Why are American Pit Bulls so Aggressive? | Q&A Aggression in American Pit Bulls is a complex issue with multiple contributing factors, including genetics, early socialization, training, and environmental factors. While some American Pit Bulls may be prone to aggressive behavior, it is not an inherent trait of the breed, and responsible ownership, positive training, and proper socialization can reduce the likelihood of aggressive behavior in any breed of dog. Long Answer The perception that American Pit Bulls are inherently aggressive is a controversial topic that has been debated for decades. It is important to understand that aggression in dogs is a complex issue, and… READ MORE https://www.doolly.com/qa/why-are-american-pit-bulls-so-aggressive-qa #AmericanPitBull #Aggression #Genetics #Socialization #Training #Environment #BreedSpecificLegislation #DogBehavior #ControversialTopic #ResponsibleOwnership #PositiveReinforcement #PunishmentBasedTraining #Fear #Anxiety #Neglect #Abuse #BreedTraits #DangerousBreeds #Stereotypes #PublicSafety #RiskAssessment #BehaviorModification #Temperament #AnimalWelfare #HumanDogInteractions #Prejudice #Fearfulness #DangerousDogLaws #DogBites why are american pit bulls so aggressive? | why do american pit bulls exhibit aggressive behavior? | what makes american pit bulls aggressive? | are american pit bulls naturally aggressive? | what factors contribute to the aggression in american pit bulls? | are american pit bulls more aggressive than other breeds? | what are the reasons behind the aggressive behavior in american pit bulls? | what causes american pit bulls to be aggressive? | do american pit bulls have a tendency towards aggression? | is aggression an inherent trait in american pit bulls? | what is the source of american pit bulls’ aggression? | is there a genetic component to american pit bulls’ aggression? | how much of american pit bulls’ aggression is due to genetics? https://www.instagram.com/p/CrFW7KnOwue/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is an email from a city councilor I got a few years ago - she was emailing me because our fair city at that time was thinking about breed specific legislation and I was trying to talk her out of it - I was telling her that bsl gives people a false sense of security- yes, you ban one or two breeds and make them extinct - but what about every other breed that also bites and can cause harm? When a person is bit by one of those dogs - where is the justice for those people and what happens to those dogs? And she in her wisdom emailed me back - “so where do we decide what to start banning”? That’s where her mind went to - not that bsl was useless - that legislation should be focused on Individual dogs and whether or not that dog is dangerous - but where do we decide which beeeds are dangerous - this is why we have to be careful the questions we ask people at election time and whether they line up with our personal philosophies- because otherwise mid way through when problems happen - this is the kind of thing that can happen - you suddenly discover that the person you elected wants to exterminate the thing you love most on this earth - off the face of the earth. #reality #bsl #breedspecificlegislation #halifax #novascotia #hrmcouncil #dogkisserinternationalheadquarters (at Dogkisser International Headquarters) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBY3N5xHDh9/?igshid=4u4xxfnmwnpe

#Repost @vegg__ana (@get_repost) ・・・ #Repost @dp4k.m (@get_repost) ・・・ #Repost @denise13dd #bslsucks #banignorancenotpitbulls — A Man in #Denmark was so devastated when authorities seized and euthanized his dog that he took his own life. Dan, whose last name has not been disclosed, was 27 years old. Dan was given just eight days to prove that his dog Zanto was not one of the breeds banned in Denmark, and under #Danishlaw, the burden to prove #dogbreed is placed upon owners. When he was unable to do so, authorities removed Zanto and arranged for him to be killed. Soon after #Zanto was taken, Dan was reported to have overdosed on pain medication. His #dog, Zanto, had been euthanized in adherence with Denmark’s #BreedSpecificLegislation on #PitBulls. #Danishlegislation titled the #DogAct” also dictates that police are required to euthanize dogs that “savage” a person or another dog, but Zanto hadn’t attacked anyone. He was simply considered an #illegalbreed. The Dog Act bans the ownership and breeding of 13 breeds of dogs, including the #PittBullTerrier, #Kangal, #SouthRussianShepherd Dog and #AmericanBulldog. Some breeds have been illegal since 1991, but legislation in 2010 brought the number to 13. “I’m crazy frustrated, and that is why I made the decision to dedicate the day today for one special man,” the blog read. “Namely Dan who took his own life after the police came and took his dog.” #ForeningenFairDogFan, a Facebook page connected to Fair Dog, an association committed to dogs and dog owners, also dedicated their Facebook page to “Dan, his family, friends, and not least Zanto” “This is truly tragic. I hope and pray that the laws of [Denmark] will change,” commented one user on the page. “Denmark is moving in the opposite direction from other European Union countries that have discovered breed discrimination does not work to prevent or reduce dog bite incidents,” says the ALC on its website. #endbsl #sickening #pitbulllove #bslisbs (at New Bedford, Massachusetts)

