Is The Pitbull Dangerous
Dog bite statistics beg the question is a Pitbull dangerous they also put this breed of dog at the top of the list of . This is because a lot of Pitbulls are bred as fighting dog breeds by dog fighting rackets who use this breed of dog purely to make money and run entertainment and gambling for like minded people who really don’t care for these animals. The authorities do what they can but chasing these rackets is like a cat and mouse game and when raids are carried out they go deeper into their underground world and make things even more difficult to catch them.
So is the Pitbull dangerous? I personally know people who own Pitbulls and their dog is just like any other dog; they are friendly, do as their told and you wouldn’t class them as a dangerous dog breed. However these people have taken the time to research how to teach their Pitbull to behave appropriately. This has been done by giving their Pitbull puppy training from the very first day they brought their dog home.
Like all dogs the Pitbull needs direction and leadership, the pitbull temperament is actually a good natured one especially towards humans. So with your family, friends and even strangers the Pitbull, if trained properly, will behave like most dogs do. They are very intelligent dogs and they can hold their nerve, this makes them great with children because they will tolerate child behavior without reacting. If there ever was a dog breed guide on the Pitbull then this is what it should say.
The Pitbull has been branded with the dangerous dog breeds mark because of the irresponsible dog owners out there who tease, torment and mistreat their Pitbull turning them into aggressive time bombs and you only hear on the news of the bad stories about these dogs attacking people.
Is a pitbull dangerous or is the owner dangerous for the Pitbull?
In actual fact I believe we should be targeting these dog owners and punishing them more severely to deter other people from following in their footsteps. Unfortunately as there is a lot of money been made in dog fighting this won’t happen too soon. And as more of these dogs attacks become public knowledge the Pitbull will remain under the scrutiny of the general public and will always be classed as a dangerous dog breed.
If you know of one of these rackets been run in your area you must tell your local Dog Warden or Police and get them to deal with it as soon as possible. Just think the weaker dogs that are bred by these evil people, you know the ones that can’t fight or lose all the time, are used as bait dogs to build the stronger more worthier dogs into fighters. Get these people locked up and don’t ever buy a dog from them as you’ll be opening a Pandora’s box for you, your family and your friends.
And that the Pitbull can make a great pet but you must ensure you train your dog from the beginning and keep the training going throughout their life. You must not buy from a back street dog breeder and you must report these people to your local authority to get them shut down.
I personally don’t believe that the question “Is the Pitbull dangerous?” is the right question to ask and we should be asking “how dod the owner raise the dog”?
