We're kinda screwed no matter what we do. We want folks to know what a great breed it is and that they are no monsters. But we don't want the general public all wanting a "pit bull". As we can see from all the horror stories, a lot of people can not handle them. I wish they would just stay out of the light. Even the good shows do damage (imo). Everyone around me is wanting a "pit bull" now because that Shorty guy (From Animal Planet's Pit Boss) said that the breed is just like other dogs. I wish the breed would just sit on the back burner out of the spot light. Rescues and breeders need to be more picky who they give their dogs to.
I agree! IMO, until we get rid of the BYB who are just pumping them out to make a quick buck and then the so called "reputable breeders" pumping them out and selling them to whoever that wants one and you have a lot of Shelters and Rescues adopting out to any avg Joe that pays the adoption fee, then this crisis we're facing will Never be fixed. I don't know of a solution. What I do know is is that Humans really suck. We destroy everything we get our hands on and apparently the APBT will be no Exception. ---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ---------- oh and I agree with Turner about getting them out of the spot light which includes the alleged "good light" TV shows. IMO, the TV shows are doing more damage than good and the APBT doesn't need it. They need to be completely out of the TV series as well as the media.
