Wokeness Comes to the Pet World
The non-profit group Animal Farm Foundation (AFF) released a statement suggesting fear of pit bulls makes you a racist.
But wait, pit bulls are just 6.5% of all dogs in the United States and yet were responsible for 66% of total fatal dog attacks between 2005 and 2017. That makes them dangerous–if, of course, you’re a RACIST who believes in FACTS and DATA! Check you privilege, whitey, and let that dog eat your daughter’s face.
“By ending these exclusionary breed restrictions, we will chip away at the long-time practice of big insurance justifying reasons not to ensure the consumers they call “high risk” which is often just code for race or class discrimination,” Stacey Coleman , Animal Farm Foundation’s $142,000 a year executive director, stated.

A woman is petitioning to end the Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) after her Staffordshire Bull Terrier is forced to wear a muzzle every time she leaves the house.
16 years ago, North Little Rock passed Breed Specific Legislation that banned pit bulls in the area. Author: Jade Jackson Updated: 9:14 AM CDT May 6, 2021
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark Breed Specific Legislation, or BSL, was passed in North Little Rock 16 years ago that targeted pit bulls.
Courtney Mixon said that she s been attending city counsel meetings and protesting at city hall over the past seven years.
Mixon is the co-founder of the North Little Rock group, Repeal BSL. I was a person who was scared of these type of dogs, Mixon said. I grew up and there were so many dogs chained up and one actually I think bit my cousin. They re just using these dogs as guard dogs and not as family dogs.
