Pitbull Animal Abuse

The third factor that BSL ignores is the factor of history. What is the dog’s genealogy and history of ownership? Has it been abused or abandoned? Much like humans, dogs are able to keep these traumatic memories in order to build the personality they upon adoption in present day. According to the Journal of Animal Applied Animal Welfare Science that did a research study on behaviors with dogs who have been abused and those who lived in healthy conditions. It wasn’t a surprise when the dogs who were abused seemed to perform ‘bizarre’ and ‘repetitive’ activities. It isn’t rocket science to think when an animal has a history of being abused that it would keep a stronger stance and enact in a more aggressive manner. This aggressive manner is
Once adopted, it’s never a bad idea to bring a dog old or young to a dog training academy for a couple dollars. No one said owning a dog would be cheap so it’s on the owner to make sure it has all the basic training and necessities it needs. However, states and cities believe that while yes the history of the dog does play a factor in bites and injuries, it is on the owner to care and train the canine not to. The concept is basic and BSL doesn’t remember that pitbull dogs especially originated as hunters and were bred within a dog fighting environment so wired into their brain could be the idea of aggression but in today’s world there are a variety resources that many owners have to make sure the dogs are perfectly behaved but just never take advantage of it, leading to behavioral problems that may cause an actual injury to occur. The National Library of Medicine even briefly states in their article “Will breed-specific legislation reduce dog bites?” that “biting is natural” and that “Owners need to be encouraged to actively work at inhibiting biting behaviour when dogs are young.” This goes back onto the solution from the children and even now with strangers, it is the duty of the owners to give the dog proper training and considering the history of the dog
One of the more specific contributors are definitely morality and how it is the reason some humans are able to bring a dog down and some can’t. Each person has their own individual beliefs and personality contribute as so confiscating the dog in the first place. They are ripped apart from their own family before being thrown into the tight-spaced, cold kennel known as home. Why some may cringe at this idea, some just merely shrug it off as if it was nothing and that is a basis on a person’s morality. Everyday, society is becoming more and more insensitive to inheriting good morals. Many people believe that if it doesn’t affect oneself then why even bother in the first place. If society’s morals were open minded and full-hearted, BSL wouldn’t even have a person to turn to. Yes, they believe it is for the good of humans but why would it be acceptable for criminals to have a chance to live if given the choice but dogs don’t. Canines can’t speak and often humans take advantage of that. Everyday dogs are dying for innocent acts that they didn’t even do but more importantly, only specific breeds are being known to be vicious and ‘deserve’ to be put down. There is no greater threat to society than a person’s own well being and how they treat animals and even wildlife itself because at the end of the day dogs especially are not humans who know exactly how to act and when
