Though most of us who own
pitbulls do the very best we can to care, house and educate people about our dogs, there are some who neglect and abuse their animals, no only
pitbulls. This is used against the breed in the media to brainwash the general public to believe that all who own
pitbulls are scum criminals. This could be no further from the truth. I take serious offense to this label. I, myself, have meet more honest, hard working, educated people since I got into these dogs 12+ years ago than the media hyped,
stereotypical criminal type. Yes, these dogs are owned by
criminal types - yes, raids happen and drugs and
pitbulls are found- yes, incidents happen that people are hurt or killed by these dogs but the common denominator is always IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS. The press
never mentions any of this when reporting, why, because
pitbull attack sells not irresponsible owner..... . These dogs are not the
vicious man biters they are labeled, these dogs need responsible owners, period. Most attacks happen because of lack of proper restraint, also because the dog is abused and teased from very young so when loose, well, we all know the rest. This is another fact the media leaves out. We at www.stop-bsl.com work hard to help educate lawmakers and the general public when pushing for breed specific legislation (
bsl) because bottom line there are no bad dogs just bad owners.
