I found this on the San Fransico Chronicle Website. It was discussing the problem of pit bull attacks and how a recent attack in that area of leading to a hearing and possible breed-restriction legislation. This is a huge issue about pit bulls. Many apartments refuse pit bulls as well as issurance policies, some towns and even some states have banned pit bulls. I have heard that Texas is also discussing a ban on pit bulls which would be devestating to my 4 pit bull house hold. Many people see pits and think of them as monsters and viscious. I walk my dog at the park and I see people sneer at her and some walk way out of their way to avoid a dog who will probably run from them at the slightest look. This article was speaking out against pit bull hysteria, saying that many attacks are falsely accusing pit bulls because anyone that sees a beefy dog and thinks it is a pit. It was really refreshing seeing someone in the media who is defending the pit breed. In the article they had a pit bull test, which i will link for you to take at your enjoyment. It shows you several pictures of dogs and asks you to pic out the ONE pit bull, all the dogs are pure bred and if you click on the picture it will show you the breed name. It was actually really hard because I am a veteran pit bull owner and still could not find the real pit bull. This shows how the "brand" of the pit bull has can be falsly accused.
