    Pit Bulls have been seen as vicious and monstrous dogs for decades and it is hard to change so many people’s minds about something they are set on. People object to adopting Pit Bulls out because they do not know their ‘history’, but to be honest, you don’t know the history of any dog that you adopt from a pound or shelter. In Maddern’s (2014) article, she talks to different people in Newark that have adopted a Pit Bull from a rescue center, like the Humane Society. One of these people was Mike Ossa Jr. Ossa adopted his Pit, Roscoe after returning home from his tour in Afghanistan.…

    Breed Specific Legislation: Why It Is Ineffective Breed-specific legislation is the overall term for laws or ordinances that are set in place to ban or place harsh restrictions on owners of a particular breed of dog or dogs with certain physical characteristics. Approximately 4.5 million dog bites happen each year in the United States and an average of 30 of those attacks are fatal (Dog Bite Statistics 1). With such an alarming amount of incidences many public authorities turn to breed-specific legislation when confronted with the issue of dog attacks, bites or dogs disrupting the community. Debate continues over whether breed-specific legislation proves to be effective or not in reducing the amount of dog-related injuries though. Around the…

    The segregation of humans was a problem that has only in the few hundred years actually been solved; however, now the segregation is not among us humans but rather, through dogs. The pit-bull breed, like any breed was bred for ‘…different jobs over centuries…(Enos 3)’ and as ‘…family companions…(Enos 3).’ Though, in recent years, pit bulls that had once been thrown into rings to kill one another were now being adopted out to families in order to help shelters make room for more dogs in need.

    Most myths regarding pit bulls are based in fear, and almost all of them are proven fallacies. Pit bulls are not the only breed of dog that can have negative, aggressive tendencies based on its upbringing and other circumstances, but certainly an attack on an animal or a person by a pit bull is much more likely to be reported on the news, resulting in the creation of a bad reputation for pit bulls everywhere. Unfortunately, it is this belief that has caused some areas to put out bans on the entire breed. Not until people realize that any animal, even a pit bull, can be a very gentle, kind-hearted partner for life simply by raising the animal in the correct way, will pit bulls finally be rid of the negative and unfair reputation surrounding their…
