I believe that the media is and will always be our biggest enemy. Although alot of time we provide them with the ammo, the fact that media is able to in my opinion fabricate statistics that protray the dog, especially the pitbull as some devil crazy animal. The propaganda and celebrity base they use makes it easy for them to influence the major of society.

Most dog people will agree that we should stand up for our chosen breed, but history has proven time and time again there is strength in numbers. We as dog owners will never out number the masses. So try as hard as we might, our voice will always fall on deaf ears. IMHO, in order for a breed to keep surviving it has to disappear from society eyes.

If we don't give them the ammo (i.e., dog biting incidence, poor/inproper care, the egos) then we can continue to enjoy our breed. When they do have to have a light shine on them try to make it a positive light. Support your local clubs, get involved in fighting BSL, contribute to the organizations that help fight against the BSL, and clean up home first and foremost.
