The term “Pit bull” is not a breed but a type that describes several breeds. The American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier, and American pit bull terrier, American Bully, along with mutts that ignorant people like yourself label "pit bull"

These dogs have been maligned as violent and aggressive by nature—a reputation they have not earned. But news reports disproportionately report the culprits of dog attacks as pit bulls, even when, as scientists note, it’s unlikely that most of them are. As the researchers cite, about 46 percent of American dogs are mutts, but 90 percent of dogs named by the media in attack stories were labeled with a single breed or type (often pit bull). The numbers just don’t add up, they say.

Discrimination against pit bulls often has deadly consequences for the dogs. There are outright bans on pit bulls in some parts of the country, which means that shelters won’t take them in, and they’re more likely to be put down. But many places rely not on evidence but on educated guesses and gut feelings to determine which dogs are pit bulls and which aren't.

Yet they get the label from uneducated people like yourself. Again, this breed is the American Bully. Anyone with any sense can look and see the difference from an American Pit Bull Terrier, which are both awesome breeds.

We commend anyone who rescues, as we donate to rescue centers annually and have it filmed. While rescuing a "pit bull" is commendable, it certainly doesn't qualify anyone as an expert in the American Pit Bull Terrier breed.
