The Ban on the Pit bull in Ontario
What exactly is a Pit bull and why are they so feared? Pit bulls were originally bred as fighting pit dogs. This was a brutal fight to the death between two very aggressive and powerful dogs. Many breeders believe that pound for pound, pit bulls are probably the strongest canine in the world, as well as the most athletic. Pit bulls have also become popular with the subculture of the urban world where so called “thugs” have adopted them for a tougher reputation and power over weaker individuals. Herein is where the problem lies; with their bad reputation, and fear instilled in those who are not educated about these animals, the Pit bull has become a hated breed. The ban on Pit bulls had hindered the lives of Pit bull owners, creating a stigma so harsh that people will even cross the street when they see one coming. The real solution can only come from proper training and disallowing irresponsible individuals to own such powerful and loyal dogs.
