Should pit bulls be banned? Did you know that according to facts.net that pit bulls are #2 in the most affectionate breeds following the golden retriever? 23% percent of the American population wants to ban what the Americans call an "Unruly and nasty beast.” Statistics show that surprisingly this beast is a great nanny dog for kids and is some of the best service dogs. According to many pit bull owners, trainers,& years of scientific research pit bulls should be kept as pets because they aren't naturally aggressive, banning pit bulls won't stop dog attacks and they are loving and great family dogs

First and foremost #1 reason pit bulls should be kept as pets is that they were not bred to be aggressive, they were raised to be aggressive. I can prove this because from pups pal it states in section 2 how pit bulls were raised to fight they were not bred to fight and because of this the dogs were aggressive so when the pups were born they got the aggressive gene not only that the dogs get the stereotype that they are an aggressive and unruly beast. This supports my thesis because it shows how pit bulls were not bred

I can support this because the website ROCKY states “Soft and hard skills that make pitties amazing therapy, guide, and rescue dogs include being Great with children—they’re known as nanny dogs because they get along with children. Pit bulls are protective, gentle, and playful with children.” This evidence shows that pit bulls may not look it but are great dogs to have and to have with your children. This also shows that pit bulls can be trusted and loved by their children. the website Pet finder also states “Pit Bulls are great with children. Pit Bulls are a loyal, people-oriented breed that thrives as part of the family. They are affectionate with both adults and children.” In conclusion, that is why pit bulls are great family and loving
