A dog is born with the instincts to feed from their mother, not to kill for food.Even in the wild, an animal abandoned by their mother, will starve to death. It is the mother that teaches it’s child to hunt and kill for food. Last time I checked, domestic dog mother does not teach it’s young to kill for food, it shows them where the food bowl is. Only a dogs owner can teach it to be violent. They are not born with it. It is not instinctual to them. They are not wild, they are domestic…there is a huge difference.
I mean it’s true. One of the main arguments is that Pit Bull’s are wired to be violent. Sorry kids, but they lost that attribute when they became domesticated, not to mention, even in the wild, it is taught. Wild animals are born with the instinct to feed from their mothers, no to hunt for food, they aren’t capable of it.
I mean really, go to a shelter and there are hundreds of dogs, from any breed from Yorkies to a Golden Retrievers that fester violent tendencies and fear towards humans. Why? Because they were abused. Do we blame them for their tendencies, never, in fact, we usually sympathize with them and nurture them trying to correct their experience with humans. But let’s blame the pit bull breed in it’s entirety, because that’s fair. Because that makes sense. Because why would be give them the consideration we give to every other breed.
Last time I check when abuse is abuse. And it’s never accepted. All these statistics say is that Pit Bull are one of the most highly abused breed in the country. Their owners took advantage of the breed, and raised them to be something that live from fear. If anything we should accept this breed with open arms. Teach them that not all humans are evil. Show them that there is something better than abuse, show them that people are to love, not to fear.
