Pits are never at fault, the victims always are. The world needs to learn how to accommodate pit bulls instead of wanting to put restrictions on pit bulls. They are great, loyal pets. Forget about how many attack their owners, after all anytime there is an attack, it is the irresponsible owner to blame, not the pits. Pits can do no wrong.
So what that it is said that pits are committing two-thirds of the fatalities. We, as pit owners and apologists, know that we can always say there is no such thing as a pit so those figures are not credible. Another thing is that pits are misidentified and the media has a conspiracy to “get the pits”. It makes for good headlines to blame a pit bull.
Yes, I know that it is not the reporter that identifies the attacking pit but we can always say that it is an ignorant reporter who doesn’t know a chihuahua from a pit. http://thetruthaboutpitbulls.blogspot… Besides chihuahuas bite more than pits, use that the next time. Doesn’t matter that a bite from a chihuahua probably won’t land you in the hospital or a casket, compare those apples to oranges, the public doesn’t know the difference. Always talk bites, compare bite records to fatality records, it is confusing to the general public.
Also refer to “dogs will be dogs” just like when a guy rapes a girl, they always say “boys will be boys”. The public understands this. Just because pits were bred specifically to fight and kill, unlike other dogs that were bred to be of service to mankind, doesn’t mean they are different. Just because a pit doesn’t have the same body language of other breeds doesn’t mean it is different. Watch pits in a fight, they are wagging their tails because they are doing what they were bred to do and they like it.
Most dogs, granted, will bite and run away but not our game pits, they don’t stop even if it means their death. http://youtu.be/l4AbXrdgmKE This is typical behavior of a pit and I am proud of it. I don’t want them to change, I like their gameness. I laugh each time my pits rip into another dog, some useless wildlife, and especially when they “play” with livestock.
Another excuse you can make is that pits are always misidentified. We pit apologists invented a wonderful way to prove that they are misidentified. Who cares when the police, the vets, and animal control identify a pit, what do they know? http://thetruthaboutpitbulls.blogspot… And always refer to the media conspiracy to “get the pits”.
Tell people that the media only reports if a pit bull is involved and the reporter will deliberately misidentify to make a more sensational headline. I often imagine all the journalists in the world getting together to form this conspiracy.
Remember to always bring up the National Canine Research Council. The public falls for those big names, deceptive or not. Yeah, I know this is not a national type of thing, yeah, I know that the main person is a self published author who basically has failed to get her books picked up by a reputable publishing house. The point is the public doesn’t know that. There are more sources you can quote such as the AKC. Sure the AKC allows puppy mill cruelty but they don’t want any cruelty on their big litter producing money maker, pit bulls and Staffies. By the way, pits have several names and staffie is just one of them. The ignorant public may not want a pit as a pet but they might take a Staffordshire Terrier, sounds better.
Even HSUS and the ASPCA stand behind the pits. Yes, they are donor driven and would lose donations if they came out against pits but does the public know that? It’s easy to see how they have been bought with the dogmen’s money because of the change over the years. Sure they bust dogmen, but it is the little ones, not the big guys. The big guys use their donations to support this because it is the easiest way to “get rid of their competition”, just turn them in to HSUS. Keeps them all in business.
