Does PETA support BSL?
October 8th, 2007
A resounding “YES!” PETA has been a long-time supporter of BSL. PETA representatives have sat in on court cases, touting themselves as "experts" in support of pit bull bans and restrictions on pit bull ownership. PETA also writes letters in support of BSL to legislators all over the country.
If you email PETA directly and ask about their take on pit bulls, they will give you the same canned answer. They will tell you that pit bulls are the most abused dog on the planet, and it’s in their best interest that we let the breed die out, to end their suffering. They will never come right out and say they support killing all pit bulls. They will dance around the question with pre-written answers that they give everyone. They’ll tell you they believe in banning the breeding of pit bulls. But that’s not all they support, they support full out pit bull bans. They’ll try to sugarcoat their reasons for supporting BSL to throw you off.
Eliminating pit bulls from this planet is not going to end the suffering. Dogfighters are not just going to throw up their hands and say, "Oh darn, there are no more pit bulls in this world, guess I can’t be a dogfighter anymore". They will find another breed to use in the fighting ring. Same with animal abusers, taking pit bulls out of existence is not going to end the existence of animal abusers.
PETA is shameless, they have no problem using images of pit bulls on their website, or using stories about abused pit bulls, to encourage donations to their cause. I used to be a PETA supporter years ago, but no more!
