Mary-Lou Proctor :
Its about time the real truth about American Pitbull Terriers came out.
This beautiful intellignet breed of dog has been abused for generations,
and that abuse has been glorified by the media and caused chaos for these
poor animals. They are now hated and treated with anger and abuse by the
general public. How about we show the truth, how pits really act when they
are owned by loving caring respectful owners.
Its about time we deal with these issues.

Rhiannon Scriven :
The need for a segment such as this has reached critical proportions.
Breed specific legistlation is threatening to make this lovable,
kid-friendly, loyal dog extinct or worse, pushed underground. The right
owners need the opportunity to show the public what this breed is about.
It was gallant and brave enough to fight in wars with us and protect our
forefathers homesteads, it should be our right to share our houses and
hearts with this same dog too! The long, proud, and sometimes false truth
about these majestic animals needs to be clarified for the world! FOX is
the avenue that could get this enormous task done AND done well! |

Some one needs to help stop this breed from becoming extinct because of
peoples ignorance and negative media about them. |

Joshua Wayne :
I've grown up with putbulls since I was born. I have never seen any of
mine or my family's hurt anyone. They are strong minded, big hearted
caring animals that are great with kids and families. They are the most
intelligent, intuitive breed there is and they pick up their owner's
personality so well. No doubt about it, they are the world's best
dog!!! People in this country need to see what they really are...not what
some ignorant people make them be. People in this country kill other
people, but we aren't euthenizing them just because their brothers and
sisters have done bad things. People need to know the truth! |

I've just recently been introduced to pitbulls within the last year.
I've always had reservations about dogs in general. After my husband
and I got our two, I don't think I could go back to life without them.
They are great with our 18month old son and have never even growled at
anyone. A TV segment on how they really are would do our country good. We
can't put laws in place against a breed just because of a few bad
apples. Please show America the truth. |

Leigha :
To Fox TV: Please kindly take intrest in to our voices and let them be
heard....do an investigation on responsible pit bull owners and see for
yourself how wonderful of a breed it is and has always been. The rap these
"bully" dogs have is ridiculous...if you look at statistics you
will see that the #1 dog in highest amount of bites in the US yearly is
LABS..not pits! I'm so sick of the reputation these dogs have. Look at
Detroit-even if the humane society finds a wonderful, sweet puppy...if
it's a pit? It gets put to sleep immediately. We need to take action by
having it a law to spay and neuter these dogs to prevent overpopulation
instead of just euthanising each and every APBT. Please fox...hear our
pleas and do a segment on them. It's controversial as well as eye
opening, isn't this what you do segmenets about? Controversial stuff?
Then I ask of you to do one for the APBT's of america who are family
dogs. |

Natalie Stollings :
I would love to see a segment on the many positive traits of the APBT to
educate the closed minded people in our nation. Also, I feel that it is
important to see the abuse this breed endures through people who own them
to exploit them. Also to look into ways we, as responsible people, can
report cases of animal cruelty and dog fighting rings so we can make an
attempt at ridding this country of the money hungry owners who have caused
so many problems for the responsible APBT owners. |

Rhonda Haile :
In the beginning the APBT was bred to be human-kind and for a working dog.
It was man who put the fighting into the dog. We are now changing this with
selective breeding for even temperment dogs, that are once again human
friendly. Why punish a breed of dog for the actions of man. The APBT is one
of the most loyal and couragous of the canine family. As Owners and
Breeders we are responsible to bring out the best of the breed. And we are.
Check out the UKC conformation shows and the weight pulls. Talk to people
who have had and presently have the privilage of having these wonderful
dogs in their family. I have raised dogs for over 25 years, and the APBT
rates up at the highest for loyalty and companionship. |

Abigail Carvin :
BSL's are just plain wrong. Think of all the great dogs that would
never have existed if people had outlawed the APBT. Pete the Pup from the
Little Rascals, Stubby, the most decorated american war dog of all time,
Weela, the Ken-L rations winner of 1993. If it weren't for her 30
people, 29 dogs, 13 horses, and a cat would have died during flooding in
California. These are only a few of the great dogs we would be losing if
the truth about the breed does not get out there. Lets get back to the
attitude America had during WWI when the APBT was used to represent America
in many propaganda posters. |

