Why do pitbull propagandist mention "Petey" from the "Little Rascals" tv show as some type of supposed role model of a pitbull or as a an excuse of justification for continuation of a breed that has killed 22-27 people for the 5 years?
What is the purpose of mentioning a tv show dog? What did that prove?
The dog that most commonly played Petey was poisoned. Possibly by the parents of those at risk chidren. People didn't like pits back then either.
That made for tv portrayal of Petey was about as FAKE as the ring around that gripper dog's eye. FYI, the tv crew had to artificially darken that circle and make it a complete circle.
So dumb to use Hollywood flim flam as a debate point. The "Little Rascals" was a show about a bunch of unattended children, most of them which would be categorized as lower half in socioeconomic levels, who constantly got into mischief, many times the scenarios portrayed life threatening situations for those children, so that is basically all you told us in your reference to Petey.
It is no wonder the dog for the show was a pitbull. A low class, ruffian of gripper bred fighting dog was perfect for the part.
What did Petey do on the show other than mostly bite people? He bit and gripped. Petey displayed perfect baiting/fighting dog behavior when he gripped and pulled during an episode that the kids were flying a kite. He didn't let go unless he could get a better grip. He was the perfect dog when they needed a dog which would bite, grip and use his body weight to pull. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. That's what makes pitbulls so lethal. They don't want to stop when they start that kind of behavior. And if it's a human instead of a kite, that kind of behavior leads to deadly consequences.
