Pros And Cons For Pit Bull Terriers

“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

When BSL is enacted in a community it gives the citizens a false sense of security. They believe that all the “dangerous” dogs are done away with. Breed-specific laws have a tendency to compromise rather than enhance public safety. When limited animal control resources are used to regulate or ban a certain breed of dog, without regard to behavior, the focus is shifted away from routine, effective enforcement of laws that have the best chance of making our communities safer: dog license laws, leash laws, animal fighting laws, anti-tethering laws, laws facilitating spaying and neutering and laws that require all owners to control their dogs, regardless of breed.

I grew up watching “Pit-Bulls and Parolees” on animal planet, watching and learning about dogs and the Pit Bull breed especially. After years of begging my parents to get a dog, the day finally came. We picked Jackson out from an online rescue center called “Saveabull”. My mom was interested in being an advocate for the breed, so she rescued Jackson to teach others they are not the monsters they are perceived to be on the media. My dad, on the other hand, was not too thrilled with the idea of having a Pit Bull in the house, but he warmed up to it quickly. We rescued Jackson when he was six months old with no information of his previous life and how he was rescued other than he was found on the streets. With this is mind my mom and I made sure

How often do people walk by a place and see someone getting attacked by a pitbull? Pretty much never. So why ban pit bulls from being pets whenever they don’t do anything to anyone? That’s right, they shouldn’t be banned. Pit bulls should be allowed to be pets because they help children and teens with ADHD, they’re not dangerous if raised properly, and banning pit bulls isn’t going to stop all dog bites.

An intense debate follows when the word Pitbull is mentioned. Pit Bulls do not have naturally, dangerous characteristics, yet they are still negatively perceived by people believing they are all aggressive dogs and dangerous to the public. The banning of Pit Bulls has caused the establishments of anti-Pit Bull banning organizations. Moreover, laws that ban this precious breed of dog creates illusions, but not the reality of public safety, which is why Pit Bulls should not be banned anywhere and must be allowed to live in any residential area with their owners.

Specific Purpose Statement: To invite my audience to explore the advantages, disadvantages, and the alternatives associated with breed specific legislation.

Why pit bulls should be banned. Do you think Pit Bulls should be banned because I do. Pit bulls can be very dangerous. Some can also kill you and your dogs so they are very vicious and angry dog. A little girl got attacked by a Pit Bull and had to get three consecutive surgeries.

The controversy over the American Pit Bull Terrier is an ongoing battle that a lot of people continue to fight today. The most common thing associated with Pit Bulls is dog fighting. Probably one of the most common myth about Pit Bulls would be that they originally bred for dog fighting. There’s an odd fact most people tend to not realize about Pit Bulls that were nannies and and helped Americans in the great wars, but people still look at this animals like they are the spawn of the devil. The reputation that society gives these heroic dogs is sad because who knows if the Allies would have won if they didn’t have Pit Bulls helping the fight both the great

Should pit bulls be band or should they stay. I think that they should be band because a lot of time they will fight the other dog or even kill them. ya a lot of times people will think that the pit bull is always the one that they are the ones fighting on tv but a lot of times they are not but most of the time they are.

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

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. Pit bull advocates, such as myself, know that Pit Bulls have always been known as the “nanny dog” throughout history because of how much they love children and their loyalty to their families. Mean or vicious dogs come from ignorant, irresponsible owners. The bottom line is that not all pit bulls are bad.

The ultimate goal of bsl is to ban or eliminate breeds it deems dangerous.

Why does Denver think that discriminating against specific breeds of dogs is any better? Singling out these specific breeds of dogs does not prevent the wrong people from owning them regardless of the law. If you look at both of the shelters in Denver, the Denver Dumb Friends League and the Denver Municipal Animal Shelter, there are still “Pit Bulls” being picked up as strays running the streets, and “Pit Bulls” being removed from their homes because their owners would not comply with the statute, obviously something is not working! There are rules about gun control and who can own them and who cannot, but that does not prevent lawbreakers from having a gun, why would we believe that telling these same people they cannot own a dangerous breed of dog is really not going prevent them from owning one. When you tell someone they are not allowed to have a beloved member of their family they end up breaking the laws and hiding their dog, this causes their dog to become unsocial and yes even possibly aggressive. The government has rules in place so that responsible gun owners can register and comply with the rules placed for their protection, why are dog owners not given the same rights as other citizens of Denver? Breed Specific Legislation is unfair and unjust to all dog lovers
