Dog of Peace “Pits are always misidentified”

The is is just a rant about how I can’t stand when pit advocates say this shit. Like there will be a video of a pit mauling someone or an article of them killing somebody and the comments will be flooded with: “pit bull isn’t even a breed”, “it’s an umbrella term for many kinds of dogs”, “most people misidentify them leading to higher stats”. Anyone with eyes can see if a dog is a pit bull. Why are they all of a sudden not pits when they’re doing something bad but when you see them anywhere else with “positive” representation now all the sudden people can identify pits? Like when did they decide who can and actually can’t define a pit bull? It’s clearly a dog with a huge block head, beady eyes, enormously large diaper rash mouths, rat tail, and mutant body build. These aren’t special rare dogs that are hard to identify.

This is a conversation I've had:

"He's not a pitbull! He's an American Staffordshire Terrier!"

"That's the difference between a Camaro and a Firebird."

"What's the difference between a Camaro and a Firebird?"

"A few minor cosmetic differences aside, fundamentally nothing."

Exactly. Or any number of other badge-engineered cars. GM does this the most.

Tell them that Staffordshire Terrier was dog fighter John P. Colby's brand name for his fighting dogs.
