Do you think that pitbull should be pet or should they be banned. A Lot of people think that pitbull should be banned and should not be pets but why? Why do people think pitbulls should be banned if another dog can do anything a pitbull can do so if they banned pitbulls why don't they banned all dogs. There are many reasons why I think that pitbulls should not be banned. One of the reasons I think that pitbull should not be banned is because they can keep on helping people like the used to or like they do. Pitbulls help a lot of people for different types of reasons,and they were also pets. Some examples that the text said about pitbulls being helpful was,“as working dogs,they were kept as hunters and guardians,as well as herders and pets.’’ …show more content…
Another reason I think pitbull should not be banned is because pitbull used to be popular dogs and they still can.
Pitbulls were even mascots. Something that I found in the text that supports what I wrote was, “Pitbull remained popular during the 1950s and 60s, respected companies used pitbulls as their mascots and in advertising.’’Even some well known people had pitbulls as pets such as “Theodore Roosevelt,Thomas Edison,and helen keller.” One more reason is,I think that pitbulls should not be banned is because they were well know as being a symbol of pride. “Pitbull were first brought to america by english and irish immigrants,they were a respected breed.” Pitbulls were also really helpful in the 1900s they were mostly helpful during wars. One example that the text said was, “In the 1900s, the pitbull was one of the most popular breeds in America. Pitbulls became a symbol of American pride, and their image was used on posters to recruit soldiers during world war
1.” Another reason people think that pitbulls are bad is because, “The media intentionally over-reports incidents involving pitbulls,while keeping silent on attacks committed by do with better reputations, such as labrador”.That is why some people think that pitbulls are so bad because people “over-report.” One more thing is that people just say that pitbull are the only dangers dog like for example “if a dog’s breed is unknown, news media will often call it a pitbull.Consider the the fact that some of our fear derives from what we have been told and not by facts.” This were some reason why i think that pitbulls should not be banned. People can have different opinions about stuff like pitbulls but i think it might just have to do with the owner or if there trained or not but this is just a opinion that someone can have. For this reasons i think that pitbulls should not be banned.
I believe that all people should be allowed to have any type of dog that they want. It’s just odd how people think that pit bulls are dangerous or vicious.
Would you rather have a plan old dog or a pitbull as a pet? Pitbulls should be allowed as pets. Pitbulls are a model for pride,working dogs, and guardians.
Media over exposes anything that has a negative effect on the pit bull breeds. It is their goal to adversely affect said breeds. These atrocious opinions of reporters distort the views of the public, making them think that one breed is a monstrous threat to society and needs to be banned. Breed specific legislation is unlawful and should be prohibited.
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 act known as breed-specific legislation is being debated throughout the United States. Gary J. Patronek, a veterinary doctor, defines breed-specific legislation as a law than “bans, restricts, or imposes conditions on ownership of specific breeds or dogs presumed to pose greater risk of biting people” (788). Breed-specific legislation is commonly debated in communities that have recently experienced a dog-bite related injury or fatality (Patronek, Slater, and Marder 788). However, this law would ban all dogs of the pit bull breed or any related dog based solely on their breed, rather than disposition. Therefore, breed-specific legislation should not be enacted throughout the United States because is biased against pit bulls and is ineffective in reducing dog-bite attacks by ignoring other aggressive dog breeds.
One reason Pit Bulls should not be banned is because they can be very helpful to humans. For example, pit bulls were once kept as hunters and guardians. Today, they are even being used as service dogs for people in need. There was also a pit bull named, Stubby, who saved his entire platoon from a poisonous gas attack. (“Pit Bulls Haven’t Always Had a Bad Rep”). Pit bulls are also great dogs for companionship and to improve your quality of life. As you can see, pit bulls can be useful in many ways.
Pit bulls are believed to have originated in the late 1700’s, when the terriers, typically small dogs bred to catch vermin, were crossbred with bulldogs, a stockier dog whose duty was to catch stray cattle. This produced a dog with a high prey drive with a medium-sized, stocky build and powerful jaws. Contrary to popular belief, the dogs were originally used in the sport of bull-baiting, where dogs would attack the cattle - not other dogs. Since the sport was executed in a pit, the dogs were dubbed ‘pit bulls’ and that name has stuck since. When the sport was banned in 1835, the people who relied on these dogs for an income turned the dogs against each other.
