Pit Bull Owners Show Their Support

Feb 20, 2012 by Mandie

This amazing video was put together by the Humane Society for Hamilton County in celebration of their upcoming pit bull education month festivities – including the “Parade-a-Bull“.

Kudos to the proud pit bull owners from all walks of life showing their support for the breed they love including a police officer, fire chief, pediatrician, pastor, humane society director and sportscaster.

 

 

A few favorite quotes from the video:

“A combination of myths, biased media reporting, exploitation of these dogs by criminals and irreponsible pet owners, has created an inaccurate stereotype of the breed and also the people who own and love them.”

“The American Pit Bull Terrier, a dog that has played an important role in american culture and history for over 200 years before falling victim to those who would use their strength and loyalty against them.”
