10 Stereotypes About Pit Bulls That Are Just. Dead. Wrong.

I'd rather be a "pit bull apologist" than a monster who euthanizes innocent dogs for looking like pits (whether they actually are or not), separating families or leaving them homeless due to pit bull discrimination, and endorsing useless breed bans which only feed mass hysteria and do nothing to protect anyone.

Thank goodness for people like this landlord who gives homes to families with pits. ;;

Ah man, I don't have any experience with pibbles but pretty much everything in the article is equally applicable to staffies. Bull terriers make great pets when they're taught proper canine manners (like every other breed out there) and they're stupid cute.

After reading the article...are breed specific laws in the US as amazingly arbitrary as the ones in the UK? Here we assess whether a dog's okay or not based almost entirely on their appearance and how close they are to the profile of the banned 'types' of dog. Behavior, past or present, is never taken into account. :|

Pit bulls describe several breeds of dogs (including mutts) where they have "block-shaped" heads, including bull terriers and staffies. We got a ton of staffie and staffie mixes at the shelter I volunteer at, nom.

I think that's what distresses me most. Lots of people nowadays are willing to open their hearts to pibbles, but can't adopt them because they don't have enough money and they'd have to face the choice between giving up their home or their dog due to breed bans. :/ In brighter news, there was a city that lifted their pit bull ban after a pibble rescued their owner from being sexually assaulted by her ex. Pibbles are heroes!
