Thank you for posting, interesting! I just don't like the anthropomorphizing. I think it's ridiculous to compare racial profiling/prejudice/negative media coverage and dog breed discrimination. I really like Gamedog Guardian, I think they put very thought-provoking stuff out there, but for some reason this struck me as really fluffy and overly-emo. Also degrading to African Americans/people of color. You can choose to get a Pit Bull - don't whine about it if you experience some weird glances or have trouble renting because you own one. It bothers you dealing with your breed's stereotype? Don't get a Pit Bull. African Americans cannot "choose" not to be black. They MUST deal with prejudice, they cannot 'opt out' of the situation. Maybe I'm just cranky, but I'm really tired of this sort of breed promotion. A human isn't a dog breed bred for specific traits over a specific period of time. Humans aren't owned by irresponsible idiots that are often attracted to a breed for all the wrong reasons (ranging from "awww I wanna save em and love em all and make everything come up rainbows and butterflies" to gangbangers using dogs in trap houses). And I see GDG has also gone down the "pit bull" path, diverging from APBT advocacy. Sigh. That's my rant for the day Hope it makes sense, I just kinda went on brain-dump.
