Why do we pick on the Pitbulls?

Pit bull Appreciation

Pit bulls have been put down for a while. In the beginning of the 20th century, they were the most popular breed of dog in the world. But afterwards, into the end of the 20th century, they were given the title of “Dangerous” and “Killers”. According to the ASPCA website, ” No other breed of dog has experienced as many discrimination's and misconceptions as has the Pit Bull. ” They were deemed the most vicious dog breed on the planet. This is NOT true. They were and still are a very intelligent and loyal breed of dog,and even though their size and looks might intimidate you,they are the perfect family dog.

Myth One:A pit bulls jaw will lock once it has “latched onto” you or another object.This is impossible. Although the pit bull has a strong jaw,as well as many other dogs,it is impossible for the jaw to “Lock” in place. The way this myth came into play was because a pit bull,or any dog trained to attack,is trained to rip and tear.In a video I watched on pit bull fights,they fight to save themselves.They can grab ahold of their opponent by the neck,and kill,yet,so can any other good sized dog,but who is picked as the most dangerous?The pit bull,just because of the past of dog fighting for the breed.

Myth two:Pit bulls are aggressive towards other dogs as well as humans and other animals. Untrue. According to my classmate Jessica,” Pit bulls are not as bad as people make them out to be. I have a three year old pit bull retriever mix named Sadie. She may look aggressive but she’s not. She is the friendliest dog I have ever owned. She has never bitten anybody in my family in less it was a play bite but she knows what hurts and what doesn’t she would never cause anyone or anything any pain not even a fly. And the aggressive towards other animals I have two other dogs and a cat and she doesn’t bother them at all.”Bit bulls only fight when they need to survive,and it is the only was to stay alive.They Don’t fight for their own profit,humans fight for money,but they don’t get hurt,the dogs do.

Myth Three:Pit bulls are a danger to society and should be euthanized for he safety of the community. Why should we kill an innocent animal for being alive?You wouldn’t kill your house pet,your poodle,your german shepherd,Chihuahua.If you wouldn't do that,then why would you kill a pit bull?Just because of their past?In a shelter in texas, out of the 1.4 million dogs euthanized in the shelter, .7 million were pit bull types.That is half for the dogs that were killed.And why you may ask?because nobody wanted them because of what they had heard about them.

Altogether A pit bull is the future wonder dog.They are being trained as seeing eye dogs and they save people and animals.Once,A pit bull saved 30 people,29 dogs,13 horses,and a cat during a flood in south Carolina. If that is not a wonder dog,then what is?A pit bull is just another breed of dog,and no matter what the past of the breed is,they should not be put down just because of what we,we the humans that force the dogs to kill,make the dogs do,for us to make easy money.A pit bull is just another type of dog,and there is no evidence that can make a pit bull any different from all the other dogs.