I don't know what I would do without my pit. He's the joy of my
day, and is just the biggest love bug! My little brother just pulls on his
tail and beats him up and he just does not care. He gives him kisses in
return. I hate that they have such a bad name..it's not their fault,
it's their owner's fault! |

That would be great if they did a special on the Pit Bull for what it
really is. It's the most loyal dog out there. All it wants to do is
please its owner and be happy.Just like anything else in this world, if you
put something in the wrong hands it can be dangerous. Alot of people dont
even know what a true pitbull is and how they are. They just use their
ignorance of not knowing and let others persuade their opinions.It's
sad that everyone blames the PitBull for everything bad. It would be like
taking a loved from the ones who own these wonderful dogs. So lets show the
world what they are really about! True love! God Bless! |

the pitbull is very misunderstude. i was a victom of this propaganda for
years and i now know they are not the viscous killers they are made out to
be. they are very smart and very trainable.. and for the most part
the"game" is being bred out of them these days.

D. Harrison :
Pits are the most misunderstood of any breed of dog out there. They are
far worse than the "bad boy" breeds before them. There are far
more good pits then bad ones. but the bad ones are the ones getting media
attention. of the millions of pits out there why are so few the subject of
positive press. we wont even talk about how few of the attack stories are
actually perpetuated by true pit bulls.. and not some mutt or mix there of
or in other cases pure bred dogs of some other breed. lets let the truth
be known, you the media have the power to let it out. |

Danielle Castillo :
I have four children and one on the way, let me say that never will I ever
have any other breed of dog raised near my children. PItbull's are not
naturally aggressive or mean, it is the way their owner's raise them.
Have you ever heard the saying that there is no such thing as a bad kid,
only bad parent's? This is also true with pitbull's. Raised in a
loving environment, pitbull's are the most loyal, loving ,affectionate
dog's I have ever seen. Do the research on it and you will find that
there is more aggressive breed's out there that noone is hearing of. I
know a little story of a guy and his pitbull, do your research on this
also, they were at the resevoir together, I believe in Stockton, Ca, the
owner dove into the water and hit his head on a rock and went unconcious.
The pitbull, being a naturally nurturing, worriesome animal, started
whining and circling the area where the owner dove. Friend's around him
that knew the dog, noticed the owner wasn't around, and immediately
started looking for him and found him almost three minute's after his
accident. Because of this pitbull that everyone want's to
"bully" this guy is alive and healthy today. Let the truth be
told about pitbull's, pitbull owner's and lover's will thank
you for it. |

American Pit bull Terriers. Both of my sons have been raised with the dogs.
My 2 year old sleeps with Blitz(dog) in his room. :-)They are the best of
friends. I have owned A.P.B.T.'s my whole life and would never think
of owning another breed. There is so much negitivity surrounding this
breed. Fox News please do a segment on the American Pit Bull Terrier. We
need to educate society. This breed needs our help. |

THe American Pitbull is by Far the best dog I have owned for the past 16
years, I have raised pitbulls with other breed's like Rottweiler's,
Poodle's, Bulldog's, chiuauas, etc... I Have encounter other breeds
that are so agreesive you can't even touch them. I love The APBT and
stand with everyone whose trying to make a possitive change in the pitbull
world. Like everyone says, PUNISH THE DEED, NOT THE BREED. |

Anthony Luna :
Over the years these dogs have been danger in the eyes of many. like stated
b4 bad dogs start from a bad owner. i have a niece and nephew that spend
countless hours with me and my dogs. they would rather play with my dogs
then their millions of toys. they play with the dogs like they were toys,
playing dress up and stuff like that. Never have i had an incident where my
dogs were a danger to them or any others. This is a very mis-understood
breed. In the dog business we have a saying punish the deed not the breed. |

K Frost :
The ignorance out there about this great breed is unbelievable and at times
heart wrenching. It's definitely time to help educate more people about
the best breed of dog there is hands down- the American Pitbull Terrier.
Unsurpassed intelligence, loyalty, ability, beauty and personality, this
breed needs to be shown more for what it truly is- great all around dogs-
not the breed of dog so closely associated with sad misconceptions and
exaggerations that are routinely set forth by media outlets. It's
great to see so many APBT enthusiasts working together to improve the name
of the American Pitbull Terrier. |