One reason people are so frightened of pitbulls is for their roles in street gangs. They are often used as what law enforcement has begun to deem, Are all pit bulls subjected to the life of gangs or forced into a fighting ring? No, but it is the dogs that are and have become violent because of their mistreatment that get in the media which leads to the public fearing all pit bulls.
Pit Bulls are without a doubt my favorite dog, I adore them. Pit Bulls are very well tempered, loyal, and resilient animals. Bred for big game hunting, Pit Bulls are strong, fierce animals and people who have the wrong intentions for ownership should never own them. I am a strong believer that a potential pet owner should do lots of research before getting any type of animal, without exception. Owners should do as much research before getting a dog as they do in planning for a new home or any other new family member. One of the main things to really think about and understand is your intentions for your selection of an animal with the breeding of the Pit Bull. If you choose a dog with the wrong intentions, specifically a Pit Bull, you will get a dog that behaves aggressively and is dangerous. This owner behavior is what has caused the current plight of the Pit Bull today, where laws have been passed in thirteen states and hundreds of municipalities, as well as every U. S. Military base, banning the ownership of the breed and forcing shelters to euphonize Pit Bulls within 24 hours. These laws are unjust and cruel, and victimize the breed based on the owners’ behavior. I also argue that the blame for the epidemic proportions that the laws have reached is 100% the fault of owners who purposely acquired the Pit Bull with the intention to abuse and fight the dogs, and that these owners are the ones who should be punished, not the dogs. (Davis)
Since then, there has been a constant argument about whether or not this breed should be allowed to be kept as a pet. No one looks at pit bulls as normal dogs anymore. They are viewed as monsters. They have a crazy amount of strength, speed, and stamina. This can be used against them or for them depending on who is debating the issue of their legality.
Should Pit Bulls be banned? Many people will argue that the pit bull breed should be banned due to its vicious and unpredictable nature. There is a belief that they are inherently evil creatures and that they have a genetic predisposition to be destructive killing machines. In many states and cities, this has brought about breed specific legislation. Breed specific legislation bans or regulates the ownership of specific breeds of dogs, which almost always includes pit bulls.
Denver and Miami are among the more than 300 municipalities that ban pit bulls (Tullis 54). One reason that pit bulls are being banned is because of the false ideas that they are violent dogs by nature. Another reason is people’s associate pit bulls with dogfighting and vicious attacks. Although it is true that many people have been attacked by pit bulls, it is unfair to say that pit bulls are the only dogs that attacks people. Debora Bresch of the ASPCA says “laws against individual dog breeds unfairly punish countless dogs that have never caused any trouble”(A Fierce Dog Debate
Why do people think Pit bulls are a bad breed? There are tons of facts about the breed. There’s also some good history about the breed. Where did he pit bull breed come from? Why did the Pitbull get the nickname the nanny dog? Did the breed help in battles? What are some reason they don’t allow this breed in certain towns? Why ban the breed? Pit bulls have great characteristics for the dog. This breed has a good nature. So here are some facts about the breed.
Pitbulls were made to fight, but that does not mean they have to fight. From the time they were created to now people make it seem like they are just a violent killing dog and there not. It’s what get portrayed on the news and social media what makes them seem like a bad dog, but they won’t show the pit bulls that will protect the house or even be a comfort dog for people that have been in war. Pit bulls are so much more than just an attack dog or a do to fight and kill another dog.
Pit Bulls are put down every single day because of fear, However public education will change the negative information. While many believe it is okay to hate Pit bulls, others feel that hating Pit Bulls is wrong because it is based on the rumors and lies from society. I believe that it Pit Bulls are not understood by society, people believe that these dogs are very aggressive and should be illegal. I believe otherwise that Pit Bulls are not aggressive and should be legal. I also believe this because these dogs act the way they do because of the way they are raised up and how they are taught.
After being breed for dog fights, pit bulls are faced with a strong bias towards being banned. People are focusing too much on the past, when pitbulls are actually good dogs. Pit bulls are great, always sticking around to have fun. They’re friendly, frequently wanting to make new friends. And pit bulls are very loving dogs, always striving to please their owners. Pit bulls are great, friendly, and loving dogs, and they should not be banned.
