Should Dogs And Miniature Horses Be Allowed In Public?

Pit Bulls are known worldwide for being inherently dangerous and extremely vicious, but according to the American Temperament Test Society, Inc. 86.8% of American Pit Bull Terriers have passed their temperament tests better than Collies, Golden Retrievers, and Beagles. Many people don’t know that the term “bully breed” refers to more than forty breeds that hail from the same root breed. The history of the Pit Bull goes back to about the nineteenth century, during that time they were used to protect livestock, families, and even children as nannies (the Canine Journal). Today Pit Bulls are used as therapy dogs, police dogs, and of course a simple companion. Many myths about pit bulls circulate, which scares society into believing that they are dangerous to us and our families the question of banning Pit Bulls has been hotly discussed around the world, but banning Pit Bulls will not stop illegal breeding, fighting and distribution of Pit Bulls, other dogs from biting, and the problem will grow. The question of whether or not Pit Bulls should be banned is a hot topic in recent society, but the real question is should Pit Bulls be punished for the actions of their owners, or should laws be enforced at a higher degree.

The rising topic of putting a ban on the owning of “Pit Bulls” has begun to be put in motion in some states while others are now considering it. Allowing this to happen would cause damage to the “Pit Bull” breeds. “Pit Bulls” are not naturally vicious animals, although they are known to be breed for that reason. “Pit Bulls” can be raised to be attack animals just as any other strong dog could using their biological make up. The owners of vicious “Pit Bulls” need to be held responsible for how they treat their dogs. The Biological makeup of the “Pit Bull” does not contribute to their well-known history of violence, it is the owner of the “Pit Bull” that determines their nature and

Throughout all of history, animals have been used for numerous reasons by military organizations across the globe. They have been used for various different purposes from medical research and training, to sniffing out bombs, to protecting soldiers and so on. The questions of are animals useful is not the argument here, its whether is it humane to use animals in nation’s military. While they provide and outstanding service and an incredible advantages, animals can get hurt in the process and some animals spend their entire lives doing work for the military, so should animals be used by the military?

Almost everyone loves the sight of animals, or at least one in particular. We do not mean to think down on animals or take superiority over them, but it is the truth, it happens. Even though it should not happen, it does. Animals and humans should be equal in rights and superiority. We should also stop treating them as if all animals are pets because in reality, wild is wild. Feeding animals as if they are pets, just to get close to them, is

In most places owning a dog or cat is second nature, but what about a tiger, bear or maybe python? Exotic pet ownership is far from having a clear right or wrong answer but it is in need of a ban for both the protection of animal and owner.For exotic pet owners, owning a wild beast insures a sense of power and uniqueness. It is also their way of contributing to the conservation of a species by having a “backup population” once human population growth and habitat destruction has resulted in extinction (Slater 113). But in reality the ownership of wild animals as pets only helps to damage already fragile ecosystems, both the one from which they came from and the new one in which they find themselves. Animals in captivity are also stripped of a natural life in the wild, free of confinement and unsuitable care. Finally, the risk to humans is very large, injuries inflicted from exotic pets are dangerous and possibly deadly. Bans vary from state to state, ranging from no ban to partial ban to complete ban, but even in states with full bans, exotic pet ownership still occurs. Private ownership of an exotic animal as a pet should be banned in the US, due to disruptions in ecosystems, the dangers that wild animals are exposed too, and the risks to the owners of these pets.

Emotional support animals have way less rights than service animals. Emotional support animals are still often considered just pets making them not allowed in most public places with their owner, despite their importance. This is not to say that they are given no rights, there are still laws protecting them and ensuring that people can keep access to their emotional support animals. One of the main rights given to people with these

Humane Society’s all over our nation get 1,500 to 1,600 Pit Bulls every year and only 2 out of 10 find a home, the rest is put down. We all think Pit Bulls are the world’s most aggressive dog breed from the stories media tells about them. This leads to ban laws all over our nation, aggression is the cause of the laws, even though it’s not the dogs fault it’s the poor decisions of the owners. When will Pit Bulls be happy? Is it when they are gone and no longer loved? People should be allowed to own Pit Bulls.

What comes to mind when you hear the word Pit Bull? Some people become struck with fear while others are left grinning from ear to ear. I believe that people should be allowed to keep Pit Bulls as pets.

Work animals, including dogs and horses, have been around for centuries, used for working on the farm or for transportation. In Mark Ostermeier’s article he explains that after World War I, people started training animals, specifically dogs, to escort veterans with disabilities. The 1960’s, is when the first formalized dog training schools started to emerge in America. As service dogs became more prevalent in public places, the public did not understand the training involved for these dogs to do their job. Due to the lack of knowledge of the purpose of a service animal, business owners, corporations and airlines prevented Americans with service dogs from gaining access to public places.

Certainly it is within the realm of possibility for a service miniature horse to lose control and kick a student out of a 4th story window or for a service dog to relieve itself on a computer tower. An example of a service animal gone wrong is when a service pit bull attacked a dog and three people in Yakima, WA, (Pitbull Used as Service Animal Attacks Dog, Three People). While such tragedies do happen, it is important to remember that all actions require some degree of risk and that no political action taken will yield purely favorable results. Moving onto another reason people do not want animals on campus, students and faculty with agrizoophobia (the fear of animals) also have a valid argument against the policy. Unfortunately, every decision made will make some unhappy, and it is up to those in power to weigh how many people will be happy with the decision made versus those who will be unhappy.

Not all service dogs are allowed in all public places. This paper explains all the reasons

There should be certain measures taken to become a service dog. It should not be made as simply as going online, buying a vest and calling a dog a service dog when in reality they are not.

Walking into my final class of the day, I noticed that a fellow student is with a dog. As I got closer to the couple, the urge to pet the animal washed over me. My hands began to itch to feel the fur on my skin and to find the extraordinary spot behind the ear that all dogs love. However, a red vest caught my eyes with the words “SERVICE DOG” and “DO NOT PET” that yelled at me to not go through with my actions. Reluctantly obeying the warnings, I sat down next to the pair with an unaccomplished mission that was put before me. Trying to ignore the desire to pet the dog, another student asked if they could pet the dog. I heard the owner respond with, “I’m sorry. He’s still in training.” After hearing this, I realized that we forget that these dogs are on the job to help out their owners with their medical or mental disabilities and we, the outsiders, only see these dogs for our amusement. By defining what is considered a service animal, what the policies are for college campuses, what these animals are trained specifically for a certain numbers of tasks and we, as students, must respect their job and their owners. However, there are those that abuse the power of the loose definition of a service animal.

The wild, cruel animal is not behind the bars of a cage. He is in front of it.
