Snoopy21 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I am doing a Uni assignment and need some links to news articles about pit bulls please. I have gone through the News section here, but need a little variety. I particularly want some that have ludicrous descriptions like "sharks on legs" and "vicious, terrible beasts". A couple of positive stories to compare them with would be good. Images would also be helpful, particularly happy pit bulls (crosses and amstaffs included) and cute pups. I am trying to avoid horrid descriptions of maulings and deaths, because the articles are intended for by upper primary aged children. I would be most grateful for any link or pictures posted. Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusky Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have a great book called "Dogs Bite But Balloons and slippers are more dangerous". it might be a spin for you. Written by Janis Bradley. It works on statistics for instance cars cause thousands of deaths a day but we don't ban them. I know it is not what you asked for but it is the same when we get a shark death...kill the shark etc. The same day there would be road deaths in the same place but they rate only a mention. I am not for a second minimising the tragedy of a person or dog killed by another dog. Just thought you might be interested in the info to brng into your debate. There is also a chapter on breed identification follies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy21 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Thanks again Rusky. What a gorgeous boy Chief was. Thanks for your reply gsf, but I really need news articles I can print. I want to be able to show that the language and images used in articles reflects the views of the author and impacts the reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
