Did you know there are many different sports played each day? Dog fighting and Hog hunting are aggressive sports, but baseball is a recreational sport.
Dog fighting is an aggressive sport. Michael Vick said,” I didn’t do it for the money I like the competition part about it,” This shows that people don’t just do it for the money, but the competition the aggression. Another example, of dog fighting being aggressive is when,” The police spotted blood on the floor they suspected an illegal dog fighting operation wa being ran. Based on this, dog fighting is a aggressive because you have two animals fighting too the death. Dog fighting is a very illegal sport for example,” Michael Vick went to jail for 18 months.” This shows how aggressive
In the ever changing world of dog fighting, pit bulls and their bloodlines is often times over looked. In “Bringing Rico to the Ring,” Matthew Heger describes how dog fighting first began and which dogs and bloodlines were used. Heger demonstrates that Dog fighting is a terrible thing and that is why he introduces RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations). Matthew Heger employs the rhetorical appeals of pathos and ethos effectively. He demonstrates through his tone of voice that he is aggressive towards this topic and decides to elaborate more on it.
It is true, Pit Bulls are more susceptible to becoming a fighting dog due to their build. Owners of these dogs do not care care of their own dog’s well being as shown by the dog’s environment. The animals are often held out in muddy chains twenty four hours a day, starved and beaten by their owners, never receiving any kind of love. Some dogs have their teeth filed for a sharp edge, are injected with harmful steroids, and spend numerous hours racing on a treadmill.(CBC News Windsor) In the ring, it gets even worse. When former orange county prosecutor George Hoovler entered a dog fighting scene, he was taken aback, truly shocked at what he was viewing. "I had been to a number of murder scenes," Hoovler remarks "but I was appalled." (Weir). The fighting pits themselves are typically compact and not sanitary at all due to the brutal brawl that takes place inside them. These dogs are trained to attack each other with aggression and no remorse, ripping jaws and veins a part until one is so nearly dead there can be a declared winner. The loser however if not already dead, is then tortured for their loss and even murdered in petrifying ways. Some may be shot, others could be electrocuted, drowned, and even hanging is a technique used. The fighting dogs do fight for a purpose, they fight to live. Despite the cruel abuse the dogs receive from their past owners, the dogs that live
Pit bulls have been the main choice for dog fights throughout the years and are mostly bred just to keep more pit bulls in the ring, which has been the most inhumane. The puppies are raised in violence which creates vicious dogs for the fights. They have been selected for numerous fights because of their athletic build and ability to keep fighting even if they have broken legs or injured really badly. They have been selected for fights because of their athletic build and ability to keep fighting even if they have broken legs or injured really badly ( ). Any type of criminal likes the look of a mean companion that they could use for their own benefit, thus the pit bulls seemed ideal for any given circumstance. “Dogmen” are breeders that take dogs in for dog fights and their breed of choice as well is its. If a dog is under attack, naturally they are gonna fight their instincts and fight back. Like any living creature a dog has a fight or flight instinct that kicks in when threatened and they go on autopilot to protect themselves or their young as
Aggressive and/or vicious dogs are beginning to be a serious problem in the United States. With the rise in dog fights Pit Bull Terriers are viewed in a negative light. When the wrong owner gets a Pit Bull and withholds food and teaches the dog to fight it makes a very dangerous dog. Pit bulls are known for their bite strength and fearless personalities. Due to all the negative media, abusive and neglectful pit bull owners; the pit bull terriers are thought of as vicious and unsafe dogs to be around. Pit bull terriers are discriminated against due to a misconception of the breed itself.
Pit bulls are put through abuse like innocent people get shot for no reason. The abuse of Pit bulls is so bad little children day after day are attacked because of people who abuse them. Pit bulls tend to be the best fighting dog, because of its strength, high pain tolerance, and desire to please it’s owner. The owners of these dogs happen to abuse,torture, and even use them as bait if they're not good fighters. Examples like they're not strong enough or not aggressive, and especially if they won’t kill the other dog. Dog fighting also happens to be a felony in 43 states in the U.S and a misdemeanor in 7 states. Which makes it illegal in all 50
Pit bulls were bred to fight, they are biologically more violent than other dog breeds because they were selectively bred to be that way.
“If somebody is too stupid to understand the fundamental immorality of dog fighting, you’re never going to be able to explain it to him” (Kevin Hench). Most people think that pit bulls have locking jaws. This is false however; no dog breed in the whole world has locking jaws. Dogs are not always aggressive how they are raised and trained determines the behavior of a dog. Dogs have tendencies to be aggressive only if not trained properly. The discrimination against pit bulls is wrong and uncalled for. Pit bulls are not the only culprits of attacks and death to humans. Dog fighting and stray pits are the fault of the people who own them. It is man kind’s job to take care of and be responsible for their dogs. Why should the dogs be punished
As I stated before, Pit bulls and Rottweilers are not more prone to aggression than other dog breeds. In order to prove this, a comparative journal, written by experienced doctors of veterinary medicine, studied the difference in aggression levels of a “nonaggressive” dog
In my opinion, dog fighting is cruel. Although some pit bulls are injured, the winners are forced to fight again, until one gives up. One pit bull was known to be a successful fighter and the owner received $100,000 in a single year. I say it is cruel because the owners use sticks to separate the dog fights and pit bulls don’t deserve to be mistreated. Furthermore, there was a pit bull who resulted dead after 20 stab wounds.
Introduction The Prohibition of alcohol in America, coined as the Noble Experiment, was a nation-wide ban on the sale, production, transportation, and importation of alcohol in place between 1920 and 1933. Supported by members who wanted a “dry state” stating that it was important for health and moral in the society. Fiercely fought against by members of society that preferred a “wet state” and to keep alcohol legalised. The Prohibition lead to many underground Bootleggers and saloons, changing the way society functioned during the 1920s. The Prohibition served as an experiment, the belief that alcohol was the root of all crime; many states banned it in an attempt to curb crime, to control the behaviour of society as a whole, and ultimately
Baseball is America's pastime, and it has been for 147 years now dating back to 1871. And since baseball was founded in 1871 up until today there has been 215,737 games, 295,400 Home Runs, and over 19,180 players. Baseballs history in the United states is very rich and deep but yet the sport has a nasty stigma as being “the boring sport”. Early in the 2016 season a campaign was started to “Make Baseball Fun again” by one of the most dynamic 23 year olds in the game, Bryce harper of the Washington Nationals. The actions that proceed help to show why baseball isn't the “boring sport” and why it's the best game on dirt.
Although some dogfighting owners do get charged like in the case of Michael Vick who got a single felony count, serving 21 months for the feds for having a dogfighting ring on his property. People think pitbulls are born mean and aggressive and that they are only for dog fighting. It’s sad honestly because any person could train any dog to be aggressive and fight but pitbulls are built and look scary so they are mistreated. Victoria Stilwell, a famous dog trainer and dog behavior expert and she wrote in an online article, “Every dog has their own set of personality traits that make them unique, and it’s impossible to predict a dog’s behavior solely on its breed type, because the way a dog is raised and the environment in which he is raised in has a significant impact on behavior, regardless of

The single life-altering event that has happened to me was entering a long-term relationship. Many often wonder how their life has changed when they add another person to it, but for myself, it impacted my life in a very big way. I used to rarely do activities with friends, as I would mostly do activities by myself. I was always okay with being alone, however, when I met my boyfriend everything changed. We started spending every waking minute with each other and doing activities that we equally liked doing. It became more of a partnership than anything. This changed my leisure pattern because now I rely on my partner and what he is doing, as well as plan any and all my activities with him. We take into account each of our similarities
