Incident 3: After some bad publicity (abused pit bulls lashing out like they'd been forced to since puppies) and bad reactions from pit bull owners all over the local papers (bully breed enthusiasts ridiculing people's fear, blaming victim's for attacks, and inadvertantly encouraging the bad rep of pits) the end result is that the county shelter now will not adopt out any dog that looks like it has a drop of pit bull blood in it. Any dog suspecting of having any of the bully breed blood in it is doomed should it find its way to the shelter. The safe haven I brought Koosty home to is slowly becoming as dangerous from him as the place we ran away from.

I know this is long winded, but I just wanted to explain why I react so strongly and in such an over-bearing way when I see people trying to protect pits in ways that seem to be counter-productive. I don't mean to step on toes, it has simply become a passion that I can understand from both sides.
