Fear Factor shines a Negative light on Pit Bulls! Please Sign!

Since this petition has caused so much controversy I would like to state first and foremost that the dog used on the show was not a pit bull. This petition never stated that it was a pit bull, and the title of this petition does not state that it was a pit bull. You can see a picture of the dog here: http://www.nbc.com/Fear_Factor/gross/621_canine_attack.shtml
Everyone calling this petition slander towards pit bulls is completely missing the point. Whether the dog was a pit bull or not, 99% of the people that saw the show are going to assume that it was. Pit bulls were the target and pit bulls are the ones that will be most affected!
Read what this petition is really about before you make complaints.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This isn't about cruelty, this is about the negative portrayal of pit bulls and other misunderstood breeds. Fear Factor and NBC are in poor taste airing that program when there is such a spotlight on these breeds and they're being banned left and right from counties and cities. It is important now more than ever that we help to educate misinformed people that there are NO bad dogs only bad owners. Eradicating a breed is not only ignorant but in essence it is Evil.

This petition is against NBC airing that program or any other negative portrayal of a endangered breed, and also for exploiting this volatile issue to try to improve their ratings. Using a breed that is being portrayed in the media as "violent" to attack people on national television is unethical, immoral, and shows how corrupt the media really is. Breed Specific Legislation is being put in effect through TV shows like Fear Factor, we must take action to counter and correct the stereotype of misunderstood breeds.
