Did anyone see the (new) Iron Mask Show last nite? The last subject/person brought VERY BAD PRESS for the pit bull. He was obviously an inner city dogfighter who admitted (behind his mask of anonymity) that he and his people steel peoples' beloved pets to toss to his pit bulls to 'train' them. "It's just how I make my money" he said. The audience was livid. When the host asked him how we the public could protect ourselves from him - he said to keep your pets in the house and have a shot gun. Said they are fully aware that some owners may have guns and try to shoot at them when they're stealing a dog. He was so cold and detached about it - said he didn't think about (tho he said he could understand) the emotion of people losing their pets. It didn't really address pb-to-pb fighting but mostly focused on the pet-stealing aspect. I was so disappointed as it clearly riled up the audience and did us no good in the PR dept. Wasn't even 'those pit bulls killing eachother" - no sympathy card. It was that bad guy and those bad dogs.
