how these attitudes had an effect on people’s lives (or animal lives). I am going to use the example of breed discrimination against the Pit Bull Terrier.

I have heard just about every argument involving this breed, including arguments as to why they should be euthanized and so on. I obviously disagree, because I…

You may be scared of pitbulls or scared that they will attack you, but there are multiple facts that could go against your reasoning. Pitbulls should not be stereotyped as a vicious breed of dog. I say this because they actually used to be considered the nanny dog and because pitbulls themselves are not dangerous, they are, unfortunately, trained to fight and be violent the majority of the time. To begin with, pitbulls may be marked as dangerous in present day, but they used to be known as the…

evidence and have put together an argumentative essay on why I don’t support the forbidding of the pitbull breed.
