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.
Academics Say Fear of Pit Bulls Is Linked to… Racism?

The Animal Farm Foundation, a non-profit “dedicated to securing equal treatment and opportunity for ‘pit bull’ dogs and their owners”, has launched a new initiative to combat “exclusionary dog breed restrictions in the housing insurance industry.”
In its statement, the AFF cites the work of Ann Linder, a Legislative Policy Fellow with Harvard Law School’s Animal Law and Policy Program. According to her paper, “The Black Man’s Dog: The Social Context of Breed Specific Legislation”, pit bulls have been unfairly tied to “gang violence by urban youths, as well as the hip-hop music scene.”
