(84,711 posts)This snip might be some of what I was trying to express. I'm a cat owner...but, had dogs growing up. I just see so much Pit Bull Hate posted on DU that it got OTT for me.
So...I spoke out.
This snip from Salon you posted is interesting:
So when Matt Drudge hypes stories of packs of black youths rampaging in Americas streets, hes rightly called out for race-baiting. But when sex advice columnist Dan Savage, who writes numerous posts about pit bulls behaving badly with titles like, Pit Bulls Should be Boiled Alive like Lobsters and Fed to Their Idiot Owners, and compares these domesticated canines with wild tigers, hes doing the exact same thing as Drudge. (Worse, Savage doesnt appear to make any effort to confirm that the dogs implicated in the stories he promotes are actually pit bulls.)
