It's A Ruff Life For Pit Bulls

At times, it definitely feels easier to judge a book by its cover, to take the bad action of one and blame an entire group. And this happens everyday, for different people, cultures, ideas; it's what society does. And unfortunately, sometimes even man's best friend gets thrown under that same bus. Many states have breed specific legislation that they use to discriminate against pit bulls in particular; making life difficult for the breed and for those who responsibly own pit bulls. Turn on the news and there will be stories of the "vicious" dogs attacking children, house pets, or other dogs. But who really is to blame when a dog bites? When a drunk driver gets behind the wheel and kills an innocent family, is the car to blame? Of course the driver takes responsibility, it would make no sense to ban all Honda's because people drive drunk in them, or ban sports cars because they can drive faster than minivans. So, why does the media blame a pit bull when it bites? Shouldn't blame be placed on the irresponsible owner who did not train, socialize, or properly take care of their own dog? And because of this, many stories are surfacing that even well trained service pit bulls are being discriminated against as if they were bad, and it is all because of the dog's breed. It's time to put an end to the discrimination of pit bulls, and it is time to show everyone for what they really are; loving, loyal, and watchful family dogs. Watch the following video to see a pit bull in its natural habitat and hear first hand what it is like to own this breed.
