Pit Bulls were first bred to bait bulls and bears as a sport back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but soon became more commonly used as house pets due to their friendliness towards people (Brom, 1987-09, p.14). This indeed should open up society’s eyes to Pit Bulls not being an aggressive breed simply because they became more commonly used as pets, and they once represented The United States of America by serving in wars. Many of us base our opinions on what we hear in the media; we hear that Pit Bulls are overly aggressive, prone to biting, and in general should be banned as a breed. The court cases are squarely to blame for this breeds misconception of being a terror. The highest court in Maryland has held that all pit bull and cross-bred pit bull dogs are "inherently dangerous" as a matter of law and imposed strict liability on all persons who own, harbor, or control such dogs if they know or
Tania Mesa. ENGL 135 Research paper A Research paper: The Pit Bull A General Framework Since I have memory, my father has love dogs, and to be more specific Pit Bulls. He has told me many tails about this amazing dog. Over the years, I have learned to understand and also love Pits. The Pit Bull is a dog that generates huge controversies, on the one hand, their popularity is constantly increasing, perhaps more than they really deserve their own characteristics, and secondly, his reputation as a killer, infuse fear in the great majority of the people.
The third reason for choosing this book is its many twists and turns. As a result, once I started I did not put down the book until the end as I kept anticipating the next event. For example, when the angry she-bear was about to claw Arliss and I thought that would be the end of him, Old Yeller suddenly leaped out of a nearby bush and saved the boy. However, when Travis commanded Old Yeller to chase two fighting bulls away and I thought he would obey, he just ran off instead. The atmosphere in the story is both tense and exciting and the plot is well-paced.
For instance, a case study was done by the Supreme Court of Alabama to determine if pit bulls were inherently dangerous. They chose four puppy pit bulls that were rescued from a dog-fighting ring to see if they showed signs of aggression. Their findings were unanimous, the dogs were all safe, happy puppies, even though these dogs had been exposed to fighting they all still passed aggression tests, two were adopted out and the remaining two were put into training at the Alabama Search and Rescue Team. The findings of this case study gave reason for the Alabama Supreme Court (City of Hunstville v. Sheila Tack, et al., 2003) to rule that pit bulls were not inherently dangerous dogs, a landmark achievement for pit bull activists. This was a big stepping-stone because it provided federal acknowledgment that pit bulls were not more aggressive or powerful than other breeds to show any additional concern.
rry funk was born on June 30, 1944 at Canyon, Texas; he was one the great wrestler in WWF history. He started out his career in 1965, working in his fathers Dory Funk Sr’s promotion in Amarillo, Texas. He won the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) world heavy weight championship in 1969 by defeating Jack Brisco, He also introduce hardcore wrestling style, where wrestlers are allowed to use weapon on their opponents, and make them bleed until they give up. Terry Funk may or may not be a good role model for kids, because wrestling is a violent game, which might not be a good thing for kids to watch, and they also use lot of swearing or bad words to their opponent in the ring, but he also be a good role model, because he achieved all his goals, and his hard work full filled all his dream. Therefore, Terry Funk is a good wrestler but not a good role model for kids.
When we hear of horror stories in the media our minds are made up for us without having an informed argument from both sides of the Pit Bull debate. Maligned and legislated against, these dogs need to reclaim their position of trusted symbol of American fidelity. Astonishingly, for most of our history, America’s nickname for Pit Bulls used to be “The Nanny Dog” (Lockport 2011). For many generations, if you had children and wanted to keep them safe you required a pit bull. The Pit Bull was thought of as the most reliable of any breed with children and adults.

In this essay, I will be debating whether Pit bulls should be killed because people train them to kill and fight other dogs. Pit balls were originally bred to hunt wild animals, such as bears and wolves; they have been bred specifically for the strength, attitude, and physical features, which also makes them better fighting dogs, they can also be very friendly, and in the past years they have gained the nick name of ‘nanny dogs’ Firstly, I will explain a reason as to why pit bulls should be allowed to live: they are very loving dogs, and their good temperament with children has awarded them the name of nanny dogs. Pit bulls were tested (along with many other breeds) and were found to be less aggressive than Beagles, 87% of pit bulls passed the test, it is only because of the way that pit bulls are treated and trained that they are as aggressive as they are, also innocent pit bulls are sentenced to death because of the bad reputation humans have earned for them. I will now explain a good reason for the death of pit bulls: it would stop many pit bulls from being abused, having to fight and being killed in an inhumane way, fighting pit bulls are kept in cramped cages, where there is hardly any room to stand, and they can hardly move, they are starved, and only fed enough food to just keep them alive, their cages are never cleaned, so the dog has to live in its own feces for the whole of its life, further more they never see the light of day, so as for exercise they are chained to a running machine for hours on end, and if they stopped, then their bellies were burned on the fast moving machine, they were often beat and burned, all of this fear and anger is built up in the dog, and when they are thrown at another dog, then they begin to take out their anger, and practice what they were bred to do. If the dog loses a fight, then if they weren’t killed during it, then
A lot of young people like pit-bulls because of protection, but some use this animal in another nature. Young adults may use this dog to fight other dogs or to make their money illegally. Pit-bulls have a cross breed which includes bulldogs and a variety of terriers. Pit-bulls were introduced in the 19th century, and there cross breed made them come popular over the years up until now. Some people label a pit-bull to be the most dangerous and violent dog there is to be, but others think pit-bulls are one of the best guard dogs there is.
Back then they had the utmost respect from people and a lot of people in England owned a Staffordshire terrier. They came to America in 1870’s with the name Pit Bull due to owners placing the dogs in a pit and fighting each other to the death. These dogs go by many different names like Pit dog, Pit Bull terrier and American Bull terrier. The American Staffordshire terrier is an A+ breed; “they have amazing strength, very alert, perfect balance, strong powerful head, well-muscled body and outstanding courage” (The Complete Dog Book.
