Hmmmmm, maybe Jadapit's pitties can come over to your house and smother your family with kisses - that oughta at least make a dent in their attitude!

Pit Bulls are the real victems, in every sence.
You have to understand how emotionally sensitive these dogs are. Their incredible capasity for love and trust and understanding. But these dogs have been through hell and back. They have people who believe the crap the media puts out and then tie them to a chain, fight them, beat them, starve them, burn them, and some STILL find the courage to love a kind human. They are literally driven to insanity. When a few finally can't take it any longer and lash out in what they percieve as self deffense, the whole breed is blamed. What about the @$$wh01es who skrewed them up it the first place, huh? And then theirs the pitties who were lucky enough to be raised by a loving family, who are truly heroes. If we don't stop it, the whole world will soon have banned them. Even if they are lucky to live away from it they still get the crap from people on the streets.

My parents are the same way, no matter how many times I have told them otherwise about pitbulls, they still think they live to attack children on the streets. They spent around 5 years or so living in a big city where there were reports of dog attacks atleast everyweek (so they say). They have got it stuck in their minds that they are vicious animals.
If I ever get the chance to introduce them to a real pitbull, I certainly won't pass it up. I'm determined to do my best to change their minds.

My dad is very open-minded about pitbulls. He won't judge a breed because of what media say. But my mother is a totally different story. If I want to show her something about pitbulls, she'll get all mad and say "NO! How can you even like to look at those things!". She calls them monsters and eating-machines. I really can't blame her because of what media says/does. I asked her if I wound up getting a pitbull and needed someone to watch it, she wouldn't! You don't even know how mad I was. But I'm going to keep trying with her no matter what. The only thing I have really realized from this situtatuion is that media has a huge impact on peoples lives. Danielle, just keep trying. I wish you lots of luck!

very well put! great video too!


my parents were against anything about the breed. they told me to never go near one and they were pretty much the same way about pits as your parents are. then came Juicy! if you remember Juicy was a pit bull/staffie mix that we pretty much adopted. he was so sweet both my parents think compleatly different about the dogs. my parents have taken a huge step with dogs in the past year. they have coem from thinking dogs are disposable to dogs are totally part of the family and love them forever. good luck with helping your parents get passed the attack and understand it's not the breed, it's the deed!

Thank you! I plan to show my parents that video. I'll keep trying no matter how long it takes. And when I get older, maybe I'll adopt a pittie and show them how sweet they are!
