27. Pit Bull Talk with Advocate Laura Vena

Published: Jan. 28, 2021, 11:08 p.m.

Laura Vena, from Blockhead Brigade, joins me from Long Beach, California to talk about helping pit bulls.

\n

She challenges our perception of pit bulls, introducing many common myths and the truth behind those myths.

\n

Throughout our conversation, she pushes us to stop thinking of dogs in \u201cbreeds\u201d, but to think of each one as a truly unique individual. Just like us.

\n

Dogs, regardless of breed, have numerous facets to their personality and behavior.  They have things that make them joyous, and things that make them scared.

\n

We cannot predict temperament solely based on breed.  And decisions about pit bulls in shelters, in government, and in housing should not do this either.

\n


\n

TODAY\u2019S SIMPLE IDEA:

\n

HAVE THE FACTS TOP OF MIND.  Lookup the \u201cAll Dogs Are Individuals\u201d infographic and memorize some of the facts.  Respectfully share these facts when we have an opportunity.  And point people to Animal Farm Foundation to learn more.
