A local child had been mauled to death by his family dog, a pit-bull. The attack enraged the community and drove the local government to ban pit-bulls from the city. Several days after the boy’s death, details about the events leading up to the attack quietly emerged on the back pages of local newspapers. The “family dog” actually belonged to someone else; a neighborhood teenager had stolen the male pit-bull a month earlier from its owner’s backyard. There was speculation that the teen may have abused the pit bull in hopes of turning him into a fighting dog. The teenager feared being caught, so he offered the dog for sale on the street.

People need to see that the owner is to blame for not disciplining the dog right. Del Crookes states “nearly 5,000 dogs have been seized by the police in the last three years because they’re suspected of being a banned breed.” In 1987 in California, a pit bull guarding a marijuana crop mauled and killed a two year old boy. Because of this many people started ranting about how you should beware of pit bulls, and that’s where I see it wrong. It wasn’t the pit bulls fault that his owner was a bad person being a drug dealer and all. Del Crooke states “The Dangerous Dogs Act out laws breeds which are considered aggressive, like pit bull terriers.” The pit bull was trained to bite whoever, and it should be the owner who gets in trouble for being a horrible owner and putting peoples life at risk by raising the dog to be that way. The dogs are the ones who get killed when
