“Whoever controls the media, controls the people,” – Jim Morrison.
Has anyone ever dropped the “Pit Bull” bomb on you?
“Help, I lost my dog. He’s about a 60 pound pit bull,” or “When you come over later make sure to ignore my pit bull so he gets use to you. And keep your hands at your side.”
A normal mental reaction might be something like this: “KJHDKJSHDKJAS,” or “NO, I am not losing a hand today.”
Why do most people immediately presume there is danger when coming into contact with a pit bull? The answer is the media.
The media dictates who, what, when and why we think or react to certain topics. When the media turned to the reputation of pit bulls, America followed suit.

The Truth About Pitbulls
Before the 1980’s, America loved pit bulls. However, the media turned society against the breed by publicizing only pit bull dog attacks or incidents. Now, America views pit bulls as one of the most fearsome dogs. There have been multiple bans and restraints on pit bulls across the nation.
According to the Mother Nature Network, mmn.com, the Maryland Court of Appeals declared that pit bulls are “inherently dangerous”.
This rule gives legal action to anyone attacked by a pit bull or pit bull mix. In other words, it is no longer necessary to prove that a pit bull is dangerous. If there is an attack with a pit bull involved, the pit bull is immediately deemed dangerous and must be eliminated from the premises. In reality, there is no generic evident at all that pit bulls are a more dangerous breed than other dog breeds. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled in favor of the breed.
