Displaying such immense glee when tragic incidents occur that are be blamed on Pit Bulls, however erroneously. Endlessly posting the same lies, distortions and myths which have been repeatedly debunked - the objective being the murder 18-20 million innocent animals. And if anyone brings a little bit of truth & sanity into the discussion, they're mercilessly attacked.

This Pit Bull hating anti-dog cult cling to illogical, unscientific lies. They selectively cry about tragic incidents, but refuse to acknowledge the real problems that cause them. They advocate legislation that doesn't solves the problem it purports to address, and causes immense harm to millions of people instead. They want to enact racism into law. And they treat anyone who disagrees with them as a mortal enemy. They're more like Freepers & Teabaggers than anything else.
