The Pit Bulls Should Be Allowed

Cesar Millan who has his own show on Nat Geo Wild called Cesar 911 works and owns his own pit bulls. He has had a dog named daddy who was raised with Cesar since 4 months old. Cesar had a large pack of dogs so it made daddy well socialized and never aggressive with other dogs. Daddy with two small boys of Cesar’s laying and sleeping on daddy he got the best play time with his kids and was calm and soft with Cesar’s kids. If other dogs were being mean to him he would just walk away and not start anything(Millan). With that in mind I feel that pit bulls are misunderstood and can be very good pets if raised with the correct and proper training. These dogs might look mean and aggressive If the dog is trained by someone to fight they will take the most time to open up.

Pit bulls do not inherit dangerous characteristics, it is the way the owner trains the dog. Every other breed of dogs has bitten a human before. Pit bulls guard people’s houses from burglars and just people in general they guard. Pit bulls are not even in the top five aggressive dogs! The most aggressive breed of dogs is a wiener dog. Pit bulls love adults and children.

Pit Bulls are dangerous and should not be a pet there owners could get attacked by their own dog or killed and they could do nothing about it. They could go and live in the wild so they don’t hurt us. Or we could put them in the pound away from all other dogs so that they are safe. They could also be dangerous to have around they could maybe bite your leg off. Some dogs look like pit bulls when they are not.

pit bulls are sometimes used to get animals or food for you and can protect you from anything, and they are good dogs and won't hurt people unless it is on command or forced to. pit bulls are

In an article done by the American Veterinary Medical Association they said that “ Based on behavioral assessments and owner surveys the breeds that were more aggressive towards people were small to medium- sized dogs (2)”. They mentioned that since they are small they are less likely to inflict serious bite injuries. Pit bull owners deal with dogs with a strong breed stigma, which basically means that they need more time to be played with and attention to them. They are the ones that get the most attention when they are on news stations because they are a bigger breed and the

Before the Civil War, when the first pit bulls came to America by English immigrants, they were a respected breed. They were used as guards and herd pets. In the early 1900’s they were one of the most popular breeds America. They became a symbol of American pride. Their pictures were used to recruit soldiers during World War One. One example of popular pit bulls was Stubby, a pit bull mix, who was a war hero. He once saved his entire platoon by warning them of a poison gas attack.The breed stayed famous in the 1950’s and 60’s. Although they do attack people and get mentioned on the news, other dog attacks

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

Do you think pit bulls should be allowed as pets? I think pit bulls should not be allowed as pets. According to article three pit bulls were included in dangerous and vicious categories. Also pit bulls injure people in major ways and have aggressive behaviors.

Incase we’ve forgotten, all dogs are descendants of the wolf. Somewhere along the line we assumed that because the dog has been domesticated that we no longer have anything to fear. This concept, however, isn’t true. All animals act instinctively, they don’t act accordingly to their training. As long as their owners are present they might behave properly but who is to say how they will act when their owner is no longer present. We have to remember that we all have that flight or fight mode and therefore when faced with fear or danger we might not act logically but instead instinctively. The reasons why a pit bull or any animal may attack are to protect, for territory, possession, out of fear, to defend, for social status, frustration, and when in pain (ASPCA, para. 7-13). The dogs’ wild relatives are territorial and they live in certain areas and defend their land from intruders. Anyone willing to enter will face a charging dog. Dogs are a social species and if left alone they would create small packs of family and other dogs. If one of them

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 not the only breed that bites. This means that any other breed of dog can potentially bite or act violent. You may have seen the statistics for dog bites but many of those charts are unfair and none of them are accurate. It is not possible to calculate a bite rate for a breed [because] mixed breeds are commonly described as purebreds [and] the actual number of bites that occur in a community is not known if they did not result in serious injury. (American Veterinary Medical Association, 1733) Some dog breeds are more patient that others and every dog has a different personality just like people do. Dogs aren’t able to express their feelings using words so if someone like a child or an adult is bothering them, they can only tolerate so much until they snap at you. Any dog would do this if being pushed too much but pit bulls are at a disadvantage because they are much bigger and built stronger so when they attack

Throughout the United States, pit bulls have been banned from multiple cities. A lot of people have given pit bulls an awful reputation. People have trained their dogs to be very aggressive so the pit bulls can fight other pit bulls. Consequently, pit bulls are not like any other dog. They are more than any other dog can be. Pit bulls make great family dogs, they have such high intelligence and the dogs are very responsible and dictate ownership. No dog should be banned from living in a certain place. Dogs are just as important as humans and for the authorities to restrict the animals from living their lives with people who will give them love is wrong. Pit bulls are typically known as attack dogs because they have such a strong history of attacking other dogs and humans. Many people believe it is because of the dog’s breed, but others believe it is the owners and how they train them. To avoid the situation, owners just have to be sure they train the dog the proper way when they are little. Many cities restrict the allowance of pit bulls living there due to the history of their aggression, animal control should make sure the house is a safe environment and occasionally have checkups on the house and owners to check on the dog. A safe environment at home is a place where the animal doesn’t get abused. Pit bulls should not be banned from living in certain places because of their history of aggression.

Firstly, a misconception known by most is that Pit Bulls are aggressive dogs. Pit Bulls are actually less aggressive than people think. Like other dogs, they do not show aggressive behavior without a reason. The most obvious reason is that the dog is in pain or it is scared. People need to realize that these dogs go through so much abuse, and in certain situations they may be aggressive, but only to protect themselves from getting hurt more. People think that Pit Bulls are the most aggressive dog breed and could snap at any moment, but it has not been proven that one

Dog aggression and working dogs have been around for a long time. Many breeds have been taught to herd, protect, retrieve, and search for people, drugs, and bombs. Often times we look at dogs and ask what gender is the dog, the breed, do you plan on mating it? When you think of the pit-bull do you automatically question as to whether it bites? Maybe it is not the dog with the problem, but the people who have the dog that neglects it either with food, bonding and training and they rely on natural instinct. Possibly the dog owner trains the dog only to attack everything that is around it or their dog gets frightened by someone and bites the person that scared it which is often times small children. Many dogs are misunderstood with the American Pit-bull Terrier being at the top of the list. Some feel that this breed of dog has a reputation for being, highly aggressive and extremely dangerous to humans and other animals. However, American Pit-bull Terriers are some of the best dogs a person can own.

Dogs only do what their owners tell them to do. If you want them to protect your home and your children, that is exactly what they will do. If you want them to attack on command, they will listen. However, they could attack someone without being commanded to do so which could cause a problem. Pit-bull have a reputation based on how majority of their owners have taught them. They do not have a good reputation. They were only trying to please the ones who they thought loved them. They did not know what they were doing was wrong. They thought attacking people is what they were supposed to do. The owners just let them be punished as a breed. They attack anyone from a baby to an adult. It is not what they meant to do. It is only what they have been taught to do. It is not too late to save the breed. They can change but people need to focus on the main problem and it is not the dog. Pit-bulls are not the only breed that will attack. You have to provoke or command them to do so. If they do not have a good reason to attack you that is a problem and it should be handled by authority. You should not handle the situation by yourself because it can cause severe injuries. Most of the time it is the owner's fault that the dog attacked someone. This can be because the owner mistreated the
