I was informed that a few days back PETA was over on Twitter promoting a new t-shirt, featuring the face of a dog that they openly want dead. Yet, their shirt gives no indication that their organization’s official stance is that all Pit Bull-type dogs be killed in order to “save them from abuse.” That’s right… PETA not only supports the shelter-killing of every dog coming through the doors that is deemed to be in any way a Pit Bull, they also support BSL (breed-specific legislation) and lobby on its behalf anywhere that it is attempted. Those are the facts.
So as they tweet about a $25 shirt that’s meant to promote the shelter adoption of the “underdog” (another phrase routinely aligned with Pit Bulls), while using the face of a Pit Bull to boot, their organization supports the ceasing and existing of Pit Bulls altogether, while openly lobbying for them to be banned and never adopted.
So again, while a great message, it totally misrepresents their own stance on the issues and exploits the plight of Pit Bulls everywhere for profit. Get familiar with who, and what, you actually support.
