Persuasive Speech : Dog Fighting Is More Than What It Is A Dog Fight?

This fight leaves the dogs dripping with blood, in pain, weak, and tired. And that is part of the reason why I agree for it being banned. Yet it also shows that the dogs are sting and fight their own battles. The activities that occurred are common nature for dogs. Such instincts date back to their

Preview Statement: I am going to address what the problem with mills are, and the reasons why one should consider adopting a pet instead of buying one from a pet store or a mill.

When I say I have a pit bull does that frighten you? For most people, it does, even though it shouldn’t. I feel the dog restrictions in Shullsburg are limiting the lifestyles for both specific dog breeds as well as their owners. Did you know that in a way pit bulls are not even a breed? There are seven different dog breeds that are classified as pits. My puppy, a terrier, lab, retriever, and pit bull mix, is both loving and affectionate, but because she is part pit bull many already have a bad image plastered in their heads without even meeting her. When uneducated people say bad things about pit bulls, it devastates me. My personal opinion to this topic may be different than yours; however, I’m just asking you to have an open-mind and take into consideration what I am saying. Maybe at the end, you will start to feel why I am so heartbroken by what people have said about this specific breed. When people stereotype a pit bull as “vicious” they are limiting the capabilities as well as opportunities for this breed. My dog has to be muzzled, on a four-foot leash and walked by someone 16 years of age or older. At the

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

Dog fighters say to have the best fighting dog in the arena is to get them while they are young. The reason why dog fighters want the dogs as puppies because, it’s to train them so they can learn when they are small but when they are big for example: if you get a pit bull at an old age they would not be able to use that dog because of the fact that they are already old, weak, and there body just can’t move that fast anymore so they would either bait the pit bull or kill it in some kind of way. According to Heger “during the 1800's dogfights were advertised in national magazines” (Heger, 2). As we see today pit bulls really are the main type of dogs that dog fighters would choose and also bloodlines that could either mix with the breed of pit bulls or other blood lines who are stronger and fiercer. However another thing that Heger points out is that the “dogs are frequently injected with steroids of other illegal drugs, beaten, or starved in an effort to increase aggression” (Heger, 4). This

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

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to petition against Maryland’s law to identify “Pit Bulls” as a dangerous breed of dog.

My first reason is that trained pound dogs should be given to homeless or to disabled children. Think of it the dogs would get homes and the people are happy with a new pet. The disabled children would get a new help of support. Or maybe, wait… Idea!...Hatched!! -quote from fuller house( a TV show), “If we train the pound dogs as service dogs that could help the blind or even the police!” Dogs could be quite helpful if you know how to train them. Dogs need a loving home. That is why I think dogs should be given not killed.

Dogfighting is an inhumane blood sport that usually leaves the losing dog brutally killed by the owner, or suffering even more pain through beating, hanging, drowning or electrocution. Some people feel passionately against dog fighting and have utilized platforms such as letters, news articles, and speeches to speak out about it. Cheryl Durst, Ashley Southall, and Michael Vick utilize imagery to appeal to readers’ emotions as well as their established statuses to institute a sense of credibility with their audience.

Although men and women would gamble frequently, they would also play a game known as Bear and Bull baiting. In Elizabethan England, nearly every town has had a baiting ring. Even Queen Elizabeth spent her afternoons watching fights for entertainment. Bulldogs were trained to attack chained bulls, they stayed bated for an hour while the dogs were able to attack them, they would be tied up and would not be able to fight back. The people would make a hole to put the bull in and tie them up so they could be tortured while the Bulldogs would attack. Before the fight began, they would put pepper in the bull’s nose to infuriate them. In that time Bulldogs were only bred for this sport. Dog fights have been going on ever since and it eventually became

Dog fighting is one of the worst kind of animal cruelty because people just raise these dogs to fight. Once their dog wins the fight and it is useless, they just throw the dog on the side of the road to die. People make their dogs stronger by making them run around 5-8 miles a day on a treadmill and sometimes they put weights on the dog collar so there legs will be more strong (Professor Green). The dogs that are forced to fight don’t know what a normal life is so they only

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Denver City Council, today I would like to talk to you about the city of Denver enforcing a dangerous dog law instead of breed specific legislation, because the enforcement of breed specific legislation is not the solution to dangerous dogs in the community. I plan on showing how Denver could change their law to make a difference to the quality of dogs living in this great city.

Most people don't know what illegal dog fighting is let alone knowing that they are actually going on, but they are and because of that, innocent dogs are victims of death. 2 Over 10,000 dogs die each year from illegal dog fighting. People think it is entertaining to watch dogs fight, tons of dogs die each year because of heartless and cruel humans. 1 Are dog fights illegal? Yes all dogfight that are used for money and entertainment is illegal in all 50 states.

Dog fighting is a very cruel thing, and it is happening right under our noses. It is illegal to fight a dog in all fifty states. By being an observer at a dog fight, it is against the law in forty-seven states. So why do people continue this cruel practice? The answer seems to be money. Some people who breed dogs for fighting can sell their puppies for up to two thousand dollars. Even though fighting dogs is making money, it is cruel since pain is inflicted on the dogs; the ASPCA and the Humane Society are trying to prevent this with proper training.

Shouldn’t all animals have the right to live? Dogs could receive and give happiness if they were not put down. Animals do not really have a chance to actually live life.Many places simply do not have enough room for all of the animals, so they resort to euthanasia to control the population. There are many dogs and cats that are euthanized only because they take up room.
