Persuasive Speech On Pitbulls

Because there are no witnesses how Goochland, Virginia, resident Bethany Lynn Stephens died, her two dogs are the suspects in her death. At a news conference on Friday, investigators disclosed that when Bethany’s father searched for her in an area she often goes, he found her two dogs guarding something.

Look out, run! That is what you might see a Pit Bull, but please stop. Pit Bulls do make splendid pets, since their behavior is a direct reflection of their training. To begin my inaugural paragraph, let’s start out with the preponderant myth. It is that Pit bulls have locking jaws, this is the dominant myth and for a reason. The reason is that it is the most common card used against Pit bulls in the media. Yes, Pit Bulls do have strong jaws, but they do not lock. Pit bulls bite shake, and hold never in that sequence did you hear lock.

Specific Purpose: I will persuade my audience that pit bulls are not a dangerous breed by nature.

When you mention the words Pit Bull, many times people immediately begin talking about the statistics of them attacking other people as well as other dogs. A survey was conducted in 2009 of attack percentages of Pit Bulls compared to other breeds such as Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Chows. Among this survey, the Pit Bull breed scored the lowest with a 0.00125 and the highest being the Rottweiler with a score of 0.00433 (https://defendpitbulls.com/pit-bull-attack-statistics/). On the website Dogsbite.org, it states that Pit-Bulls are the leading culprit in dog attacks, this is just a broad statistic which does not adequately explain whether these attacks were of

On the other side some people don't have the same idea when it comes to this topic they think pitbulls are the most dangerous dog in the world.But it doesn't make sense when a different kind of dog can do the same thing, but i do get it they do have instincts to grab on and not let go. But usually those are the ones who are raised wrong and don't get loved and cared for like other

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to petition against Maryland’s law to identify “Pit Bulls” as a dangerous breed of dog.

The main reason pit bulls attack is because they are mentally unstable, a mixed breed and show overbearing traits, or because they are mistreated by their owners. The public must understand that the three “pit bull breeds were bred for dog fighting and bear and bull-baiting” (PBRC). On the other hand, they were also kept as “nanny dogs” and used for herding cattle. “Pit bulls are ideal for therapy work because of their pleasant nature” (PBRC). These are three of the most stable breeds known to man. They have a very high temperament test score, 86% as of 2010, a lot higher than most breeds. “The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the top 5 most stable breeds in the country” (PBRC). Anyone can see that this is an excellent breed of dog. There are a few things that people should know though. “Pit bulls have a lower Tolerance to dogs, but with any breed, a dog’s tolerance changes as they mature” (PBRC). “Maturity can come late with pit bull breeds” (Villalobos Rescue Center). The reason for this low tolerance is because of their history of dog fighting. It has been bred into them to have the will to fight. Pit bulls usually do not start a fight most of the time, but they will not back down or give up. Due to this, owners must be cautious and attentive.

Pit bulls are that aggressive, in fact they aren’t even actually pit bulls. The dog they call a pit bull is actually an American Pit Bull Terrier. Most of the “pit bulls” that get reported for biting or attacking are

The myth that Pit bulls are inherently vicious is just bias that was invented when using Pitbulls in dog fighting became popular. The truth is, each dog should be judged by its own merits. But broadly speaking, Pit bulls consistently rank above average (an 86.2) in temperment tests conducted by the ATTS (American Temperament Test Society). These tests involve putting the dog through a series of unexpected situations, some involving strangers. The bottom line is, Pit bulls aren’t premeditatively

Pit Bulls are among the top percentage of dog bites across the nation, but it partly due to the misrepresentation. Most handlers just see a similarity to a Pit Bull’s physical appearance and then the dog is classified as such. The media always misrepresents and wrongly accuses Pit Bulls, they are always quick to name the pit bull breed as the attacking dog. The government also does the same thing if a dog has similarities to a Pit Bull, then it is automatically classified as a Pit Bull even if it’s not correct. They don’t care about

I have no knowledge about dogs in general, but according to Chris Nunya (n.d.) A Pitbull is not a guarding breed. Thus, they have to be taught to be vicious towards humans. A well socialized trained Pitbull would never hurt people now other animals are a different story as they were bred as fighting dogs (Nunya, n.d).

(Explanation) They were bred to be fighting machines back in the medieval times to fight large animals twice their size such as bears and bulls. This was entertainment for all the different classes back in the 1800’s. (Stevens, 2015)

Pit bulls are the most misunderstood dog breeds in the world. When people hear the word pit bull they automatically think of dogs fighting and attacking. When people say "pit bull" they're usually referring to a range of breeds and, often, a mixed-breed dog. (Lawrence, C Louisville Magazine Feb 2007) People think they are a very dangerous breed of dog. Because of this, some areas do not allow pit bulls and breeds like them. Pit bulls are the leading culprit of dog bites in America, but on the other hand, they are the gentlest dogs people will ever meet. The National Canine Temperament Testing Association
