Everyday, people ask why news agencies omit the word ‘pitbull’ from attack stories.
Everyday, people question why victims provide pro pitbull disclaimers when sharing their experiences.
If a victim doesn’t press charges or doesn’t report an attack, people blame them and question them.
This post is for those people. Want to know why journalists are scared of pit advocates?
Want to know why victims hide in silence or duck behind pitbull-loving statements?
Here’s why. This “professional trainer” took his pit to an air bnb and allegedly allowed it to roam multiple times off leash.
Enough times that the neighbor called the police for help.
The neighbor then used his iron to unalive the dog.
At that point, the professional trainer used his large, public following to craft a one sided narrative about what happened and listed the neighbor’s full name and address, inciting his pitbull loving followers into a frenzy.
And frenzy they did, just like the dogs they promote. Many of the pit advocates focused on ways to burn the neighbor’s home down or unalive his family.
I’ve saved a SMALL SAMPLING of them here for documentation and for raising awareness about the violence in the pit community.
The professional trainer engaged with his followers, encouraging the call to violence and even continuing to refine his doxxing details.
At one point, the professional trainer mocks the first responders, too.
A day later, and with many users reminding the professional trainer that doxxing is illegal in that area, he buckles down and updates the post with a gofundme. The pit’s name is #apollo ofc. #whatsinaname
The professional trainer continues to allow the doxxing and call to violence to remain for another full day even as the neighbor shares his side of the story.
So now you know why authorities are hesitant to take action against pit owners. Why victims are scared to share their stories. And why the media omits the word ‘pitbull’ after an attack.
