Haters are butt-hurting because not only is Ms Dickey an attractive looking woman but she's obviously very intelligent too and that just chaffs their butt.
"Bronwen Dickey is a contributing editor at The Oxford American and the author of Pit Bull: The Battle over an American Icon (Alfred A. Knopf, 2016). Her writing has also appeared inThe New York Times, The Virginia Quarterly Review, Newsweek, Outside, Popular Mechanics, Best American Travel Writing 2009, Slate, Garden & Gun, The San Francisco Chronicle, Southern Living, World Hum, Sport Diver, and The Independent Weekly, among other publications. In 2009 she received a first-place Lowell Thomas Award in travel journalism and a residency grant from the MacDowell Colony. "

Apparently this post slandering and attacking "Bronwen Dickey" doesn't breach Facebook's community standards which are designed to protect users from bullying and harassment but as you can see Facebook does not enforce it's own standards when it comes to pit bull haters who seem to get a free pass to do pretty much anything they want in relation to bullying people.
Even Merritless weighs in giving his twenty cents worth which in reality is worth nothing as he has no formal training in gathering and correlating data nor has he any formal education in actual canines he's a washed up journo trying to earn a living off killing pit bulls much like Culleen Lynn the notoriously uneducated creator of dogsbite.
As you can see their whole argument revolves around personal attacks and bullying with one of their supporters identified as "Craig Brown" by Ms Dickey and dispatched to bully the author by the fruit cake Dj an alleged public safety advocate from Wisconsin "Jeff Borchardt" caused Ms dickey to fear for her safety with his bullyish behavior.
As you can see by the New York Times review of the publication below the book is being well received by the general public and actual experts.
"Ms. Dickey’s research and reporting are exhaustive, and the book does sometimes get sluggish with details, but it is this work that makes her convincing when she argues that the dogs are more victims than monsters."
New York Times
Amazon also gives glowing reviews of Ms Dickeys work.....
"Whether through love or fear, hatred or devotion, humans are bound to the history of the pit bull. With unfailing thoughtfulness, compassion, and a firm grasp of scientific fact, Dickey offers us a clear-eyed portrait of this extraordinary breed, and an insightful view of Americans’ relationship with their dogs."

There's pages of five star reviews for the book on Goodread too so as you can see these haters live in their own little fairy tale where they're right and the majority of the animal and scientific world are all wrong apparently whereas none of these people are experts.
"THIS* is how a non-fiction book is supposed to be written. It is extremely clear when reading the book the amount of research that went into it. Not just searching google and looking for user comments or reading news articles, but actual legitimate research, interviews and more research. This book not only delves into the history of the breed, the reputation of the breed, but looks at modern, peer reviewed, scientific research papers that have been performed to show the major discrepancies between reality and "hysteria". She's done a wonderful job of delving into the psyche of humans in the modern world and why we are so prone to buy into hysteria, while discounting all facts that show us the error of our ways. I agree with other reviewers about the context of this book being more about people than dogs. It uses the topic of "Pit Bulls", which isn't even a specific dog breed, to explore people and try to make sense of some of our more senseless ways. I just finished this book and couldn't be more pleased. I have to say, this is one of the best non-fiction books I have read.
As an aside, scary but also eye-roll worthy, I got up this morning and someone had sent me a good write-up regarding the book since they knew I was reading it. It's about the author and the craziness she has had thrown her way since writing the book: You can find it by googling "How Writing About Pit Bulls Led to Death Threats, Online and IRL". It's on lithub. I've noticed several other articles throughout the last few weeks speaking about the crazy experiences book stores and this author have had from the same small group of people. "

Please let me warn both pit bull owners and anyone willing to speak up for pit bulls this is the type of bullying, stalking and outright harassment to expect from these so called public safety advocates who prove themselves to be little more then cyber bully's stalkers and criminals all of whom have criminal records to varying degrees including everything from driving under the influence to domestic abuse by battery including having sex with a minor.
In closing if you intend to advocate for pit bulls on the internet please make sure all your pictures of your pets interacting with your children are locked down as these people will steal those pictures and then use them to try and bully you into shutting up.
more to come.....
