Pitbull Aggressive

Pit bulls are a breed that are very misunderstood. We use illegal Pit Bull fighting as organized crime which leads people to think that they are vicious animals, but they are not. Though this breed may be aggressive, they can bring good companionship. Pit Bulls dogs have long been popular family pets, noted for their gentleness, affection and loyalty. “This breed have been characterized by certain physical and behavioral traits.” (Statement on Pit Bulls). Pit bulls have been known to attack people, but it was the owner who has trained them to be like that. As you can see these are some of the effects of Pit Bulls.

Despite the fact that they both came from England, the New England and Chesapeake settlers displayed different characteristics in their societies. The cause of this development originated back to the reasons why they came to America. The Chesapeake settlers came looking for a religious safe haven while the New Englanders were on a quest for raw materials. With two distinct outlooks, their societies grew with differences in foundations, social formation, and economic systems.

In fact not all pit bulls are mean. They can be nice if you let them. If you be nice they will be most likely

Additionally, Pit bulls are/ were created to protect, bull baiting, or to cage fighting. Pit bulls are just used to being aggressive and/ or being provoked. It might not be the dog but the owner. A dog that is chained up, not fed, or doesn’t

People in the public are lead to believe that Pit Bulls are bred only as fighting dogs and that they are aggressive to other dogs and humans. It is unfortunately true that some Pit Bulls are bred for fighting but, not all are. There is a small percentage overall of Pit Bulls that are used as fighting dogs, mostly Pit Bulls are family dogs. “Some pit bulls were selected and bred for their fighting ability. That means that they may be more likely than other breeds to fight with dogs. It doesn’t mean that they can’t be around other dogs or that they’re unpredictably aggressive. Other pit bulls were specifically bred for work and companionship. These dogs have long been popular family pets, noted for their gentleness, affection and loyalty.” (Position). This states that not all Pit Bulls are threatening and have a desire to fight. I believe that dog fighting is wrong and should be illegal throughout the United States. Dog fighting is a very popular underground form of entertainment.

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.

The fighting alone is abuse, but the prepping for the fight itself is even more horrifying. Pit Bulls spend their lives in a small cage cooped up in filthy conditions. Trainers add weights to the Pit Bulls chain to strengthen the dogs upper body. The Pit Bulls are beaten and starved to increase their aggressiveness. Trainers force the Pit Bull to kill cats or rabbits as form of training to practice for the real deal. After fifteen months of training, the Pit Bull will participate in a "roll" where the Pit Bull fights another for ten minutes to test and seeif the dog is worth the trainers time anymore. If not, the dog is neglected or killed (Silverman 4). This a prime example that people are the problem, not the breed. Some may argue that the American Pit Bull Terrier was bred to fight and attack people; however, it is the trainers who abuse and neglect the breed to make the breed trust no one. Through proper training from a professional trainer, the Pit Bull attacks would go down.

First off, Pit bull is not one certain breed but a group of different breeds which includes the American Pit Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and lastly the Staffordshire Terrier. So let’s stick to the American Pit Bull as it is the most popular amongst Pit bulls. But no matter which breed I choose the results don’t change, no breed is a bad breed, there are only bad owners.

A pit bulls actions can be determined by the way they are raise, you just happen to see all the bad stuff on the news.

Owning a pit bull in today’s day and age has one of two reactions: Either the person loves them or is terrified of them. There are so many myths about Pit Bulls and they are just that. Myths. Some of the myths that surround pit bulls are that they have “lock jaw” and they have a killer instinct that does not stop at just killing other animals.

There are ways to avoid incidents when in contact with these animals. When approached by a pit bull always remain calm, approach the dog slowly from the side not from the back. Do not provoke the dog - always ask the owners to pet the dog first. If an aggressive dog approaches you do not panic, give the dog firm commands like sit, stay, and easy, then back away slowly.

Isolated dogs can become vicious and dangerous so be cautious when in contact with a not so friendly dog. (Skloot, R Aug 2007 Prevention Vol.59, Issue 8 Pgs. 196-198)

I am strongly against the legalization of recreational marijuana. The first reason why I am against weed is because there are already enough drugs running rampant throughout our nation, we don't need to add a legal drug on top of that. The second reason is because weed is an addictive substance and even if you try and control the system some are going to find ways to take advantage of it. Right now some people are taking advantage of the non-weed states and smuggling weed in to sell for high prices since our areas are extremely under saturated. If we legalize weed people will still take advantage of the system, it will just be more dramatic. The third reason why I am anti-legalization is because DUI’s are already a serious enough problem, but
