2 PART ONE WHAT IS A PIT BULL DOG AND WHY ARE WE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THEM? And seriously! What is up with the quotation marks and how exactly are they supposed to help me? In the 1980s, when Animal Farm Foundation began, we focused on American Pit Bull Terriers. Our mission was: To restore the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier and protect him from discrimination and cruelty. October 25 28,

3 Over time we realized the dogs we were helping were not necessarily purebred American Pit Bull Terriers, but dogs that someone else had labeled "pit bulls." In 2011, we changed our mission statement: To secure equal treatment & opportunity for pit bull dogs. WHAT IS A PIT BULL? OMAHA, NEBRASKA: Pit bull shall be defined as any dog that is an American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, American Bulldog, or any dog displaying the majority of physical traits of any one or more of these breeds. MAQUOKETA, IOWA: Pit bull terrier dogs, or mixed pit bull terrier dogs, or any dog which has the appearance and characteristics of being a pit bull terrier. SOUTH BEND, INDIANA: The breed of dog registered and described by the UKC and the ADBA as the American Pit Bull Terrier, also known as the pit bull terrier, and any crossbreed of the American Pit Bull Terrier; but does not include the breeds known as the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the English Bulldog, the Bull Terrier, or the Bulldog, all of which are recognized by the AKC. MANTECA, CALIFORNIA: Any dog that is a Bull Terrier, Miniature Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, or any other dog displaying the physical traits of any one or more of the above breeds. ORANGE BEACH, ALABAMA: A vicious or dangerous animal means any dog that is of a breed which is bred as a fighting or attack dog, or such dog that has been especially trained as an attack, guard, or fighting dog. It varies from place to place! MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY: An American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, or St. Francis Terrier, or any mixed breed with at least 50% of any combination of aforesaid MIAMI, named FLORIDA: breeds. Testimony by a veterinarian, zoologist, animal behaviorist, or animal control officer that a particular dog exhibits distinguishing physical characteristics of a pit bull shall establish a rebuttable presumption that the dog is a pit bull. October 25 28,
