Persuasive Essay On Pitbulls

When you mention the words Pit Bull, many times people immediately begin talking about the statistics of them attacking other people as well as other dogs. A survey was conducted in 2009 of attack percentages of Pit Bulls compared to other breeds such as Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Chows. Among this survey, the Pit Bull breed scored the lowest with a 0.00125 and the highest being the Rottweiler with a score of 0.00433 (https://defendpitbulls.com/pit-bull-attack-statistics/). On the website Dogsbite.org, it states that Pit-Bulls are the leading culprit in dog attacks, this is just a broad statistic which does not adequately explain whether these attacks were of

The main reason pit bulls attack is because they are mentally unstable, a mixed breed and show overbearing traits, or because they are mistreated by their owners. The public must understand that the three “pit bull breeds were bred for dog fighting and bear and bull-baiting” (PBRC). On the other hand, they were also kept as “nanny dogs” and used for herding cattle. “Pit bulls are ideal for therapy work because of their pleasant nature” (PBRC). These are three of the most stable breeds known to man. They have a very high temperament test score, 86% as of 2010, a lot higher than most breeds. “The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the top 5 most stable breeds in the country” (PBRC). Anyone can see that this is an excellent breed of dog. There are a few things that people should know though. “Pit bulls have a lower Tolerance to dogs, but with any breed, a dog’s tolerance changes as they mature” (PBRC). “Maturity can come late with pit bull breeds” (Villalobos Rescue Center). The reason for this low tolerance is because of their history of dog fighting. It has been bred into them to have the will to fight. Pit bulls usually do not start a fight most of the time, but they will not back down or give up. Due to this, owners must be cautious and attentive.

When you see a Pit Bull, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? More times than not, it’s fear. But what comes to my mind is that this is my favorite kind of dog, and that it is very misunderstood and stereotyped by most people thanks to all the negative media. That’s why I’m writing about the truths regarding the American Pit Bull Terrier. They are always talked about as being very aggressive and vicious breed, but in fact they are a gentle companion. I would like to convince the people of Farmers Branch, Texas, that Pit Bull’s deserve to be considered as family pets.

Puppy snuggles and dog kisses are comforting when life is stressful. Dogs are loving to the families they live with and are very compassionate creatures.

Not only are dogs comforting once you get home, the knowledge that your dog

Cesar Millan who has his own show on Nat Geo Wild called Cesar 911 works and owns his own pit bulls. He has had a dog named daddy who was raised with Cesar since 4 months old. Cesar had a large pack of dogs so it made daddy well socialized and never aggressive with other dogs. Daddy with two small boys of Cesar’s laying and sleeping on daddy he got the best play time with his kids and was calm and soft with Cesar’s kids. If other dogs were being mean to him he would just walk away and not start anything(Millan). With that in mind I feel that pit bulls are misunderstood and can be very good pets if raised with the correct and proper training. These dogs might look mean and aggressive If the dog is trained by someone to fight they will take the most time to open up.

Pit Bulls actually make amazing family dogs which shocks some people. This breed is commonly referred to as the nanny dog because of it’s gentle and kind easy going attitude. “ In truth, bully breeds are goofy, loyal, lovey dogs, by and large fantastic with children. In the UK, they were known as “nanny” dogs, and many Victorian illustrations of family life portray a sweet Pit Bull-type dog overseeing his chubby, beribboned charges.” (Frosek). Pit Bulls have been used as family dogs throughout history. In my opinion even mildly agressive Pit Bulls can make good family dogs through training and

“86 percent of fatal canine attacks include an unneutered male, according to the American Humane Society” (Joshua Holland 1). There’s a neighbor that always keeps his pit bull outside on a chain and never let inside, not even during the winter. You never see his master out there playing with him, the only attention that is paid to him is when it’s time to eat. The neighbors could clearly see how the dog was isolated and uncared about, it also had bruises and cuts from where the dog was hit and kicked and abused. Another clear thing was that this dog was not neutered, if it were to get out, then there would be pregnant female dogs with even more pit bulls out there. That dog got loose one day and ran off, no one had heard anything about it for the next couple

Some people believe these dogs are great but according to http://www.city-journal.org these dogs should be feared. “ Pit bull owners had converted the little park into a dog training ground, where they goaded their animals into attacking one another or taught the to hang from branches to strengthen their jaw and their tenacity.” This is how someone raised their dog to be, they either raise them to be fighters or sweet loving animals, it is not their fault.

Some people today have pit bulls as a loving pet in their family; anyone can give them love and attention and they will give it back.

All the Pit bulls I met that were trained well-loved people and they especially loved kids, but most parents have the tendency to pull their kids away from Pit bulls they meet, but then they let their kid go towards other breeds of dogs and the reason they do this is because of the negative way they have seen Pit bulls portrayed. My Pit bull was able to disprove these false assumptions made on his breed by proving to people that where you come from doesn't define you, but how you treat people does.

When I found out that I was pregnant, a few people that I had known suggested that I get rid of my dogs because they were going to kill my baby. These people were bias against pit bulls only
