Everyone says that #PitBulls get a bad rap. That it's not the #breed's fault that it's the #owners fault who #train them to be #aggressive and #vicious.
That may all be true.
Cihuahuas are pretty fucking aggressive. Daschunds are literally bred to fight badgers.
So tell me... when's the last time you heard of a Chihuahua or Daschund that killed its owner and kept police and paramedics from responding?
Hell, what about #BullMastiffs even?
It's because you never have. And yet, pit bulls ... right or wrong ... get all the headlines.

At the weekend I made a considered decision to join a silent, peaceful, sitting protest in Cardiff, in support of the campaign to de-proscribe Palestine Action. Most of you will be aware that this protest group was recently proscribed under the Terrorism Act, despite being non-violent. Members have been accused of damaging property (in Britain) which is involved in Israel's genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Similar peaceful protests took place in London and Manchester. The police responses were different and in South Wales were much more draconian than elsewhere. I was held for over 30 hours and am now bailed on condition I do not stay away from home overnight, till October. Or go to Cardiff. Plus other things. Our house - and Alan in it - was raided by police at 3.00 am while I was still in a police cell.
My decision to protest was made primarily in defense of the right to protest, especially about Gaza . I knew that the Terrorism Act was powerful and punitive and I believed - and still believe - that using it against a non-violent protest group was a chilling step in the wrong direction. Hence the campaign to de-proscribe it. This is legal.
