    People Should be Allowed to keep Pit Bulls Imagine if someone said that you were too violent to be around even though you never hurt a fly. Welcome to the daily life of America’s most misjudged dog, the pit bull. Pit bulls have a bad reputation because of the types of people who own them and how they are raised. Even though pit bull attack rates are much higher than other breeds does not mean banning them is the answer. A dog is never born mean, the attitude of the dog depends on their owner. So banning pit bulls from specific areas or states would not be fair, nor make much of a change. People should be allowed to keep pit bulls because they are no different compared to other breeds and they are not always mean. Comparing pit bull attacks to other breed attacks is not an accurate study. Pit bulls are one of the most well-known breeds in the world, so it would only make sense for their number of yearly attacks to be higher than less popular breeds (Opposing Views). Even though 232 Americans were killed by pit bulls in the years 2005 to 2015, does not make them the most dangerous breed (“Dog Bite Statistics”). When someone is attacked by a dog, they are worried about so many other things the exact breed cannot always be made out. Since pit bulls are well-known for being aggressive, a lot of times people will accuse the first breed they can think of, making all statistics highly flawed and inaccurate (“Dog Bite Law”). Pit bulls are often thought of to be the strongest dog…

Since this is about bulldogs, writing about their history came to mind, but they were bred to participate in a cruel sport that I would rather forget. Today we have these loveable, loyal, stocky, muscular creatures with a squashed wrinkled face that is…

    between dogs and wolves. For one thing, dogs and wolves are the same species, meaning that a dog and a wolf can produce offspring capable of reproducing. Not only are dogs and wolves similar in appearance, (except when it comes to creatures like Shiz Tsus) but dogs and wolves exhibit similar social behavior.

    practices mainly focus on maximizing productivity and minimizing costs without considering how the animals adapt to industrial like environments (Wiepkema, 1985). These environments do not allow the animal to engage in natural behaviours which would permit the stimulation of genetic behaviour patterns (Lewis, 1999). As a result, these housing practices that pigs are subjected to would cause them to perform vice behaviours (Wiepkema, 1985) since their innate behaviours cannot be executed. Breed…
