    Pit bulls can bring much entertainment and laughter into the right home. Many family owned pit bulls are silly at times and may sprint around your house just looking for some fun.

    Pit bulls need to learn how to interact with other living things so it does not come as an immense shock to them when they become in a situation where they are surrounded by strangers. According to barksoflove.org, if the pit bull is a young puppy, it needs to be given "daily socialization opportunities with new people and animals...". If raising a pit bull puppy, it is especially important to act while they are still adolescents and instill exceptional behavior in them. However, no matter what age the pit bull is, it needs to have interaction with a variety of animals and people so the dog can learn how to be patient and comfortable around others. Furthermore, it is equally as important for other people to bond with the dog to let them realize that pit bulls are not as intimidating as most believe despite all the stereotypes.…

    While recently looking up Canadian laws, Animal Rights popped up and seemed very intriguing. From thereon, the Dog Owners Liability Act surfaced and it states “The owner of a dog is liable for damages resulting from a bite or attack by the dog on another person or domestic animal.” This law does make sense that the owner should take the responsibility of their dog because they were the ones who raised the dog to be the way it is but the one sub issue found with this law is the Pit Bull Ban. The total ban on the Pit Bull breed in Ontario is unacceptable because the government shouldn’t be targeting just the one breed because of the actions of several individual dogs, Pit Bulls shouldn’t be treated differently from other breeds, and if the government is already banning a whole breed, what is going to stop them from banning a bunch of other breeds that have the same attack numbers. Throughout this essay, it will be proven that the total ban of Pit Bulls is ridiculous and the law should be revoked.…

    Why do people think pitbulls are so dangerous? Why do they want them banned from the country? Maybe the reason they attack people is because they are trained poorly or maybe people forced them to do bad things for their own biding. Yes, it's true that pitbulls can sometimes be detrimental but they can also be loyal, caring, and they generally love people. Pit bulls should be allowed to stay with their owners and the owners should be responsible and respectful to their dogs.…

    The reason a lot of bad people used these dogs is because they 're so loyal and they want to please their owner, so if the owner says to do something or the dog is trained a certain way, it 's going to do it. This is another reason these dogs are feared . What a lot of people hear is that Pit Bulls are born and meant to be fighting dogs and because of all media these myths spread real quick, and then you have this breed that is being bred all around the world and used for the wrong things. Truth be told, this is not what Pits are meant for, according to “Pitbull Myths”, “This breed is routinely used for: obedience trialing, conformation showing, weight pull, Schutzhund (a German sport which requires dogs to perform in obedience, tracking and protection phases of a competition), agility, and have even been known to…

    This mainly comes from what the media puts out about them. As it is stated in, "The Media and the Pit Bull," by James Cross, 'the media intentionally over reports incidents involving Pit Bulls, while keeping silent on attacks committed be dogs with better reputations.' Also stated in that source, 'According to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), news outlets consistently tell animal control officers they will not cover a dog attack unless it involves a Pit Bull.' Both of these statements show that the media is the main reason that Pit Bulls have a lousy reputation. All of my experiences with Pit Bulls, and I have a quite a lot of them, they have been some of the most pleasant dogs I have ever met.…

    Most myths regarding pit bulls are based in fear, and almost all of them are proven fallacies. Pit bulls are not the only breed of dog that can have negative, aggressive tendencies based on its upbringing and other circumstances, but certainly an attack on an animal or a person by a pit bull is much more likely to be reported on the news, resulting in the creation of a bad reputation for pit bulls everywhere. Unfortunately, it is this belief that has caused some areas to put out bans on the entire breed. Not until people realize that any animal, even a pit bull, can be a very gentle, kind-hearted partner for life simply by raising the animal in the correct way, will pit bulls finally be rid of the negative and unfair reputation surrounding their…

    Pit Bulls Should Not Be Banned Pit bulls are often called violent dogs. They are stigmatized as the breed often known as fighting dogs. These dogs are singled out to be restrained or banned and are put to death just for their breed. In Lafayette, Louisiana, two men were arrested for dog fighting and fifty-seven pit bulls were confiscated. Some of the confiscated dogs had scars from fighting, and just because of the breed’s reputation, all of the dogs were considered dangerous.…
