Did you know that your pet could be in danger? There's a vote going around to ban aggressive dog breeds. The reason for this is that people think that some dog breeds are too aggressive, and should be taken away from owners worldwide. But this isn’t true. Studies have shown that no dog is inherently aggressive, and that any dog can be trained to be just as aggressive. Most of the time, the environment has more of an effect on a dog’s nature. Most dogs are aggressive because of their environment, or neglect. Pit bulls are not exclusive to aggression, any dog can be aggressive. Even a Labrador can be trained to be just as aggressive as a pit bull or any other dog. This supports my reasoning because it explains how pit bulls are not inherently …show more content…
At its core, BSL discriminates against dogs like pit bulls and Rottweilers based on perceived stereotypes about these breeds being inherently vicious or dangerous. However, numerous professional organizations have found no evidence that any breeds are disproportionately prone to aggression. A dog's propensity for violence stems from factors such as abuse, lack of socialization, and irresponsible ownership and breeding practices. Families with well-cared for, properly trained dogs fall victim to BSL simply due to the animals' physical characteristics. Enforcement of breed bans also faces major practical hurdles. Pit bulls are often hated because they attack anything and everyone. If any dog can be trained to be aggressive, then why are only pit bulls being banned? This explains my first reason because it tells the reader that pit bulls shouldn’t be exclusive to aggression and that no dogs should be banned. Since the majority of dogs are mixed-breeds, it is extremely difficult for law enforcement and animal control officers to accurately identify a dog's breed through visual inspection alone. This leads to inconsistent, subjective enforcement and many innocent family pets being needlessly confiscated or euthanized for their perceived heritage rather than any demonstrated
The pit bull is one of the most feared, misunderstood, and abused breed of dog. Some commonly known reasons that they are considered to be so dangerous is because of their tendency to "lock their jaws" and their underdevelopment of the skull. Due to how the brain grows, the skull will crush the brain and mess with its function. Although these are only two reasons giving detail as to why one may think pit bulls are dangerous, there are dozens to prove how they are just as friendly as any other breed
are rather “a product of its environment”. The same principle applies to the world’s most misunderstood breed of dog. When you hear the phrase “pit bull”, what do you think of? A savage beast, murdering out of cold blood? A menace to society, lurking the streets, just waiting for its next victim? This couldn’t be further from the truth for most pit bulls. These fantasised versions plague the breed, outlawing them in many cities, states, and even some countries entirely. These bans are called Breed
not that frowned upon? Society has gone so far with this that there are even laws banning pit bulls in certain counties. Fines have been put in place and outrageous insurance policies must be purchased simply to own a dog. A dog is just that, a dog, until someone comes along and makes it into a monster. A dog may be bred to do something and can be trained to do an entirely different thing. For example, pit bulls have been bred to be nanny dogs. They are supposed to protect babies and ultimately care
What words come to mind when one hears the words “pit bull?” How about aggressive, violent, or dangerous? In many cases, this isn’t actually true. Because of the negative media attention for attacks on humans and other dogs that pit bull breeds receive, many Americans place a stigma on pit bulls, tagging them as dangerous and vicious. This stigma typically applies to all pit bulls, not just the ones that are actually dangerous. To remedy the issue of dangerous dogs attacking other beings, the legislative
animals and humans, laws demanding a higher standard of care for animals should be implemented. Bad owners should be punished with their dogs, and good owners should not have to suffer because of another person’s actions. Thousands of innocent dogs would be saved from untimely death each year if the unwarranted and bias killing of them was itself made illegal. Discrimination is a terrible ideal and BSL is just that, and should not be implemented in any county, of any state, in any
Pitbull’s should not be banned in the United States and kept away from other animals and society because of breed specific legislation, to do so would be cruel and unnecessary. Many people, when they think of Pitbull’s, automatically associate them with poverty, crimes, and gangs. however, the truth though, is that many Pitbull’s are either owned by people you know; or, sadly, in shelters, who, because of breed specific legislation, give them only a few short days to live before that are euthanized
