...Howe thinks that the law about dangerous dog should be changed. Any dog could be aggressive and attack a person, it depends on how the owners raised it. And it is very hard to say witch dog is a pit-bull, because it could likely be half pit-bull, and if it only half pit-bull should it be put down? It is hard to know the difference. So it is “deed not breed” when the dog has done something wrong it is the owners fault, because they have not raised the dog right. It is only after the dogs that have done something wrong they should be punished, likes humans do. In text 2 Victoria Stilwell says that you should think about getting a dog, especially if you have kids. She does not think small children should be alone with any dog, because their line of vision is lower than adults and dog sees that as a threat. This is not fair to the dog, because it does not understand it. Victoria says that, if you want a dog, do not buy it from any other than a licensed breeders and dog rescue homes, and be sure that the dog is right for you and your family.

...Question 1 Tekst 1: the text “police back new law on killer dogs” by Jamie Doward, is about one police officer who has demanded a change to the law of dangerous dogs because of the dog attack on a five-year-old girl, Ellie Lawrenson. From their point of view the law about dangerous dogs are unclear, outdated and it needs to be renovated. This change of law would not only intentionally target the dogs but more the owners of these dangerous dogs. The man behind this idea is Bernard Hogan-Howe, who reached the decision together with the chief constables. The Kennel Club is pushing for a reform of the dangerous dog law because of the confusion about the Dangerous Dogs Act. They do not want people to see dogs dangerous because of their breed, but based their actions. The Kennel Club’s spokeswoman made a state that “pit bulls have certain traits but in the hands of responsible owners they would not be a danger. The act hasn’t worked; it’s failed to prevent a significant number of attacks. “ Which the RSPCA spokesman agrees with the Kennel Club. Text 2: The text “Jail owners of killer dogs” by Victoria Stilwell, she is against breed-specific legislation, People should stop judging the dog immediately when something this terrible happens, it is not the dog’s fault, the owner should stand with the whole responsibility. The only thing it takes for people to see that, is just a little bit of sense. People make rational decisions like calling for bans on certain...

...Question Presented Under Florida’s dog bite liability statute is a dog owner liable for injuries caused by his dog when he has two signs outside his home warning of potentially dangerous dogs inside the home but he has texted the victim claiming one of the signs is a joke and the dog that did not bite the victim is harmless? Brief Answer Most likely, no. A dog owner is not liable if he prominently places an easily readable sign with the words “Bad Dog” and does not contradict those signs with his words and actions. In this case, the dog owner prominently placed four signs outside of his home and store warning of possibly dangerous dogs on the property. The court will likely find that the victim had enough time to see, read, and understand...

...who are against breed specific legislation of the Pit Bull breeds will be presented. One argument they present is that all dogs can attack and cause fatalities. Pit Bulls attacks are the ones that are published in the media and bring a bad reputation to their name. The cases of other attacks are not highlighted in the media, which is why most individuals feel that Pit Bulls are the only breeds who attack others. Also, the behavior of those who do attack are often influenced by other factors, such as the environment they were raised in. German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Jacks Russell’s, Spaniels, St. Bernard’s, and even Labrador retrievers have all been found to be highly represented in biting incidents (American Veterinary Medical Association). In defense of the higher amount of severe injury or fatalities being caused by Pit Bulls, there are other factors that need to be taken into account before the breed can be blamed.

...because they attack people, attack other dogs, is it because they just look scary or is it because of perspective?? Pit-bulls are no different to other dogs so saying pit-bulls should be banned is like saying all medium to large breeds of dog should be gone. Think about what it's like to have something so meaningful to you taken away for life. This is a feeling pit bull owners endure everyday as their dogs are banned and killed solely on the fact that they are pit bulls. Pit bull banning is extremely wrong because they are harshly punished for no particular reason. There are many pieces of misinformation about them, and this can all be changed if we could only make good alternative decisions. The banning of pit bulls has finally come around after the attempt to ban German Shepard's in the 70's and Doberman Pinschers in the 80's.

