We are the Majority

Revised 
The Animal Farm Foundation started an "I am the majority project" in which people download a poster from Animal Farm Foundation, insert their profession or contribution to society such as 'grandma' or "volunteer' and then photograph themselves holding their poster with their pit.

The project has gotten a LOT of contributions!  Nutters LOVE it!  The AFF made a little video highlighting just a few of the photos that were sent in.  It takes 2 seconds to realize that one unspoken thing they want you to know is that there are WHITE pit bull owners!  heavens!  I started counting the white, brown, and black faces.  The first non-white face appears 12 photos in.  I got bored after I'd counted 60 white faces, 5 brown faces, and 6 black faces.

The second thing you realize after looking at their video is they show lot's of teachers, fire fighters, police officers, engineers, nurses and chiropractors.  Oddly, I saw no pole dancers, repo men or bartenders among the photos even though many of those people are nice, fine, and upstanding citizens, too.  And I'm betting there's no shortage of pit bull owning repo men or bartenders. They say teacher is the number one profession listed among the responses.

So, they don't want you to stop thinking in stereotypes.  They simply want you to think about the positive stereotypes associated with some professions and some skin colors instead of the negative associations people have about pit bull owners.  Associations such as that idea that criminals and other deviants are more likely to be attracted to pit bulls and other dangerous dogs - which happens to be true and to have been described in a peer reviewed study.

Funny thing is just because the stereotype of teachers is that they are kind, intelligent, and helpful people, that doesn't mean they all are.  When you google "teacher convicted" you get about 10 pages of results, and I bet you won't need two guesses to come up with the number one crime they're convicted of.  Yeah, sex crimes.  And it is no surprise that googling "police officer convicted" gives up a mountain of results.

Being a teacher doesn't lead you to own a pit bull.  Embracing deviance from the norm to some degree leads you to own a pit bull.  You might merely feel you don't adhere to stereotypes held by most people (the norm) and since you're not a sheep, you embrace pit bulls because you like to "think outside the box" (deviate from the norm).  But people who are just straight up, hardcore, illegal deviants from all socially acceptable behavior  ALSO love their pit bulls  - big time.

And those hardcore deviants go into all kinds of professional fields, including the "helping" professions, for all kinds of reasons.

Take Kim DiPrima, special education public school teacher, for example.  DiPrima was convicted of second degree manslaughter in 2009 after her pit bulls, Popeye and Brutus, entered her neighbor's yard and mauled 90 year old veteran and retired crane operator, Henry Piotrowski, so badly that he eventually died.

She got 5 years probation and continued teaching until she was later charged with second-degree attempted murder, second- and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree reckless endangerment for another fracas involving a felon ex boy toy and gunfire. Read a good write up about all the felons involved here.

There are fine upstanding bartenders and pole dancers and there are deviant teachers and policemen.  There are honest, hardworking, and good people who become pit bull owners because they want to give pit bulls a chance and are assured that pit bulls get a bad rap.  And there are majorly deviant pit bull owners

Some upstanding people who own pit bulls are lucky and no living thing is ever hurt by their pit bull.  Some fine, upstanding people who own pit bulls quickly get rid of them at the first hint that the pit bull's genes are expressing themselves.   Some upstanding pit bull owners don't get a warning and experience the gruesome loss of a loved one to a pit bull attack.  Many, many deviant pit bull owners wreak mayhem, havoc, maiming and death on entire neighborhoods with their pit bulls because they just don't care unless it affect them.

The fundamental truth is this: Pit bulls maul, maim and kill more people than all other kinds of dogs combined.  They kill literally tens of thousands of pets and livestock animals every year.  So, if you, your family, or your animals have been attacked by a pit bull, you are the majority.

looks like a pittie to me

49 yr old SHERYL SELLERS of Mountain Ranch, CA with one of her nanny dogs that will only lick you to death.

mountain ranch, california

SHERYL SELLERS' two frankenmaulers killed 69 yr old Jerry Yates. and the pit nutters are already circling the that's not a real pit bull wagons. the media bias wagons will kick in tomorrow. meanwhile SELLERS has been charged for allowing vicious dogs to roam.

what do you think KAREN? does this look like one of those chained, neglected RESIDENT dogs?

UPDATE: both of the dogs are dirt napping. i've seen them and this white with brown spots puppy isn't one of them. and by the way, pit bulls are not so ugly when wrapped in black plastic.

babemagical CHRISTY BARLOW of walls, mississippi writes to dogsbite.org:

"It being unsaid here, but the gentleman died of a heart attack. He could of died of a heart attack if a racoon was attacking him. The only thing most are hearing is "pitbull". The owner is responsible for how these dogs are raised. Period. Just like parents are responsible for how their children are raised. Just as the saying goes, "some people just do not need to have children", the same thing can be said about pitbulls. Don't blame the breed."

(poor christy, in her pit nutter frenzy to redirect the blame to hypothetical raccoons, she apparently missed the memo that states that i am now fielding dogsbite.org's nasty comments.)

BRENT TOELLNER writes from his pit nutter pulpit:

"Yesterday, news broke about a tragic incident in Memphis where a 71 year old man was attacked by two dogs. The man's daughter came to his aid and was also bitten and during the attack and the man, William Parker, had cardiac arrest during the attack and later died at the hospital.

The Associated Press picked up the first story released after the attack -- which was picked up by nearly 200 media outlets across the country with the headline: "Tennessee Pit Bull Attacks Leave Elderly Man Dead."

Of course, the story was far from complete -- and the headline not even completely accurate. It sure SOUNDS like the 'pit bulls' killed the man, but at the present time, there seems to be a lot of doubt as to the man's actual cause of death (which could have been from the heart attack he suffered). All of the man's injuries appear to be on his lower legs. One news station even failed to mention the man going into cardiac arrest altogether."

KCBLOWHARD and CHRISTY BARLOW are obsessed with finding an alternative cause of death other than licked to death by a wiggle butt. and what's with this nonsense minimizing bites to the legs? in august 2008, a pit bull bit a healthy 35 yr old detroit man in the calf, Robert Howard died almost instantly. but back to CHRISTY'S and BRENT'S original witch hunt... according to YOUR dog bite expert, KAREN DELISE, you remember KAREN, the one that you and all of pitnutterville line up to worship and regularly lick the boots of, the death of William Parker does indeed count as a dog bite fatality. please see page 91 of Fatal Dog Attacks The Stories Behind the Statistics

Definition: Fatal Dog Attack

This study defines a dog bite fatality as trauma inflicted by a dog bite that results in the death of the victim. This includes:

• Bite injuries inflicted by a dog(s) that resulted in the immediate death of the individual.

• Injuries that were in and of themselves life threatening but, due to medical intervention, the victim's life was prolonged (for days, months, years) until the individual succumbed from injuries originally or secondarily inflicted from trauma due to the dog bite. Although medically these deaths may be attributed to organ failure or massive infection, the causative agent was traumatic injury from dog bite.

• Death from heart attack while being attacked and bitten by a dog. Although the bite itself may not have been injurious enough to cause death, the accompanying stress and trauma at the time of the attack caused immediate heart failure and death.

a while back KAREN DELISE accused me of not reading her books.

au contraire mon frère, i think that i might be one of the few who have read your books and that website that your master JANE BERKEY owns too. ;)

i leave you nutters with a quote that your idol likes:

'Ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.” Mark Twain

pit bull victim

a 2 month old infant was found was on the living room floor - decapitated. "The dog was destroyed and examination of the gastric contents revealed multiple fragments of bone, skin and soft tissue, the nose, 1 globe, and both ears of the infant." the infant's face was reconstructed with the recovered parts.
