Dogs Bite!
Imagine knocking on your neighbor's door and then being brutally attacked by a dog half your size when the neighbor opens the door. People shouldn't be allowed to own or keep dangerously aggressive dogs in suburban neighborhoods. There are a few reasons why there shouldn't be aggressive dogs in a suburban neighborhood yard. I am going to argue against the ownership of deadly dogs in residential areas. I will talk about the cons of having this Dangerously aggressive dog. A dog's bark is more dangerous than a dog's bite, but most of us would rather not find out one way or another. Growling, snarling, baring teeth, snapping, and biting are all aggressive behaviors. All these actions are completely unacceptable to humans. Most dogs are protectively, territorially, and possessively aggressive because they are trained to be like this. Trained dogs are found everywhere, especially in Residential Neighborhoods. “West Linn Municipal Code 5.250: Dangerous Dog: Any dog, which bites any human being, or which chronically demonstrates menacing behavior toward human beings. For purposes of this section, “menacing behavior” shall include, but not be limited to, bared of teeth, charging at a victim, growling in a threatening manner or approaching a victim within ten feet while barking.” this is an Oregon animal control law. This code is to protect People and animals from “Aggressive” dogs. Dangerous dogs like these are only appropriate for big lots like 4 acre yards and junkyards, but for residential houses? That is what security systems are for! I usually flinch when a dog slams against a gate and barks violently at me. I Flinch because I was attacked and scared by a large-sized dog. This happened to many other people as well except most of them died. Go to http://www.dogsbite.org/blog-posts-dog-laws-bsl.php and attempt counting all the dog attacks that has happened in the United States. If a dog bites and pierces the flesh of a human above the shoulders then it needs

    Should people be allowed to keep pit bull dogs? Pit bull dogs seem to come up in many news topics, and it always seems to be bad news. Nine times out of ten when a dog is in the news it seems to be bad mouthing pit bulls, the news never shows the good side to the breed, which there are a lot of good things about the dogs. As a owner and someone who know many people who own the breed, I strongly disagree. Every breed has the potential to be aggressive and will at some point have at least one instance that another breed will do something bad. I was skeptical about the breed when I was first given the puppy, but now I would never trade her for the world.…

    As Gladwell states, often dogs involved in attacks have not been raised in a normal loving home. Being isolated on purpose isn’t a life for any living being but instead of changing the dog’s life, not allowing this kind of treatment, we are focusing on eliminating the breed. If we banned all the breeds considered vicious most likely these irresponsible owners will either turn another breed vicious or ignore the…

    Any dog, treated harshly or trained to attack, may bite a person. Any dog can be turned into a dangerous dog. The owner most often is responsible; not the breed, and not the dog. An irresponsible owner or dog handler might create a situation that places another person in danger by a dog, without the dog itself being dangerous, for example: leaving an infant alone with a dog. It is all in how you raise the dog to act and react to people. You could make a Labrador retriever bite and attack someone if that is what you wanted. It is not the breed of the dog that makes them aggressive or more prone to bite, it is the owner. Any individual dog may be a good, loving pet, even though its breed is considered to be likely to bite. A responsible owner can win the love and respect of a dog, no matter what its breed. One cannot look at an individual dog, recognize its breed, and then state whether or not it is going to…

    Why shouldn’t we be allowed to have pit bulls? Pit bulls are actually extremely sweet depending on their owner. The dog I think is never to blame, the owner decides whether to teach the dog right and wrong. The owners are who make them mean and put them in dog fights, it's those people who make it harder for the sweet dogs. There are people with pet tigers and great Danes so why would one dog be excluded from a home with a good owner?…

    Has anyone ever come in contact with a pit bull and felt fear that you were going to be attacked or mauled? I bet at least some of you have. I to was one of those people who thought I was going to be attacked, But after I owned a few I thought differently. Pit Bulls are banned in some state and counties because the government feels that it is the breed’s aggressive behavior is a threat, instead of the owners who made them that way.

    It is a fact — a fact that causes many people to urge all pit bulls to be banned, despite the fact that all families of dogs cause injuries. But all pit bulls should not be banned and put to blame due to the fact that some pit bulls hurt humans and other dogs. Just because one person in a family is a bad person does that mean that all people in that family are bad people. StubbyDog says that pit bulls showing signs of extreme aggression are usually just a problem with the way the owner has raised the dog and/or the way the dog has been treated throughout its life. If your pit bull is prone to aggression, PitBulls: Dogs for Smart People write that it is your job to put your dog on a safe and secure leash and spay or neuter your…

    Essay On Pitbulls

    Any dog of any breed can be aggressive, it just depends on how the owner trains the dog to act in a certain situation. Pit bulls are great at listening and can learn new commands very quickly. If the dog is trained to act a certain way during a situation, they will do as they are taught. The dog’s environment around them can also determine the canines behavior and the way that they act in a certain situation. If a dog has been raised in a bad environment, people cannot expect the dog to interact with others appropriately. Dogs are not like humans and cannot tell the difference between right and…

    Only now have people even considered this issue in Ste. Genevieve, when this should have been thought of the entire time. “A study published in 2010 showed there were 4 times as many dog bite-related visits and 3 times as many hospital stays in rural areas than in urban areas” (Holquist 1). Recently, however, an attack occurred this past summer in Ste. Genevieve, which only now awakened precaution. The town has been having problems with all dog owners, but especially pit bull owners, in regards to keeping them contained. While it is common knowledge that keeping one’s dog contained whether it be on a leash or on the owner's property is the law, many do not abide by this law because they believe that their dog would never harm anyone. While the town considered adopting a sort of BSL law, they decided to keep the laws as they are even though it has been prove to be ineffective. People forget that when dealing with legislation regarding dogs or animals that it is a very sensitive subject and people have immense emotional attachments with their pets. THis makes it more difficult for these laws to be…