...Pit Bull Terriers Bad Dogs or Bad People Pit bull terriers have the reputation of being the most aggressive, and dangerous dogs in the world. Various forms of media displaying injuries to people and animals caused by these canines are common. Sadly, because some of these dogs are aggressive and dangerous, they have all acquired a bad reputation. Those who know them may attribute a Pit bulls aggression to rearing or abuse but because of their reputation, most people think, as I did, that it is just because they are Pit bulls. However, stereotyping a breed is wrong and unfair, but, with all the negative publicity about them, it is an easy trap to fall in. Because of my children's interest, I needed to find out more about them, so I went to the internet, the humane society, and to homes of some of these dogs. There is a lot of negative information, but also many positive and surprising facts. With research and time, I now know them to be loving, loyal, and not aggressive when raised correctly. In the world of canines, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Center for Disease Control, the Humane Society of the United States and the University of Pennsylvania, develop a list from a collaboration of studies that they publish periodically of dog breeds that are considered the most aggressive by nature, in the world. In the past, the study was only for dogs over a certain expected adult weight due to the ability of the dogs to inflict damage because of...

...policing, and riot control where capsaicin is an active ingredient that is found at chilli peppers. It has been used as a means of self defence mostly against rabid dogs, and cases where a victim needs time to escape. Possession and usage of pepper spray in the Philippines for self-defence is legal, and it is freely available in stores. This study itself can statistically bring down cases of rape, rabies and murder related deaths without causing too much physical injury and without permanent damage. B. Significance of the study This study’s significance is already proven in itself. This can be a quick method to evade many forms of danger. This can contribute to public awareness and give a lot of people to defend themselves against aggressors. This pepper spray is a less harmful version of the commercial pepper spray. It triggers pain receptors in the eyes of the aggressor. C. Statement of the Problem This study aims to make improvised pepper spray out of the chilli peppers we mostly find.

... Labeling dogs as vicious, based solely on their breed, is an unfair label because the actions of one dog is unjustly generalized to an entire breed; the media uses isolated instances for sensationalism and ratings; and these both combine to provoke reactionary legislation that imposes regulations selectively on these dogs and their owners. May 2nd, 2012 Christine Spain, the mother of Boston police officer David Lanteigne, was unconscious on train tracks in Shirley, MA. The engineer saw a dog, a pit bull named Lilly, trying to pull a woman off the tracks. After the train finally stopped and authorities arrived to find Lilly standing over her owner Christine. Lilly was taken and rushed to Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. Lilly suffered from some injuries and some trauma to her leg, which eventually had to be amputated. She was rescued 3 years ago prior by her son and given to her to help with her struggle in alcoholism. Her son said, “We saved her life, and she saved my mom’s life” (Phillips). When these dogs become stereotyped as viscous there are so many testaments to show that they are misunderstood and they love their family just like any other breed. There are so many people that are not sure which way is the best way to address this situation. The problem is not the dogs; it is the owners of the dogs. Breed discrimination is not going to fix the problem. Can anyone say that one breed of dog will be aggressive when in all eyes any dog can be that...

...University April 9th , 2016 Dog lovers and professional trainers alike often say there is no such thing as bad dogs, only bad dog owners. Today, the dog that gets the most attention on this topic is the Pit Bull. "The Pit Bull wasn't always synonymous with being a bad dog, by nature, they are in fact very smart, fun loving, and affectionate, thus make great family dogs". (Delise, 2007). But every decade has its ‘bad dog'. Back in the Seventies, the Doberman was the tough guy's dog of choice. In the Eighties, it was the Rottweiler. Since the Nineties, it's been the Pit Bull. The problem is that it's maintained this image a lot longer than other tough dog breeds because they have what behaviorists call ‘a soft temperament.' This means that they are easy to handle and look a lot meaner than they are. There are different reasons why people acquire dogs. Some want a companion or family pet. But there are also people who want guard dogs and a dog that appeals to their dangerous image. "You can train a dog to do anything, even to be nasty and vicious, the biggest problem currently facing Pit Bulls is when people with the wrong intentions get one, they don't know what they are really getting into and can't be bothered with any training. That's when bad situations arise. And as a result, the dog lands in a shelter" (O'Heare, 2014). According to O'Heare (2014), anyone who has a dog has to consider himself or herself the dog's life coach. And if the dog shows any signs of misbehavior...
