Pitbulls

“When someone says the name “Pit Bull”, most people either think that of a vicious dog or aware that others think of them that way”.(“The Truth behind the Pit Bull Terrier.”) Most people think that since Pit Bulls have a strong, fierce appearance they are aggressive. Seeing people be afraid of a Pit Bull is upsetting, they 're missing out on so much. There is no other breed that stirs up so much emotion. If you adopt a Pit Bull from a shelter and they are aggressive, then they were most likely abused or abandoned by their past owner.

84% dogs involved in fatal attacks were abused or neglected. Mistreating an animal will make them fearful of humans, therefore, they will feel they have to defend themselves at all times. It will make them mean because people were once mean to them. It is a learned behavior.

If there is more back there and next time you go to a animal shelter or a pet shop and you see that pitbull give it a chance at a better life because you wouldn't want you kid to live that life would you. So why let them live like that it's not fair so all i ask is give them a chance you never know you might find your next best friend.

We can put all these rules into affect and try to stop it in every way that we can, but who's to say it will actually stop? Getting rid of a certain fighting breed, giving dog breeders and animal shelters ways to look for signs of people that fight dogs, and start making it mandatory for dogs to be microchipped are all great ways to prevent the fighting of dogs. The dog fights may not ever go away, but there is a a chance that it could decrease significantly if we put these rules into affect. Dogs don't deserve to be treated like play toys to just hurt and abuse for no reason, dogs are supposed to be loved and cared for. Having a dog is a privilege not a right.

Outsmart your owner. We dogs like to eat and have treats. But there are only two ways we will get them: being a good dog and listening or not being a good dog and not listening until they say “ lets have a treat” (the second choice is much better). This is a lot more fun because you get to see your owner all flustered and frustrated. Don’t let them take away your bone so you must scare them off.

These dogs were kept as pets, guardians, herders, and hunters.

Within the whole dog populace, 6% are that of pit bulls. Whilst they are originally bred as bully dogs, pit bulls transcended the notion and become more welcoming to human care. By the early 1900s, pit bulls are dubbed to be 'nanny dogs ' due to their caring and affectionate nature towards children and the elderly. And one unnoticed truth about dog attacks and pit bulls is that breeds aren’t really a factor if a dog would bite deep or not. The breed isn 't really accepted to be an essential factor in dog attacks, and so the misconception about pit bulls being a crazed dog breed isn 't really factual.

Pit Bulls are not vicious animals. Why are pitbulls feared? These poor animals are beaten, sometimes they are beaten to death. These human beings are making these animals vicious and mean, it’s not the breed that makes them this way, it’s people, humankind destroying these poor animals lives, putting fear and danger in the minds.

BSL stands for “Breed-Specific Legislation”, and the only problem with this is that it bases its reasoning off of the looks of the animal.

The main reason that cities and states pass this law is because there are often multiple cases of dog attacks, and BSL is supposed to improve public safety.

Negative perceptions that individuals form surrounding dogs can have many different negative consequences. These consequences can affect both the dog’s wellbeing as well as their owners.

The behavior of a dog has a lot to do with the way in which they are raised, they are not born as dangerous dogs.
