    Dogs from breeders are typically young, unsocialized, puppies with little knowledge of how to act in the real world (Stilwell).

Inbreeding does not provide the offspring of a mated pair with the substantial genetic variation necessary to produce an animal that has a full range of health and behavioral attributes (VetInfo). This means more money will have to go towards paying off medical bills for their…

    Specifically, pit bull bans have been employed and their execution has led to much public dispute about whether or not pit bulls are dangerous and whether or not these laws are efficient in reducing the number of recorded dog attacks—especially those involving pit bulls. Breed specific legislation against pit bulls is immoral and it harms the dogs along with their reputations instead of targeting irresponsible human behaviour as the source of the issue. Breed specific legislation is unethical because it discriminates based on physical appearances. It is important to note that "pit bull" is not an actual breed but rather a word used to describe a group of medium short haired dogs with square heads, short muzzles, wide-set eyes and barrel-like chests. Essentially, breeds commonly classified as pit bulls are the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the American Bulldog, the Presa Canario as well as many others that share the above characteristics (Beyond the Myth: The Truth About Pit Bulls).…

    through Gene Therapy and Selective Breeding Gene Therapy → explain the processes involved Gene therapy is the process of altering an existing gene in the DNA and inserting it into cells in an organism to fix genetic disorders or diseases. In humans, gene therapy is the process in which some of the defect cells or the cells carrying the disease are removed from the body (eg. lung cells in a Cystic Fibrosis patient) in order to harvest their DNA. The base sequence of their DNA is then altered to remove the genetic disorder by deconstructing and reconstructing DNA through techniques such as PCR, ligation and restriction enzymes. The corrected genome is then inserted back into the tissues of the patient in the affected area through viral vectors…
