Who Killed Daxton James Borchardt?

Written on September 6th, 2013

Six months ago today, on March 6, 2013 in Darien, Wisconsin, pro-pit bull organizations whose lobbyists are backed by millions of dollars killed my son.

Six months ago today, the Best Friends Animal Society, that claims pit bulls are “just like any other dogs,” killed my son.

Six months ago today, the National Canine Research Council, Animal Farm Foundation, BADRAP, and Pit Bulletin Legal News Network, among others, killed my son.

Six months ago today, the American SPCA, which admits the dog- aggressive heritage of the breed, but holds to the false claim that pit bulls were once “nursemaid” dogs, killed my son.

Six months ago today, television shows such as “Pit Bosses,” “Pit Bulls & Parolees,” and “The Dog Whisperer” that keep pushing the lie “It’s not the breed, it’s how you raise them,” killed my son.

Six months ago today, the people at the Humane Society of the U.S. who tell us that responsible ownership is all it takes for a dog to be safe, killed my son.

Six months ago today, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention,
which dropped the pit bull issue in 1998, made my son the 211th American killed by a pit bull since then and the 358th in recorded history.

Six months ago today, the American Veterinary Medical Association message that “The owner’s behavior is the underlying causal factor,” killed my son.

Six months ago today, the myth that pit bulls were ever a “nanny dog” killed my son.

Six months ago today, the phrase “All dogs bite” killed my son.

Six months ago today, parents who post photos of their pit bulls and children on Facebook killed my son.

Six months ago today, my son was killed by the truth not being told to the American public.

Six months ago today, we were duped by the myths, misinformation, and lies that took the life of 14-month-old Daxton James Borchardt.

All of the people and organizations that I just mentioned are as responsible for the death of my son as the pit bulls who turned “dead game,” holding and shaking Dax in a sustained 15-minute attack that ripped his face off and crushed his skull.

The truth not being told killed my son six months ago today.
