“Beyond the Myth is a film about dogs commonly referred to as "pit bulls” and those who love and defend these breeds. It explores the contributing factors behind the public’s generalized fear of “pit bulls,” and examines the conflict existing between advocates and opponents of breed discriminatory laws, as carried out in three cities that ban pit bull-type dogs: Denver, Miami, and Cincinnati-along with San Francisco, which requires the animals to be spayed and neutered.“
This documentary examines the negative media coverage of the Pit Bull and its consequences, including multiple city-wide bans across the United States, mass euthanasia, and the perpetuation of the belief that the breed is inherently violent.
This is a must see if you are a Pit Bull lover like myself. This movie opens up your eyes to how people really discriminate the Pit Bull breed. It makes me so mad and frustrated that people discriminate towards the breed verse the owner especially without the knowledge and common sense of not just the breed but dogs in general. This video proves the bias that lies within our media especially when it comes to specifying an animal is a Pit Bull verse any other breed.
The movie was written by Libby Sherrill and can be purchased on their website at www.beyondthemythmovie.com or on Amazon.
