OCTOBER IS PIT BULL AWARENESS MONTH!!!

Established in 2007 by Jodi Preis of Bless the Bully's, a non-profit rescue and education effort in Tennessee, National Pit Bull Awareness Day has become a nationwide effort to bring positive awareness, education and attention to the Pit Bull breed. The ASPCA is one of many organizations that supports National Pit Bull Awareness Day, which is October 26th.
The ultimate goal of National Pit Bull Awareness Day is to promote the truth about pit bulls. Knowledge is power, and with education and advocacy, the truth will save lives in terms of negating the fear and bias generated by the media, circumvent knee-jerk reactions such as breed bans, and the truth will result in fewer pit bulls ending up in animal shelters.
Pit Bulls were known as 'nanny dogs' in the early 1900's as they were protective and took care of their families children. Since then they have been used as police dogs, war heroes, therapy dogs and service dogs.
Pit bulls, and pit bull mixes, are at the very core of breed specific legislation, discrimination, and negative bias among the nation’s media and government. Despite continued efforts by supporters, much of the general public is overwhelmingly misinformed about the breed.
Anyone who is or has been an owner of the breed will tell you that they are loving, loyal and a huge part of their families. Unfortunately the misinformed public doesn't see the breed in this way. Pit bulls are banned from many counties, communities, airlines, parks and dog-friendly restaurants.
To raise awareness, the founder of National Pit Bull Awareness Day has said:
'While we can’t all be on television educating about our dogs, we all can make a difference in our own way. We all can and should play a part in correcting false information and changing the perception of these incredible dogs. We are their voice, and they are depending on us to educate the public (not only about the breed in general, but with respect to responsible ownership practices), to dispel the false information out there, and to restore their reputation as a great American icon. Leading by example is a great place to start!'
