Luke & Babette's Big "Pitbull" Lobby I LOVE dogs - pit bulls aren't *really* dogs. They are a mutation of a dog. This garbage breed needs to be eliminated. They serve not purpose that can't be filled by pretty much any other breed of dog, without the inherent risk to society. Unless of course, you're a dog fighter. If that's the case, no other dog will do! Sure, they've tried it with other breeds but it just doesn't work.

What breed of dog is most likely to turn on its owner?

I convinced an acquaintance to give up their pit bull they had adopted 2-3 years ago as a puppy. She had been sold all the typical lies the shelters tell to pawn these savages off on unsuspecting people. I provided her with information and let her draw her own conclusion. She had started the whole conversation talking about how frustrating it was that all the women in her new neighborhood, that liked to get together after the kids left for school, and walk their dogs together, had snubbed her. While they were typically friendly, when it came to walking their dogs, they would not invite her, or made excuses to keep her from joining when she asked about it. Also, they would not allow the children to come to her home for play-dates, even though she assured them she would be happy to crate the mutant. She finally called them out on it and they admitted they did not want to have their dogs around hers and they didn't feel comfortable being around it. So naturally, I sided with the neighborhood ladies and from that conversation, sent her some information. She really had no idea!
After she read my information, she said she could never look at her dog the same and would never be able to relax and trust her around her kids after knowing what she knows, and how many had turned on their families. Her husband wasn't on board but she insisted and they surrendered the dog! She thanked me and said she didn't know all that when they got the dog and always thought she was so sweet but she simply could not take that risk with her kids (because she was a GOOD parent)! As she put it, "My god, I can't 'unknow' this now". Kids were upset but got over it when the got a new, normal breed puppy! Good that you live in the kind of neighborhood where pits are the norm, but that's not really our demographic. Oh, and now, she's part of the coffee klatch, "Wisteria Lane", dog walking group! All's well that ends well! Except for the pit of course. She said she felt bad because it had still been in the shelter months later.

I have also shared pit bull information with several people considering adoption (the shelters *really* push these dangerous dogs on families) and the information changed minds. If anyone is ever teetering on the fence, I encourage them to subscribe to google alerts for pit bull attacks for two weeks to a month. That is usually very effective. I've also gotten countless private message thanking me for the information and links I share (in addition to the ones calling me names, threatening to have their mutant rip me to shreds, veiled threats and letting me know they "know where I live", you know, typical pit bull owner bullying) and often asking for more info to share with family members, neighbors, etc. that might already have a pit bull or be considering a pit bull, or as often as not, sharing their sad pit bull attack stories.
