Pit bulls were imported to America from England in the 1870’s primarily, but not exclusively, for pit fighting. Over the years dog fighting has become a huge issue in the united states and many individuals frown upon it nowadays; because Pit bulls were the number one dogs used for dog fighting, many people believe that this particular breed is the most dangerous of all breeds. In this proposal we are going to focus on the history/misconceptions of Pit bulls, and how we can lessen the fear in people and ourselves when it comes to this particular breed. From the very start Pit bulls never really had the chance to defend themselves. When brought up in the world they were taught to become baiting dogs.
Amy Johnson Mrs. Howard English November 16th 2012 Australian Puppy Mills Australian puppy mills are very common and a constantly growing problem. There are thousands of puppy mills all over Australia. A puppy mill also called puppy farm is literally a farm that constantly produces puppies to sell for the maximum profit available. The conditions of Australian puppy mills is horrendous and the conditions of the dogs are far worse. Thousands of dogs die in puppy mills each year.
In the story of the Evil of Animal “Rights”, the writer tells us that animals are being test every day which causes death to most of them. He says that it is not a right to kill animals. Then, he gives so many evidences to prove using testing animals are extinct. I think, using animals for testing give us new vaccine which makes our lives better. Without animals for testing, where would our lives be going?
In the United States one million animals are slaughtered every hour and around ten billion farm animals will be raised and slaughtered annually. Due to the high demand of meat, almost every animal used in food production has suffered inhumane treatment from overcrowding, confinement,
Pit Bull’s Aggression; Nurtured or Innate? Pit Bulls have a fearsome reputation as killers, attack dogs and receive a lot of negative reactions from the press and the general public. A lot of these connotations may be true in some cases but it is primarily the owner’s fault that their dogs behave as they do. The word "vicious" functions to vindicate the breed and cause a lot of negative reactions from the press and the general public. The phrase; “bred to kill” and “aggressive killer” are thrown around without hesitation from those that are not familiar with the breed.
Fast Food Nation: Cogs in the Great Machine After reading, the meatpacking industry astonishes me in several ways. Iowa Beef Packers (IBP) is one of the biggest meatpacking industries in the United States and in my opinion, cruel to their animals. Meatpacking industries are competitive and personally believe that the industries are mostly concerned with the money. The old Chicago slaughterhouses were usually brick buildings, four or five stories high. Cattle were herded up wooden ramps to the top floor, where they were struck on the head with a sledgehammer, slaughtered, and then disassembled by skilled workers.
By comparison, the total number of sheep lost to predators was 18,300, with 13,900 of them killed by coyotes. 900 were killed by domestic dogs, and 400 were killed by eagles (more than were killed by wolves), but there is no outcry of anger because of those losses. These numbers are typical of every year since the reintroduction of wolves. In fact, the total number of predatory losses has actually decreased steadily since the beginning of available data in 1984 with 51,700 predatory losses, 38,300 of which were killed by coyotes. Even more are lost each year to other causes such as weather or disease, 21,100 in 2012, plus 3,600 dead from unknown causes.
When you think of a slaughterhouse what comes to mind? The dictionary definition of a slaughterhouse is an establishment where animals are butchered mainly for food. For my choice reading assignment I read the novel Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. The novel centers on the life of Billy Pilgrim, Billy is a veteran who lives through what history can argue was the most disastrous bombing of world war two. With a death toll that is assumed to be around 500,000 the Bombing of Dresden is arguably the most disastrous bombing for human life.
Bullfighting is just too dangerous a practice for humans to justify. While some customs posses a positive effect, some customs also posses a negative effect and can even be inhumane. Two examples include the custom of stoning portrayed in Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" and the practice of bullfighting seen in Spanish influenced countries around the world. Bullfighting should be brought to and end because of the violent and cruel nature, the use of murder as entertainment, and due to the potential harm and even death to all parties involved. Society today does not have room for barbaric traditions such as
Some may act out more than others but that’s just their way of showing that they are protectors. These dogs are expensive to get and to have, but it is very well worth it. They are a high performance kind of dog. I now know that raising a dog takes special skill and also a special person but to raise a pit bull takes an even more special person than that. You should have patience and some kind of experience but a lot is not necessary.
