...Should people be allowed to keep pitbulls as pets?” I will be talking about why pit bulls should not be allowed to be kept as pets. My first reason is because most people say that pitbulls are vicious dogs and that they are dangerous and are not safe animals to keep as pets. People say that pitbulls are vicious because in a newspaper article “Miami-Dade County Votes to Keep Pit Bulls Out” in this article it states that a neighbor pitbull had escaped from the house and viciously attacked an 8 year old which ended up with her having to have multiple major reconstructive surgeries in the years following the incident. My second reason why pit bulls should not be pets is because they are dangerous and are not allowed to be in social places because...

For example, in Source 4 it talks about how they attack if there's a problem. One of the quotes is. Other breeds of dogs can attack people, these incidents go unmentioned in the news, even at the local level. They can also protect you by their barking. Their loud barking can intimidate other people or predators and scare them away. Another reason why they can protect you is because they are one of the “ Breeds” that are one of the strongest and buffest pets ever. Their strongest and buffness can already tell the other person or predator to not mess with them because they will know to not mess with you. For the most part, this is the reason why we should allow Pit Bulls as pets....

...affected many families and pets. BSL is a law which is passed by many states and countries which ban and regulate certain breeds in the hope of reducing dog bites and to make communities safer. BSL started in the 1980’s as many people were frustrated with the number of dog bites by pitbull type dogs in their communities. American pitbull terrier, American staffordshire terrier, staffordshire bull terriers, and English bull terriers, which are most commonly known as “pitbulls” are most affected. To determine if a breed is safe in communities and homes a temperament test is given. As a whole the American pitbull terrier scored an 86.8 percent and scored higher than golden retrievers and collies. According to onegreenplanet.org between 1999 and...

...taken on by CM should include links to the website. In addition, it should have links to compare CM to the top of mind brands to show the comparison and how CM is better. * They need to appeal to men, and focus on the quality and performance rather than the price. * Craft Marine should expand to Florida. According to the case, most buyers care more about quality as opposed to price. Due to this, in order to improve craft marine’s reputation they should bring in JD power and associates. This is a known company that evaluates boats based on quality. This will help Craft Marine get into consumers mind as being a top quality product. More over Craft Marine should also bring in trusted celebrities that use boats a lot. Though this would cost more, the consumers would trust the celebrity, as it is someone who frequently uses boats. AN example could be Pitbull, though he doesn’t use boats often he is viewed favorably, and he could do a music video on the boat. This would make men want to buy the boat, as the boat in the music video is seen as a way to get girls. The major boat buyer is a 30-year-old guy. In addition, Pitbull is a symbol/figure of Florida. Though it would be better to hire a celebrity directly tied to boating. * They should get more involved in luxury trade shows in Florida. In addition, CM needs to partner with distributors and dealers to offer the products in better areas of the store where consumers will notice it more. * They should have interviews...

...There seems to be a new article everyday. Pit bull attacks. You see headlines like “Killer pit bull kills 2 year old!” and “Rabid pit bull kills an old man.” Well the truth of the matter is pit bulls aren't killers and people should be allowed to keep them. In fact pit bulls are great family dogs,not fighter dogs, and are not vicious in the slightest. Pit bulls are a family oriented breed that just want to be loved. They are super loyal. Pit bulls are affectionate towards kids and adults. In fact, in the early 19th century pit bull were called “nanny dogs” because of their kindness and protection of children. They love to be cuddled and petted. A Pit Bull will do almost anything his favorite people ask of him, just to hear their praise. These dogs crave our attention and approval, and are very social with humans. A bad person could use this to their advantage. They can use the pitbulls eagerness to get it to do what they want.

...a set of laws that restricts breeds of dog or completely bans the breed from an area. BSL has banned the American Pit Bull Terrier from multiple states in America, and even some European countries. In this essay I will prove the unnecessity of BSL. This essay will go more in depth on what BSL is all about, it will educate the readers about the American Pit Bull Terrier breed and the pit bull family as a whole, and it will provide possible alternatives. Breed Specific Legislation made its first notable appearance in 1984. “In 1984, a New Mexico town completely banned pit bulls and allowed county officers to confiscate and euthanize the dogs” (animallaw, 2007). BSL was made to try to regulate specific breeds of dogs. Usually, BSL targets breeds that are thought of as dangerous breeds. Proponents of BSL claim that BSL is a great way to reduce the threatening pit bull breed (animallaw, 2007). People who support BSL usually have imagined pit bulls as vicious dogs bred just to fight. BSL is slowly being seen as ineffective laws because leaders of communities are being educated more about pit bulls. Pit bulls are not necessarily a breed of dog. Pit bulls are a category of dogs more than a breed. Pit bull usually groups 3 breeds of dog, “the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT), American Staffordshire Terrier (AMSTAFF), and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier (STAFFIE)” (.understand-a-bull., 2007). Pit bulls have been given a bad reputation because of all the media and press that pit bulls...

...mention of their name as the pit bull. American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) aka Pit Bull brings fear to people because of the amount of human fatalities these dogs are supposedly involved in. The media would have you believe that these deaths are on the rise and is of epidemic proportions with the pit bull being the main perpetrator. An urban legend is that they have Locking jaws and have a super strength bite force. Another myth is that they are aggressive towards people, and go insane. Most people don’t realize is that the term “Pitt bull” is not a breed of dog; it is a group of a certain type of dog. The origin of this breed doesn’t help their reputation. The APBT was bred specifically for the purpose of being the ultimate fighting dog. The breed needed to be quick, agile, strong, determined, aggressive, and able to withstand pain and have a lot of game (to never give up under any situations). What is not known about the APBT is that they were bred NOT to be aggressive toward people. That was one trait that was bred into them, non aggressive towards people. The breeders needed that trait because when breaking up dog fights they didn’t want to get bit. When one dog would bite the handler, one of two things would happen; either that dog would get put down or didn’t get bred again. This was done to keep the bloodline pure. Because of their non aggressiveness towards people, they became one of America favorite dogs for decades. To showcase a few of their credits, are Sergeant...
