"I AM THE MAJORITY" Project - 2nd Photo Shoot

CALLING ALL PITBULL DOGS AND THEIR OWNERS!!


Ledyard
C.H.A.I.N. Inc. and Marissalyn Marshall, Student of Ledyard High School, invite
you and your Pittbull dog to a photo session for the “I Am The Majority”
Project.



The “I Am The Majority Project” is nationwide awareness program sponsored by
the Animal Farm Foundation. They take photo
submissions from everyday “pit bull” dog owners from around the country and
share them in a variety of media formats on the Internet and in their marketing
materials. Through this growing collection of photos, which illustrates how
everyday “pit bull” dog families are making valuable contributions to their
communities and families, Animal Farm Foundation is empowering dog owners to
stand up against discrimination and prejudice.



This project shines a
spotlight on the majority of “pit bull” dog owners: co-workers, friends,
family, and neighbors and shows these everyday “pit bull” dog owners are not
the exception, they are the rule.


We want our community
to unite and be a part of this movement! Are you on board to show everyone that
you are part of the MAJORITY!!! SPREAD THE WORD TO OTHER PITTIE OWNERS!

An example of the type of photos we will be taking is shown and the example of the slideshow we will be creating can be found:
