from FB: Out of the Pits, Inc. So who wants to foster a 4 month old female blue puppy????? and when I posted a snarky "what is she cold?" response, they deleted it ??? ??? and someone is ragging on me that "it's not funny".. Jo Ann Bielinski not funny Emily. We are serious, if you know a pit, you know there chances are slim, sorry all to reply to this, but it hit a nerve, I love pits, and they have had such a bad rap, my daughter has three. my response, probably soon to be deleted: Emily Sieger @jo Ann: it's not funny when a major pit bull rescue promotes dogs by color, when there is nothing special/different/rare about that color (except for increased susceptiblity to skin problems... or maybe you didn't know that about blue colored APBTs?).

Out of the Pits, Inc. OK, ok....let's regroup here. Describing the dog by color or patterns is not intended to perpetuate any perceived hierarchy but to acknowledge that as a rescue organization who depends on volunteers, some people may have personal and well intended preferences. We are in no position to turn away any assistance from our approved network of volunteers. So, Emily our apologies if the posting struck a nerve with you - we are simply utilizing our limited resources in the most expedient manner. End of discussion...who wants to rescue some loving and deserving pit bulls? but they still deleted both my posts...

Why would they delete your posts? Doesn't sound like either were offensive in any way! I would definitely be asking why, but I cause problems wherever I go...

and because I'm a bitch, I posted this, which I'm sure will also be deleted: good; I'll look forward to future promotions: "who wants a black pit bull" and "who wants a brindle pit bull" and of course "who wants a rednose American pitt" Yeah, this post strikes a nerve because it perpetuates a false notion about the APBT; that a color is something special. I thought with your longterm experience, you wouldn't be buying into that. I thought you'd be promoting your rescues by their temperament and adherence to the APBT/AST standards. My bad.
