Verizon Wireless talks to the press about comments on their commercial and this is my response
Visit http://adage.com/article?article_id=129799 to read the scoop. Don’t forget to read the comments about the article. They should really ruffle your feathers!!!! Mindless whiney people thinking that Pit Bulls are vicious, again, playing into the hands of the ignorant! Especially the one who was attacked by a pit bull. I was attacked by 2 trained German Shephard dogs when I was 6 years old. Even at that young age I knew it wasn’t the fault of the dogs but the fault of the owner. This victim claims that the dog that attacked her was owned by a nurse and not trained to attack! BULL CRAP!!! That dog was probably not socialized or given the attention that a dog needs; or even abused. ANY dog will turn mean if not properly socialized or abused! The “nurse” appearantly lived alone so the dog was left alone 90% of the time. NOT SOCIALIZED!!!!!! Stop whining and blaming the breed. I’m sick to death of hearing about Pit Bulls being vicious and mean when it ALWAYS boils down to how it was raised!!!!!!!
I have saved thousands of pit bulls and I know guys who bust up Pit Bull fighting rings WEEKLY and I nor any of them have EVER been bit by a Pit Bull! I’ve been bitten by cats, wildlife, gerbils, hamsters, birds, chihuahuas, pomeranians, and other small breed dogs but I have NEVER been bitten by a Pit Bull. My best friend was but that was because she was breaking up a dog fight (2 rescued dogs) and hit the pit bull over the head with a cast iron skillet! She ended up calling me to help break the dogs up and I never got bit!
I deal with thousands of people on a daily basis who have rescued pit bulls whom have NEVER been bitten!!!! So this garbage the press is trying to pass off as proof of Pit Bull aggression is full of dog piss!
The dogs being pit bulls are not the only issue that is raised in the concerns of the commercial, but also the fact that the commercial shows the dogs chained with no food, water or shelter. Verizon Wireless wishes us to believe that the commercial is “fake” or “fantasy” but there is nothing “fake” or “fantasy about chained dogs. Dogs Deserve Better works very hard to educate people about chained and penned dogs. Fact is that a chained or penned dog is 100% more likely to bite a child or turn on people due to lack of socializing. This is a FACT, not fiction or fantasy!
Also, look at the statistics about pit bull attacks. Better yet, I’ll make it easy for you! Here are the statistics, the FACTS:
Those are the hard cold facts about pit bulls. If you can’t deal with it then BACK OFF THE BREED!!!!!! If you can’t handle the truth about chained dogs the BACK OFF those of us who truly wish to make a difference!
