.
 
Only bitten once and it was a miniture irish wolfhound.

Wanted my 6p tomato crisps. Mum got her put down even though I didn't want her too.

Sad little boy I was.
 
Its so when they are walking back from collecting their hundreds of pounds in incapacity benefits and dole money they don't get robbed.

90% of them are thick as biscuits and think walking around with a cap titled backwards wearing a tracksuit and a nasty dog makes them hard
 
The punishments for carrying knives increased so people got dogs and trained them to be vicious. They are effective self defence. For chavs.
