"I have a dream that one day I will not be judged by my appearance, but by the content of my character."
This statement contains multiple errors:
1. Pit bulls' appearance isn't really what makes them dangerous. Sure, their visible strength plays a major part in the danger, but the appearance of their face has not killed anybody as far as I know. (However, looking at a pit bull can trigger an attack.)
2. It's the "content of character" - their behavior - that makes these dogs so dangerous. Pit bulls have so much character that they maul the children they're playing with!
Long story short, the "content of character" already is what these wiggle butts are judged by. I'd like to thank the original creator of this picture for furthering the pro-BSL efforts. It's this kind of contradiction that will soon become the downfall of the pro-pit propaganda.

The nutters' continual co-opting of sentiments related to human civil rights is disgusting. And they didn't even cite the author in that case.
comment too funny not to share from

[Are your neighbors trashy? Pit bull owners usually are. You won't be able to get them to take care of their dog responsibly - call the police, involve animal control - but don't waste your time trying to get them to be responsible for their dog.
Pit bull owners have a sense of entitlement because they're delusional about the breed. They don't care about others' safety or pet safety because "Mah dog! You're saying bad things about mah dog! He's different! He's not like the ones that attack kids! He's mah dog!"]
You make an excellent point Dignitas, perhaps a bit too subtly for the average pit bull user - but clearly, it is not the appearance, but the "character" that drives a pit bull to attack and kill other dogs, is it not?
Not to mention the fact that the featured image clearly wants us to judge based on superficial appearances. "look at the docile dog laying there, how could you even suspect it would attack?"
oooohhhh, great point jake^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Great post, dignitas. This take anthropomorphism to a disgusting extreme.
They want us to believe that pit bulls care, feel sorrow, shamed and humiliated because people dare judge them for their BEHAVIOR.
That pit bulls have heroism, aspirations and vision of a civil rights leader who was martyred, and indicated in the same speech, that he knew he might be martyred.
or that dog behavior indicates CHARACTER. yuck.
pitter people often , usually equate guts , courage and gameness with charachter. when this charachter results in a mauling then then pitters start in with the denials.
"my brindled beauty is so , so sweet
and wouldnt hurt a fly but he would defend me to the end" .
Pit bull owners often get these dogs for emotional reasons. Not surprising that they have a weird emotional relationship with their dogs where they project their feelings onto the dog and then try to take on some of what they think the dog feels. Weirdos.

I hope my niece's future dog never kills me.
That niece said,
“It’s such a tragedy because uncle Allan is someone we grew up with. This is a real definition of tragedy.”
That's a weird take on it. It's a tragedy because someone lost his life, and the death was preventable by making smart dog breed choices.
when a pitter dingbats tattooed boyfriend gets arrested and its takes five burly officers to subdue him, that's a good thing in the dingbats way of thinking . what a body guard my "jake" is ......dingbat thinks . too bad that in her frazzled imagination she cant foresee the future and her boyfriends strength and aggression used against her.
Makes the seeming want of a strong protector dog that is then endowed with human characteristics by the owner even more creepy. It seems like a surrogate bad boy boyfriend.
@DubV - the quote below from the news article was completely predictable as it's a standard component of every contemporary pit bull attack:
"The distraught owner of the dog, Erthney Abrahams, 46, said it had never attacked anyone before.'
Can you say "unpredictable"?
Anyone else have a gander at this one? I found it on the FFYR's website--you know, the individual who never met an apostrophe they didn't like.
I've started to feel a bit tacky picking on a person like FFYR--I have to wonder if I'm demeaning someone helpless, like a child--but when someone like FFYR posts (without irony) propaganda like this image, I say: Fuck em.
I can't cut-and-paste the image here, to see it, to go http://fight4yourights.blogspot.com/ and scroll down towards the bottom of the first post. You will see an image of a pit bull wearing an American Indian (probably Horse Culture but I'm not sure) headdress (which, I think, also has religious significance to the people)and the words "Pit bulls are not the first to face genocide in America!"
UNBELIEVABLE. Read 'Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee,' you fuck.
I posted this at "the uniquely talented.." post, but will add it here too, if that's ok, because it is an example of pit bull character.
Warning: non-pit is not killed or maimed (I don't think) but it is screaming, so some might not want to watch this attack.

it's okay if you post it under every blog post in this blog. i saw that too and i thought about blogging it but i got side tracked.
oh the "pits are cute" card, let's post all the photos we can find, of pits in all their glory has cute little beasts, yup, that proves that won't rip a limb off a grown adult, or kill a child! Yup, it sure proves pits walk around, shaking their dump truck shaped heads because some of their buddies are "bad apples" making them all look bad! Yup, this one photo proves all of that, thanks nutters!!! You guys is just so smart!!!
Not only that, Anne King, the twit puts several "find the pit bull" things up in which all breeds but apbts are considered "not pit bulls" then in the "pit bulls were cute family dogs" picture section, she includes dogs that look as if they very easily could be papered Boston terriers, boxers, terrier mixes, mutts and there is an unidentifiable puppy.
I read "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" and "Because of Romek" and slaves' accounts of slavery and to associate pit bulls with any humans in any way shape or form is beneath contempt.
All dogs today have more legal protections from cruel and abusive treatment than those human beings did during their respective times of exploitation, enslavement, persecution, abuse, degradation, torture and genocide.
So I agree with MM and say FUCK YOU to anyone who can't tell the difference between their fucking frankenmauler and a human being.
kinda stupid and unreasonable to expect normal non-fringe people to see mutants in the same light as a king charles spaniel or a lab or almost any other breed. this may be prejudice of a sort or just normal caution but does it matter? are people not allowed to avoid potentially harmfull animals and people . for the sake of not hurting some fucking nutters feelings i am supposed to act like their mutants are really lap dogs ? how unfair and unrealistic .
This is going wayyy too far. I've blogged this and started to try and get the anti-racism community involved in covering this. PETA doesn't get a free pass, neither should these assholes.
There's no contradiction
When you judge all dogs on what some dog's do it's wrong period. Like I,ve said before Im all for regulating who can own them & punishing the guilty but what I dont agree on is laws that take well behaved dogs away from responsible owners. And @ Dub V that video shows a guy with his dog on a leash and a unregistered unleashed dog who i would guess came after him. I doubt he chased the stray down with his leashed dog in the middle of the street but you dont mention that so I guess if your a pitbull you should just let unleashed dogs attack you.
I dont condone any type of animal abuse and never have.
the entire concept of breeding dogs is an exercise in eugenics, breeding dogs is done for the sole purpose of judging them, LITERALLY! you can't grasp that fact, why?
we agree at least that it is wrong to seize well behaved dogs from responsible owners. however a loose pit bull should be a dead pit bull and its owner should join the felon club.
Dawn
Believe it or not we agree on two things with the amount of dogs in shelters there is no reason any dogs should be breeding right now. Both of my dogs are fixed & both are well behaved and have their own big fenced in yard to romp around in. Thanks for being in agreement about responsibly owned dogs.
