A Chat About Pit Bulls

My name is Brenny Rodriguez and in my one and only episode, I talk about the correlation between breed-specific legislation and racism. In this episode, I also have my friend Diana who is the owner of a pitbull named Canelo. I asked Diana some questions regarding her experience as a pitbull owner and her opinion of pitbulls overall. Breed-specific legislation refers to rules, policies, or laws that only apply to certain dog breeds. Considering the pitbull is banned in many counties, homes, and even some countries, in this episode I explain how these bans have nothing to do with the breed but instead with the idea that the pitbull has been labeled a black-owned breed. Here are the links to the sources I referred to in the episode: Racism and the American Pit Bull Dog Breed Restrictions in Housing The Black Man's Dog: The Social Context of Breed Specific Legislation Black America's Dog
