Description: Understanding the Pit Bull Placebo: How to Break the Cycle of Discrimination
Regulating dogs by breed or appearance, whether in shelters or in our communities, destroys the human-canine bond. Learn the history of canine discrimination, how it has led to the current demonization of dogs called pit bulls, and what can be done to break the cycle of discrimination. Take away practical steps to hold shelters, rescues and pet owners to a higher standard of accountability and care for all dogs.
