A Stereotype is a simple, standardized image to characterize something held common by members of a group. Many stereotypes are based on real life experiences, while others are creations of our imagination due to images in visual media, publications, or urban legends. Many of these stereotypes are misunderstood and evolve over time.
Talking Points:
- Breed Specific Legislation
- Breed Specific Activism
- Childhood Stories
- Shelter Animals
- Man-Eaters
- Animal Advocates
- Media/Publishers
- Hero vs Victim
- Education
- Experience

What is the main source of these stereotypes? Is there a need to evolve?
