Why We Shouldn T Pit Bulls Be Banned

Why Pit Bulls Are Being Banned

Pit Bulls are known for their intelligence, courageousness and obedience. Once refereed to as the “nanny dog” for their good-natured ability to play and interact with children, as well as their loyalty. To some this is their point of view; others see Pit Bulls as viscous, threating, and deadly dogs (Dogs Bite). From coast to coast here in the United States of America and all across the globe, Pit Bulls are being banned. I will be giving facts on both sides of this epic controversy that is becoming a very big situation around the world. The Pit Bull, descendant’s of ancient bulldogs used in England for bull baiting, hence the name “Bull dog” have come along ways. In the sport of bull baiting a bull would

Small towns and certain counties are in the same effect. Internationally, the U.K, Australia, Ireland, Spain, and Canada have joined the movement on banning this breed (Phillips).

If Pit Bulls were banned, then dog owners who wanted dogs that could fight would just train another dog breed, such as German Shepherds, to do the very same thing, and then no progress in safety would be made. We all need to stop blaming the dog, and start blaming the owner. In that case, banning Pit Bulls would really make no progress. We have to see that Pit Bulls are not inherently dangerous (Dog Debate). They have a connotation of being dangerous so more people who want dangerous dogs train them to be this way. Experts agree that with proper training, Pit Bulls are just as safe as any other dog breed (Dog Debate). Just because Pit Bulls attack more than any other dog doesn’t mean that they attack a lot or are dangerous a large length in time.
