Stop WWE Tough Enough TV Show from Using Dogs!

Stop the use of dogs in the WWE Tough Enough reality television show. So-called "attack dogs" are used in one of the show's challenges. This further reinforces the misinformation about dog breeds like Pit Bulls and others. It also sensationalizes these breeds and encourages people to mishandle and abuse them. Have we learned nothing from the Michael Vick dog fighting debacle? Shows such as this one debase these breeds and we must stop this.
Please edit out the portions of your show that shows attack dogs being used to challenge your contestants. Showing this to millions of viewers, including children and other impressionable young people, simply further reinforces the misinformation about breeds like Pit Bulls. This reminds me of the Michael Vick debacle and it shouldn't be allowed. I'm sure the dogs are well managed and cared for but the showing of "attack" dogs in such a setting is simply wrong.
