Parents for Dog Bite Awareness

Thanks to Raziel for fighting over this point.

Pitbull advocates become incensed when we use the term “bloodsport” or show images of pit bulls fighting like in the pits. They call it offensive. Inaccurate. Slander. Hatred.

But all they’re doing is confessing that they find pit bulls offensive. Denying the very nature of pits is hateful. Their true nature, their innate traits, their reason for existence, all of it is ironically hated the most by those who scream, “I love my pit bull!”

Imagine if a retriever owner claimed he loves retrievers and then spent his entire time online screaming that retrievers don’t play catch. Oh, and you can train them to not do it. Oh, and if you supervise them with kids, you can stop any retrieving. And teach the kids to NEVER throw a ball. You wouldn’t just call him crazy. You’d call him a dog abuser.

To adamantly deny the innate purpose and breed traits of a dog is the truest form of hate.

See, pit bulls are not mean. They are not evil. They are not bad. They are not vicious.

Saying pit bulls are mean because they complete their intended predatory drift sequence is as asinine as saying retrievers are mean when they retrieve a ball.

It makes no sense at all. Pit bulls were created to tear apart opponents in a pit. They aren’t bad for doing that. They are good.

And just as you cannot 100% reliably train retrieving out of a retriever or pointing out of a pointer or herding out of a shepherd, you cannot train mauling out of a mauler.
