, however it can be that their owners did not train them properly.
According to Thomas Richardson of Friedl Richardson Trial Lawyers, 28,000 reconstructive surgeries were conducted as a result of dog bites in 2015. This suggests that dogs do not know right from wrong and when they are taught wrong they have that impulsive urge to attack or fight someone or another animal. Therefore, when a dog attacks someone or something it is not always because they are bad dogs.“Any dog regardless of breed, is only as dangerous as its owner allows it to be”.(Ferguson)This suggests that, no dog is dangerous unless their owner trains them to be.Therefore, people need to stop training dogs to fight.
It is true that certain dog breeds have a very bad reputation of attacking and sometimes killing somebody however, it could also be because their leaders did not take full charge so they think they are the superior one of the family. Hannah Morgan, of stuff nation, she is questioning killing all pitbulls in animal shelters. This shows that, Dog shelters should not kill any of their dogs that are currently living there. This is important because, she is saying that there is too much pitbulls in the animal shelters that they are wanting to kill, and that is not okay. “Blood hounds, malamutes, dobermans,
rottweilers and mastiffs have all been considered dangerous breeds in the past.”(Morgan) This shows that, pitbulls are not the only dangerous dog breed that attacks other animals or people. To conclude, dogs will take full charge of their family as if they are the alpha dog in a pack. It is true that certain dog breeds have a very bad reputation of attacking and sometimes killing somebody however, it can also be a form of protection of family and the dogs themselves. According to Amy Brannan “The dangerous dogs act was a law passed in the United Kingdom in 1991 aimed to try to reduce the number of dog attacks by specific breeds.” This shows that, they are saying they are trying to reduce the number of dog attacks, but what they are really doing is killing those dogs that attack someone. This is important because, they are giving false information about what they do to dogs that attack people and that situation will eventually run into problems when they kill a family dog and their owner will sue them or go to court and fight a case. In addition, Brannan states that Pitbull terriers, Japanese Tosas, Dogo Argentina, and Fino Brasileiros are all considered “dangerous” dog breeds. This shows that, Pitbulls, Dobermans German Shepherds, and Rottweilers are not the only dogs that are “dangerous” to society, yet they kill them and not others based on the breed. In Conclusion, a dog that kills someone or something is not always dangerous. In conclusion, there are certain dogs that have a bad reputation of attacking people that trigger their senses that they are going to be attacked. Making owning “dangerous” dogs should not be illegal because they are trying to protect themselves, and when they feel harmed, they attack.
