The problem is not that the populace needs to be educated about these dogs. THe problem is that as people become educated about these dogs, they no longer want to accept the medical, legal, and lethal aspects of pit bulls.
When you can prove that the documented deaths and maimings are not happening, that pit bulls are not actually leading the dogbite death toll, then you’d really have something to share. I care about deaths/dismemberments and you care about public relations.
Pit Bulls require discipline, attention and affection. I’ve always advocated responsible ownership. I’ll wager 99.9% of the sensationalized stories in the newspapers(and here) were dogs raised out of negligence and the wrong situation and owner. I can’t provide stats for that, but I will say this, if those animals belonged to me, you never would have heard about them.
