Pit Bull Panic

The secondary source I'm using is from the Journal of Popular Culture, and is called "Pit Bull Panic". I have found this is useful because it is so long and covers a lot of information when it comes to the media and the controversy over pit bulls. This is one quote that I plan to integrate into my paper:

“A survey done by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals found that 30% of shelters that responded do not adopt out Pit Bulls. Most of these shelters have this policy due to community bans, but others choose not to. Obviously these organizations feel that Pit Bulls are dangerous. They are, no doubt, in part influenced by media accounts (Cohen and Richardson 285).”