BSL (Breed Specific Legislation)

            As I like to call it; Bullshit legislation. As stated here from the official ASPCA website this crazy idea for “justice” is based on it is showing no signs of helping any issues at hand. Specific dogs breeds are being banned (discriminated) against and are being targeted by this bullshit legislation. https://www.aspca.org/animal-cruelty/dog-fighting/what-breed-specific-legislation 

It even states that, “The CDC cited, among other problems, the inaccuracy of dog bite data and the difficulty in identifying dog breeds (especially true of mixed-breed dogs). Breed-specific laws are also costly and difficult to enforce.” How does one know what exact type of dog breed they have unless it is actually registered with the American Kennel Association dating back to it’s early ancestry which specifies that dog’s bloodlines? It’s simple… they cannot! That is like looking at a human being and saying, you look dangerous because of your color, and the size of your head, and you need a healthy dose of legislation passed by our government because to us (society), you look “scary” or “dangerous”.

There are over 700 U.S. cities right now who have enacted breed specific laws based solely on how a dog looks, rather than acts. Bullshit! The Federation of Veterinarians of Europe also weighs in on this topic stating that, “To date, no scientific criteria have been identified by which it can be determined that a dog is dangerous by simply describing its racial or other physical parameters.” If you also take a look at the AVMA site (American Veterinary Medical Association)https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/LiteratureReviews/Pages/The-Role-of-Breed-in-Dog-Bite-Risk-and-Prevention.aspx studies have shown that small to medium sized dogs are more likely to bite than bigger breed dogs. Unfortunately, there are many other factors that play a major role in why only the bigger dog breeds get reported like: the media bias, political propaganda, smaller dogs (however more frequent attack humans) are less likely to inflict severe trauma to the bite victim, population sizes within that state/city, and also population statistics of a specific breed.

Follow along for some more interesting blogs about Bullshit legislation… sorry, I meant breed specific legislation.

I’m not sure I’ve ever been ashamed of where I grew up... # I guess Brucey will have to be fitted for a muzzle the next time we visit grandma... if we ever decide to head back up there together. 🙄 I know the last picture is advocating “Pit Bulls” or “bully breeds” specifically by showing the ATTS data, but all dog breed specific legislation is an unnecessary cruelty. . That’s like making the following argument: . Ted Bundy was a brown haired, blue eyed, white guy who did a lot of bad things and hurt a lot of people. We killed Ted Bundy as a result of his wrong doings. Let’s now kill all the blue eyed, brown haired, white men to prevent this travesty from happening again. OR, in a different city someone saying: unless all blue eyed, brown haired, white guys are constantly shackled with a Hannibal Lecter style mask, we can kidnap said man and put him down. . . #logic ? #faulty #pitbull #rotwiller #doberman #dobermanpinscher #breedspecificlegislation #ridiculous #pittieNation #tedbundy (at Kansas City, Missouri)

next sticker for the CHANGE BSL movement in the works 🐶🐾 ⛔️ CHANGE BSL ⛔️ Did you know that over 80% of dogs seized under BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) in the UK are removed from their homes and families not because they have done anything ‘illegal’, but simply because of the way they look. An accusation (true or false) by ANYONE that your dog is “pit bull type” often results in seizure and can cause families and their innocent pets to suffer through the outdated law that is BSL here in the UK. All profits from the sale of this sticker will be donated to one of the numerous wonderful charities that are constantly campaigning and fighting the good fight for these voiceless companions of ours. These charities help families with legal expenses incurred fighting to bring their dogs home. 🐾 PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE 🐶 #endbsl #breedspecificlegislation #ufo #pitbullsdaily #dogsofinstagram #alien #extraterrestrial #dogslife #photooftheday #pitbulllove #pitbullsofinstagram #london #endyulin #stopyulin #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #bully #bullybreed #bullylove #staffy #staffordshirebullterrier #terriersofinstagram #stickers #stickershop @cody_nolove @christymack @sirpatstew (at The World) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUaAO7IIXC0/?utm_medium=tumblr
