Maryland has laws on both rulings against just Pit Bulls and the concept of ‘dangerous dogs’. First we will focus primarily on Maryland’s law against Pit Bulls. Aaron C. Davis, a reporter for the Washington Post, states that “Maryland’s highest court ruled in March [of 2012] that pit bulls…are more dangerous than other breeds” (Davis). Even the media today is biased against Pit Bulls based on the immensely smaller number of media articles reported on non-Pit Bulls versus Pit Bulls.

Under Maryland law as well, there are specific rulings on what deems a dog as a ‘dangerous dog’. Stated in West’s Annotated Code of Maryland, “‘Dangerous dog’ means a dog that: (i) Without provocation has killed or inflicted severe injury on a person” (West). This could relay onto any breed of dog depending on the situation and environment. Because of the Maryland law on Pit Bulls, many Maryland families are facing distress.

Most dogs used for fighting are pit bulls, normally known for their courage and energy. Pit Bulls have unfortunately been exploited by breeders running illegal kennels and by trainers who encourage aggression in their animals by various means: exercise to the point of exhaustion, starvation, beating, and harsh punishment. They beat these animals, feed them hot peppers, feed them gunpowder, and lock them in small closets. They do everything they can to make these animals vicious and mean, so the dogs become powerfully strong and aggressive. Many dogs are found dumped with untreated severe injuries or are tortured or hanged after losing fights. During the dog fighting the dogs themselves are not the only animal victims.
