If My Dog Could Speak

It won't let me upload the infographic on here.. so here is the link to it

I was reading a lot about how animals are represented in media. I know the Infographic itself, doesn't have much to it, but the story from my dogs point of view is the big idea. Steve Bakers article called Animals, Representation, and Reality talk a lot about how animals are represented. He talks about how someone could take a picture of a wild animal, and show people and they would be amazed. If that same person takes a picture of a wild animal at a Zoo, it is not so amazing. We as human being think things when we see them because we were brought up that way. Baker also talks about how animals should have some kind of rights, and as people we are their voice. This is connected a lot to my topic of Pit bulls. They are banned in more cities than I can count all over this country. Over 200 of them are killed daily for no reason. Those numbers don't mean much to someone unless they own a pit bull. I could walk around a city with my dog, and he can be taken away from me and killed because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is a great quote I come across a lot when I research pit bulls."In the ’70s they blamed Dobermans, in the ’80s they blamed German Shepherds, in the ’90s they blamed the Rottweiler. Now they blame the Pit Bull. When will they blame the humans?" I am not sure who said it, but they said it well. The media makes everyone believe these dogs are evil, but they aren't. Any dog can bite someone, and that dog shouldn't be punished. The owner should be punished. I have a pit bull and he wouldn't hurt a fly. Punish the deed not the breed!
