The author of this article is obviously quite naïve. While I agree dogs should be treated humanely, I also do believe they should be BRED humanely. The very act of breeding pit bulls is inhumane. Inhumane to the multiple, daily human victims admitted into a American ICU. Inhumane to the dead human victim every couple weeks. Inhumane to the 50,000 annual deaths of American domestic animals.   Inhumane to the pit bulls themselves, who are set up for societal failure. There is reason pit bulls are discriminated against in society, and the reason is because of the discrimination used in the breeding process. The human selection of a pit bull's parents is loaded with the discrimination against hundreds and hundreds of much safer types and breeds of dogs.

I find it ironic how the author, in her own words at the very end,  mentions breeding in a political sense, but not in a way that could prove her to be a expert, or even knowledgeable on the subject of dog breeding.
