Pit bull owners ::
Studies show that pit bull owners employ strategies to disguise the true nature of the breed by engaging in distortions, denial, overcompensation and projecting blame after biting incidents.
Not normal dog owners
To understand the experience of owning a negatively perceived dog, Tufts Center for Animals and Public Policy did a case study on pit bull owners that was published in 2000. Researchers found that with "outlaw" breeds, such as pit bulls, the human-dog relationship is sociologically more complex than previously known. Owners of pit bulls, they discovered, directly feel the stigma targeted at their breed and resort to various tactics to mitigate it. These strategies included:"passing their dogs as breeds other than pit bulls, denying that their behavior is biologically determined, debunking adverse media coverage, using humor, emphasizing counter-stereotypical behavior, avoiding stereotypical equipment or accessories, taking preventive measures, or becoming breed ambassadors."
Breed ambassadors
According to the Tufts study, the most public way in which pit bull owners managed breed stigma was to become a fierce advocate for the breed. These owners seek to "educate" the public -- often through their own well-behaved pets -- by discounting stereotypes and promoting the finer qualities of the breed. For instance, to help deflect the fear that pit bulls incite about children, one respondent kept a photo handy that showed three children rubbing her pit bull's tummy.
Examples of breed ambassador imagery is easily found on the Internet, such as the YouTube video, "Pit Bull Viciously Attacks Child," which depicts happy babies lying near pit bulls. Some breed ambassadors, however, take activism of the "Pit Bull Cause" to reckless levels. Despite warnings from pit bull experts to "avoid dog parks at all costs," such persons purposely visit dog parks to show other dog owners that pit bulls are safe, reliable dogs that are merely "misunderstood."
Breed ambassadors are also the most common pit bull advocates to appear at public hearings determining whether or not a city should adopt a pit bull law. A common tactic is to present their dog as a "therapy" dog (which is not a "service" dog) that cuddles with senior citizens in rest homes. In a famous example of a trained "therapy" pit bull reverting back to genetic pit bull animal-aggression, Anna Klafter's pit bull, Nettie, unleashed an attack upon a mounted police horse.
Sergeant David Herrera was bucked off in the 2003 incident and suffered neck and back injuries. Klafter suffered a fractured skull after the horse kicked her in the face. At the time, Klafter had been trying to gain control of her "extensively trained" animal assisted therapy dog. Klafter had adopted the dog from the San Francisco SPCA, where she also volunteered as a dog trainer. The horse, AAA Andy, was bitten in the legs and belly and never worked another day of service duty.

Naravno da imam svoje misljenje. A to sto je "informacija od pre 200 godina" ne znaci da je zastarela. Vlasnici pit-bulova zele lazno da prikazu svoje pse kao umiljate maze.These owners seek to "educate" the public -- often through their own well-behaved pets -- by discounting stereotypes and promoting the finer qualities of the breed. For instance, to help deflect the fear that pit bulls incite about children, one respondent kept a photo handy that showed three children rubbing her pit bull's tummy.
Što se u tvom slučaju pokazuje kao sizifov posao....
Imaš li ti neko svoje mišljenje ili samo copy - paste informacije od pre 200 godina?

Ma dajte ljudi. Pas je životinja sa karakterom, i vremenom dobija karakter svog vlasnika. Kakav vlasnik, takav pas.
Lično smatram da su bulterijeri ružni i ne bih nikad držao jednog ali uzimati da je životinja zla sama po sebi je predrasuda.

Ni kobra nije zla sama po sebi, ali nikada ne bih držao kobru kao ljubimca, a bio bih i podozriv prema ljudima koji ih drže. Kad čujem od vlasnika da se hvali kako je njgov pas ubica, zver, poidao bi, udavio bi i slično, ne zanima me rasa njegovog psa, vlasnika je opasan, treba da bude registrovan da nosi korpu, da plaća taksu.
Nije bez zanačaja što ljudi određene psihologije preferiraju neku konkretnu rasu, zbog njenih karakterističnih osobina, opet, nije problem u rasi pasa, problem je u karakteru čoveka.

Imaš li ti neki dokaz za tu tvrdnju?
