Irene's speech about why pitbulls should not be banned.

Hi my name is Irene and I would like tell why Pitbulls should not be banned. I think that banning Pitbulls is stupid because …

The Pitbull has no inherent dangerous characteristics and banning would make no progress in safety.

Pitbull’s do not have the strongest jaws of all dog breeds in fact out of study that included Pitbulls, Rottweilers and German Shepard the Pitbull has the weakest jaws.

 Pitbulls may attack often but this may just be because they are   trained to do so. Some people just buy Pitbulls because they want tough dogs that can attack and be violent.

People who want dangerous dogs train them to be this way .just because Pitbulls attack more than any other dog doesn’t mean they attack a lot or a dangerous amount of time

They are dangerous because they are purposefully trained as a breed to be dangerous. If Pitbulls were banned another dog breed would be trained to be just as dangerous and no progress in safety would be made.

Some pit bulls get bad rap because of their irresponsible owners. We must as a society stop blaming the dog and start blaming the owner.

The average domestic dog has a jaw that can force 320 psi of pressure. In this same study the Pitbull maxed out at only 235 psi. Chihuahua’s have more bite than pitbulls!

With proper training and handling your Pitbull can learn to live peacefully in the company of other dogs and often cats as well.

Ken Howard award winning actor from crossing Jordan was saved by his Pitbull shadow during a medical crisis.

Though Pitbulls are athletic and love to play if they had their druthers they would be sleeping on the couch 24/7.

Pitbulls are very   easy to train all they want to do is please you. As they are so sensitive to your feeling verbal training comes easily with this breed.   

 Here are some facts about why I think Pitbulls should not be banned:

Pitbulls are no more vicious than golden retrievers. 

Pitbulls can’t lock their jaws.      

Pitbulls always test high as one of the most stable breeds of dogs in the country. 

Would you like it if pitbulls were banned and your dog got taken off you?

And that’s why I think pitbulls should not be banned .
