The flaws in modern pit bull advocacy
Its true. The dogs that are victims of BSL (breed specific legislation), regardless of how it is we label them, need advocacy to protect them. However, the method by which the vast majority of advocates use may be counterproductive to their end goal. The method these people use has to do with people representing their dogs as sweet, cuddly, family pets - dogs that they call pit bulls or “pibbles”. They dub them as nanny dogs and portray them as their babies. While this may sound like a plausible way to melt the hearts of hardened people who just want to ban all bully breeds, all it does is create misconceptions surrounded around the American Pit Bull Terrier. And yes, it may sound like an innocent attempt at ending breed stereotypes, but this agenda unintentionally fuels high bite statistics, fosters irresponsible ownership, spreads misinformation, endangers the American Pit Bull Terrier and puts dogs that are not American Pit Bull Terriers at a heightened risk of being taken away. Let’s talk about mislabeling.
Often times you will hear pit bull advocates say that “pit bull” is not a breed, but an umbrella term that encompasses many breeds and types of dogs. When you use the term pit bull as a descriptor of any dog that fits a certain, predetermined phenotype (usually a blocky head, floppy ears, stocky build) you create the idea that nearly any dog in the bully breed family is a pit bull. This means there is a huge number of “pit bulls” and a proportionate number of attacks for the media to cover. Unless you treat the pit bulls as a single breed (the American Pit Bull Terrier), their bite statistics will always be higher. The more dogs of a type there are, the more attacks there will be.
Some commonly mislabeled dogs are:
-Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, XL American Bully, American Bulldog, Pocket American Bully, or a Mutt.
Another thing cited frequently is the idea that pit bulls are nanny dogs. Aside from being untrue (Pit bulls were never called nanny dogs and that was never their purpose) this concept can promote irresponsible ownership and yes, dog bites. Responsible dog owners know that trusting a dog around young children is a recipe for disaster. Small children have little or no boundaries or self control. They will tug on tails, pull on ears, play with jowls and poke at eyes. As a result of this behavior, a dog can be provoked to bite or snap. People will then report it as unprovoked or “out of nowhere”, because often times the signs of stress are subtle and unclear to a little kid. Fostering the notion of nanny dogs is only promoting irresponsibility and attacks.
Luckily, many pit bull advocacy groups are recognizing that pit bulls are not nanny dogs. It’s not too late to accept this. The myth comes from Lillian Rant, who quoted the Staffordshire Bull Terrier as the “nursemaid dog” in a New York Times article in 1971. She was president of the SBT club of America at the time. She made that up to better the image of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which was viewed as a fighting dog.
If you’re advocating for pit bulls, you inherently are advocating for the APBT. When pit bull advocates describe the breed as cuddly fur-babies that thrive off of attention and snuggles, it makes the owners of true working APBT’s appear to be neglecting their outdoor dogs. The American Pit Bull Terrier is an extremely driven dog. True APBT’s are dog aggressive and likely to carry a genetic propensity for gameness. Advocating that these dogs just want to be family pets will either:
-Put them in the wrong hands of people who suspect their dog will be a calm pet with a kind demeanor towards everything (improper management of any high drive dog can lead to bites)
- Paint responsible APBT owners (who condition their dogs & work them) as abusive people and possibly lead them to get their dogs taken.
EDUCATED ADVOCACY IS KEY!!
Ultimately, today’s pit bull advocates have their hearts in the right place. But unfortunately, the modern methods they use are more harmful than they are helpful.
GOOD 👏 FUCKING 👏 POST
Denying the realities of pits and their history does no one any favours. This perfectly explains why.
The APBT was bread for aggression, there’s no real way around it. Bull baiting and dog fighting are aggressive acts, and only the strongest and most aggressive go on to breed. Pits, who are closest to their fighting routes, have a higher genetic propensity to be reinforced by aggressive behaviour. Any dog with teeth can bite.

My friend said she’s letting her weed jar sit out under the virgo full moon tonight so it can soak up its energy and that tomorrow we’ll smoke a joint of it together. I love mentally ill women…
high as hell and im thinking about ehat if there was a meme going around that was just posting this picture under people's posts
captioned "i drinked you" and people would freak out and all the tags would be like "GET DRINKED" "IDIOT GOT DRINKED" tha k you for coming to my teddy talky
this is definitely a faked post but tumblrs still going to make this a meme,,, i drinked you
wtf does faked post even mean in this context. op just said they had a thought and described the thought they had. thats how thinking works
dont think op was ‘high as hell’ when they thought it tho. typos seem exaggerated and also the general tendency of these types of memes is that someone sees it in a dream, and being high whilst thinking of a meme is sorta the logical extension of that
i drinked you
The mcu franchise exists to convey the concept of “greater good” as an evil lie peddled by supervillains because the only way to ensure freedom is to shrug and let massive suffering happen so that a few people can own yachts
According to the MCU the only ways to cause great change in the society you live in are to blow up skyscrapers in populated city centers or run for office in your local government but also btw terrorism doesn’t work so make sure you’re working through the proper channels. Meanwhile the entire crux of the genre is that the main characters have superhuman abilities to effect change in the world around them.
People will indulge heavily in media about super-powered vigilantes working outside the law to serve justice because the system isn’t designed to adequately protect its people and then not see the irony in those same vigilantes condescending to the villains about doing illegal things to bring about greater change.
Remember this lol
sending love out tonight to everyone who is progressively losing their abilities, whether that's movement, ability to walk, eyesight, or hearing.
it's hard to come to terms with the fact that you can't do things that you used to be able to do. I'll be honest, it feels like you're losing control of your life. it can feel very isolating and hopeless. its scary and overwhelming, and it's so hard to deal with.
you are not less than just because you can do less. im proud of you for still being here, and i wish you ease with adjusting to new ways of life. please take care of yourself, i love you.
gentle addition for the folks who are losing their mental capacity in any way, shape, or form. If you can’t think as clearly as you used to, if you don’t have the executive functioning you once had, if your memory is getting worse, if your sensory processing issues are increasing, if your episodes are becoming more frequent. Your life has inherent value and I hope I can help remind you of that.
you may notice i use the phrase "my beloved" frequently. this is because i am in love with the world and everything in it. hope this clears things up <3
girl help the pessimists found me
"girl help i am staunchly refusing to realise my own naivete in a world almost completely made up of things that couldnt care less about me or are actively exploiting me"
amogus baby owner tips
• amogus babies are called BABIES for a reason. they may play bite or pee inside. don't scream at your amogus baby for ACTING LIKE A BABY. instead, train it properly.
• you should not crate your amogus baby for more than an hour. it will start chewing the crate and going crazy.
• ALWAYS KEEP WINDOWS OPEN WHEN LEAVING YOUR AMOGUS BABY IN THE CAR. even with air conditioning they could suffocate on a hot day without outside air.
• keep your amogus baby indoors unless it's on a leash or a fenced in area. amogus babies are responsible for the extinction of multiple species.
• DO NOT LEAVE MALE AND FEMALE AMOGUS BABIES ALONE TOGETHER. they WILL breed.
• some landlords ban amogus babies. make sure to check if this is true before renting a residence. remember that if amogus babies are banned, you can always train them to maim the landlord.
