“I believe that’s there’s a really ridiculous and unwarranted stigma that’s attached to both pit bulls and pit bull owners. There are a lot of causes to get behind in the world, but I think that breed-specific prejudices can lead to problems that are as mundane as simply people crossing the street when they see a pit bull, to people being kicked out of their apartments or being separated from their family pets because of the breed of the dog, which has nothing to do with the dog’s behavior or the level of responsibility of the owner”- Jon Bernthal

“We’ve always been a big dog family and very much a family that’s behind animal rights. I want to do my part to put an end to dog fighting and to rehabilitate fighting dogs.”

- Jon Bernthal
