Ignorance, vanity and fear is killing these amazing dogs. Lots of people see posts like this and think "gangbanger" or "dogfighter", but they are so wrong! We know the truth about these dogs, and we are trying to correct the mistaken belief that these are dangerous and uncontrollable. 30 years of explotation by the media and popular rap videos has created a myth that will continue to cause death and suffering for this type of mixed-breed dog. We can end this horror only by educating the public so we can reverse the tragic mass killing of these smart and loving animals. We owe these dogs a fair chance of survival and I believe one day in the future, they will no longer be brutalized by sick individuals, released from the sad practice of chaining, stopped from being the most euthanized shelter dog, and given a chance to be a beloved family member like all other dogs have. We must be vigilant and do our best to reeducate the public and stand up for the much maligned Pit Bull mixed-breed type dogs. They are not weapons. They are not warning systems. They aren't yard ornaments. They also are not for the feeble and insecure to use as prorection. They are not the device cruelly used to fight each other for the entertainment of evil and soulless gamblers. They aren't the sweeps-week sensationalist magnet the media uses to enhance viewership. They are the sweetest most devoted and most intelligent of all dogs. They are members of the military and police. They are support for the mentally fragile and medically needy. They are pure love!
