People buy pit bull’s because they want tough dogs that can attack and look mean, so they animal is trained in a manner that promotes this. Training a pit bull to become mean you have to start young and teach it to bite and give it shots that make it mentally deranged, not feeding the pit bull for an amount of time will change the way they gaze upon another dog, because of this they tend to think that the other dog is either food or trying to get the other dog's food, so the animal feels threatened and therefore attacks the dog

Some people blame the dog for being mean, but other people like groups and gangs that support pit bulls and take action, believe it's the owner’s doings. If pit bulls were banned and eventually died off or euthanized, humans who wanted a fighting dog that looked mean and will do everything that their human asks. Humans would just choose another dog that fits a pit bull’s profile. Research has been done and checked and they believe that if pit bulls are banned, german shepherds would be the next “pitbull”. There reasoning for choosing german shepherds is because german shepherds can be trained and they will listen to their human, their weight is 50 lbs up to 80 lbs and sense they're heavier than pit bulls german shepherds are generally even stronger, they are taller than pit bulls, and German shepherds are the smartest dogs in the

    Despite how long Pit Bulls have been around, stories of Pit Bull attacks didn’t begin to pick up steam until the 1980s. This happens to coincide with the reemergence of dog fighting in the United States ( Liddle, 4). So the point on whether the dog breed is necessarily good or bad is still debatable in some cases. From knowing their history of fighting, having the genetic line of fighting, and the attack rates to knowing that the breed is family safe and having emotions to show the caring of the…

    While recently looking up Canadian laws, Animal Rights popped up and seemed very intriguing. From thereon, the Dog Owners Liability Act surfaced and it states “The owner of a dog is liable for damages resulting from a bite or attack by the dog on another person or domestic animal.” This law does make sense that the owner should take the responsibility of their dog because they were the ones who raised the dog to be the way it is but the one sub issue found with this law is the Pit Bull Ban. The total ban on the Pit Bull breed in Ontario is unacceptable because the government shouldn’t be targeting just the one breed because of the actions of several individual dogs, Pit Bulls shouldn’t be treated differently from other breeds, and if the government is already banning a whole breed, what is going to stop them from banning a bunch of other breeds that have the same attack numbers. Throughout this essay, it will be proven that the total ban of Pit Bulls is ridiculous and the law should be revoked.…

    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…
