Hello,
I am writing to you from National Geographic Television. We found your footage online at You Tube of a pit bull running on a carpet mill. We would like to license this footage from you for use in our documentary about pit bulls. We would be using the footage to show what some forms of training are for pit bulls for use in the dog fighting world. We can blur any faces or identifiable locations. We would not be releasing your name or information, but in order for us to use your footage we would need you to sign a release. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in. My email is apinney@ngs.org. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best,
Ashley Pinney

NatGeo's website is http://www.nationalgeographic.com/. I wonder if the email is a spoof.

Why would anyone let them use a vid of there dog to represent a dog in the fighting world? Sounds stupid to me JMO.

Funny thing is none of those numbers match up here

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/community/email.html

I own a few websites and when your registering a domain usually you can enter any info you want and usually they dont verify it

[Texbull]

Damn thats fucked up. Like everyone else said I wouldn't touch it

[Rocky H. Balboa]

National Geographic? And i thought it was going to come out in CNN or the like. Figures! National Geographic will give it a sense of "truth" to the Humaniac story.

Hmmmm, how can we use this to our advantage?

At least send them an email telling them of the truth surrounding conditioning equipment, our dogs, and H$U$. It is much better than a non-response. Just my HO.

[oldtimebullylove]

Some people not only have a lot of nerve, but then on the other hand, you have idiots that will crave the attention. They will be the next to get busted!

[ultimatek9]

I should email them and tell them they can use the videos of my boys doing agility, flyball, weightpull, and obedience. That way they can do a documentary about what pitbulls are really capable of. I can also send them tons of pictures of my boys with cats, other dogs, a hog, and kids to use.

What @sses!

[SPFDOGS]

You should..

[CooljoeGoodie]

Put it out on youtube and everywhere,as to what they are trying to do and how they are trying to twist the truth to fit their lies and it isn't for the good of the breed ....

[ultimatek9]

This is the email that I sent them.

Hello,

I have several videos of my boys (APBTs) and photos that you can use for your documentary.
I am offering them, in case you are interested in the real American Pit Bull Terrier and what they are capable of.
You can visit my youtube page here http://www.youtube.com/user/ultimatek9 (http://www.youtube.com/user/ultimatek9).
Let me know if you are interested.

Hi Carla,
thanks for your email. We've actually already covered all of our footage needs at this point. Thank you so much for your willingness to contribute though, we really appreciate it. If you would like any info about the documentary we are working on, please let me know, thanks so much!

Your video was probably too positive for them to take, Ultimatek9.

I emailed her back and asked her to keep me updated with their "progress".
