Are Pit Bulls Dangerous? This is a simple question, but with many different responses. According to an opinion poll on the dangers of Pit Bulls done by Peter Moore back in 2014, the results were shocking since most agreed that they are not dangerous. I will discuss how the poll is broken down and also critique how the poll was done.

Are Pit Bulls Dangerous
Pit bulls have always had a bad reputation for years of being a vicious dog breed. Mostly because everything you hear is negative, they have been involved in another attack of a small child or they have a raging temper that leads to destruction. However, with this being said, I know a lot of friends who have pit bulls in their own homes and also around small children. Yes, these animals …show more content…

According to this poll the regions they gathered this information from was the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West of the United States of America. Meanwhile, in getting people across this vast areas to do this poll we asked the following questions: "If you were adopting a dog, would you consider adopting a pit bull?, Say that you knew a family with small children who were considering adopting a dog, would you advise that family in favor of or against a pit bull, or would you not care much either way?, Do you think pit bulls are safe to live in residential neighborhoods, or do you think they're too dangerous to live in residential neighborhoods?, Generally speaking, How dangerous do you think medium-sized dogs are to people and other animals?, Generally speaking, how dangerous do you think pit bulls are to people and other animals?, Which statement comes closer to your opinion?: A) pit bulls are naturally more aggressive than other dogs B) Some dogs are socialized to be aggressive, but pit bulls are no more susceptible than other dogs C) Not sure, and the final question asked is do you think that owning a pit bull should be legal or illegal?"(Yougov, …show more content…

Therefore this makes the results very muggy to decipher. While the results can be broken down by categories I can't say a Hispanic, female age 35 says yes t adopting a pit bull because the results are not organized in this type manner. Leading to the numbers adding up to 100 and yes this is perfectly done, even with it being confusing they took extra time in making this correct. This poll also got 1,000 people to complete this survey giving it an accurate amount of distribution with answers given. All in all it has its pros and cons, with negatives outweighing the positives, this poll could have been better, but with the information that was given and organized I would say it was a successful opinion poll. I know have a deeper insight to how people feel about pit bulls on a deeper level, and just hope this understanding to increase and know pit bulls need love too regardless of their
