Need help for a research paper - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**acceraStoof** · 10-24-2009, 11:16 PM

I am doing a research paper for my english class about the media and various organizations being responsible for the myths, and bad reputation of pittys. I have read everywhere about the CDC's claim about "pit bull type breeds" being the most dangerous, and that they admitted they were wrong, but I cant find an actual site that says THEY WERE WRONG that that isnt just someone opinion. Does anyone know of any sites that will help me? I have lots of stuff from that one that Marty reposted, but I need actual sites for my paper.

I really want my paper to be geared more towards the actual disproving of myths, but Im hitting a brick wall here. I cant find actual sites that say, for instance, it is completely impossible for them to lock their jaws, and I REALLY want to find some sites where THE MEDIA reported a "pit bull" attack and it was proven that it was in fact not a pitty at all.

Any and all feedback would be very very much appreciated!!!

I'm not sure if this is EXACTLY what you're looking for, but these two sites have served me well with easily digestible Pit information.

Happy Pit Bull

My recall is that the CDC didn't say they were wrong, they said that their data should not be used as a basis for breed specific laws.
A primary fault w/the CDC data is that breed ID was determined by the media.

Im mainly just looking for sites that I can quote that scientifically disprove myths about pits. Or anything that proves the media has called an undetermined breed, or a different breed all together, a pit bull in a story about attacks or bites.
