Good article for those who can see a dog as a victim...

From the article...

"Today�s pit bull bans tell us more about ourselves than about the breed: about the rituals and the illusions that have become necessary to our survival. The drive to label, condemn, and exterminate has become a moral enterprise. No wonder the stories about pit bulls�at once labeled �vicious� and brutalized by those who so label them�confound the ability to know right from wrong, to judge injury, to discriminate between victims and predators, cruelty and care."
