At the beginning of The Outcasts of Poker Flat, the character John Oakhurst is introduced as a gambler, who has a calm tone and handsome face, with a compassionate, generous, honorable attitude, along with valuable leadership skills. Throughout the story, John Oakhurst shows qualities of being the strongest and then the weakest character. He shows his noble side when he returns money to Tom Simson, also known as “The Innocent”, after he won a gamble. Mr. Oakhurst considered it to be an unfair match due to Tom’s little experience with gambling and returned his money to Tom and told him to not gamble. However, the town of Poker Flat “a secret committee” gets rid of the improper citizens and Mr. Oakhurst was designated as one of them due to strong and lucky gambling skills.
Local communities are typically the ones who pay for the dog parks to be built, so it would hurt their reputation if community dog parks are being seen as dangerous. The State of Arizona has strict laws for dog bites in order to determine who will be responsible for the expenses of the injury, it could be assumed that these laws would decrease the numbers of dog attacks that occur. The local business Jackson White Attorney at Law gives a list of some of the dog bite laws that Arizona has enforced. The owner of the aggressive dog is responsible for injuries their dog inflicted on another dog or a human, whether they knew about the bite or not. Arizona does not have a one bite policy, which means the dog is liable for any injuries it gave to the other dog, whether it is the first offense or not.
There was no love for these dogs as their fate seemed to only hold darkness and hate(Animal Fighting Case Study: Michael Vick).Dog fighting is a worldwide crime that includes gambling, animal cruelty and horrible futures. Even though many say that a dog is their property, dog fighting is a horrible, cruel sport that should have a harsher punishment because it is animal cruelty and was made by cruel, heartless people who deserve to die a tragic death. Fighting dog owners usually try to save themselves by claiming that ‘the dog is their property, they can do what they want”. As a dog is –technically- one’s property, this claim does have some truth to it.. A fighting dog owner usually pays or adopts the dog, so the dog would be considered legal propertySome people have anger management and this helps them.
The text states, “BSL is ineffective because it treats the result (a dog bite) instead of the cause (bad animal owners)” (ProCon [13]). This explains that it is mostly bad owners that treat the dogs poorly. It gives good information on what really happened and why. In addition, pit bulls are used to dog fighting, which is why they are aggressive sometimes.
Hounds are made to kill anyone that breaks the law. The government doesn 't care if violence is used, its part of life. “A four inch hollow steel needle plugged down from the proboscis of the Hound to inject massive jolts of morphine and procaine.” (Bradbury 22).
In this case, banning a certain breed does not stop bites or attacks from happening. Critics of BSL argue that the law is ineffective, as it does not address the root causes of dogs’ aggression, like irresponsible ownership,
Without it, they will become intolerant of all others except their owner. Training is a crucial part of owning a dog. If all owners took preventative steps, such as training, there would be no problem with vicious dogs. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen and some dogs become vicious. In this scenario, the owner of the dog should be punished instead of the animal, who was only doing what felt natural to
But so are every breed. Pitbulls aren’t even at the top of the list for most likely to bite. Pomeranians are, but Pomeranians aren’t thought to be aggressive or scary because of how small they are, but Pomeranians were bred as guard dogs ("The Truth about Pitbull Aggression.”). Dobermans, Great Dane, and german shepherds are also all breeds who bite more preferentially than pit bulls. A Labrador retriever attacked a woman so badly that she needed a face transplant and there are always one or two deaths caused by huskies every year but no one has tried to ban either of those breeds.
Earlier pitbulls were trained to attack. Mostly large animals such as bulls and bears for baiting, they often bit around the face and head. When baiting became outlawed pitbull owners forced their dogs to fight other dogs. Even though dog fighting is illegal now some irresponsible people make their pits do it, for their pleasure. So at this rate they have a terrible instinct to bite and not let go.
What people have yet to understand is dogs can not be generalized by a breed. Dogs are individual, and do have individual faults genetically and from how they’ve been treated in their lifetime. Its likely that a dog who has experienced trauma in their lifetime will attack unpredictable but the dog nor the breed is at blame for that. Humans need to realize that though our dogs love us and are a part of the family, they are still dogs and not humans. Dogs of any breed will relate human nature to dog nature and may take normal human signals as aggressive dog signals.
If treated in such a way any dog would become aggressive. Dog fighting is one of the greatest evils in the world and has many more consequences than just harming
Dogs should not be executed for biting someone because it could be how they were raised. People raise their dogs to protect them and their family or home. Just because the dog bites the mail man when they bring the mail, does not mean they are mean and should be executed. It means the owner trained the dog to protect the house and they are doing what they were trained to do. Cops raise K9’s to protect the community from danger and they use them to get the suspect and they don’t get executed.
The dog fighting is a bloody activity that happens around the world , including the U.S. In our country, there are lot of activities or issues that lead to the argument throughout the nation. The dog fighting was the culture of our country after the Civil War, but with the cruel and and beastly, this sport becomes illegal and it’s felony over the nation and the territories .The dog fighting effects and harms many ways and many things, especially children, who attends the dog fighting. It also harms the dog fighter, those dogs whose are forced to fight, many dogs were treated badly with the bad conditions of living .
Increasing the severity of animal abuse by giving more prison time and harsher punishment can cut back on crimes such as dog fighting and greyhound racing, which brings drugs, violence and gambling to the areas they are in (Wyoming Tribune-Eagle). With dog fighting being only a misdemeanor and not a felony, the police don 't have the resources or time to put into it to investigate reported cases of it, and with the sentence being so minor, those who make a living off of fighting and racing dogs view a short 6 month sentence and a minor fine as just a sacrifice for the money. It has also been proven that people who harm animals for fun are most likely to move on to larger targets, like humans in the future. Keeping these offenders in prison for a longer time, would place them in a monitored environment for an extended period of time where mental instabilities can be picked up and taken care of before they hurt someone or something else. A lack of laws and regulations also makes it extremely easy for an animal offender, like a dog fighter, to obtain a new animal so that they can continue their abusive
These animals should be taken to animal shelters and taken away from the people who beat them and make them fight. If you ever see a dog walking on the side of the road and it looks like its malnurited then you should do it a favor and take
