When most people today see a pit bull, they see it as a monster that could snap at any moment. Something they should protect themselves and their family from; but this is not necessarily true. Is there any man or woman exactly like the last one? A human being's personality along with their capacity for violence is shaped by their past and how they were treated growing up; pit bulls are no different. In today's society, pit bulls are unfairly discriminated against because they are favored in street gangs and dog fighting, leaving a shocking number of loyal and loving dogs homeless or abused. One of the reasons people are so scared of pit bulls is because of their role in street gangs. They are often used as what law enforcement has begun to believe: Are all pit bulls subject to gang life or forced into a fighting ring? No, but it is the dogs that are and have become violent due to their mistreatment that reach the media and lead the public to fear all pit bulls. There are often cases of apartment buildings, rental homes, or even entire cities banning breeds without questions asked. One case that is reaching the media today is that of Moreauville, Louisiana, the city passed a ban that originally stated that anyone who owned a Pittbull (or Rottweiler) had to get rid of their pets before December 1st otherwise the "bad" animals would Done. they will be confiscated for "further disposal" and the owners will be forced to pay a fine. One of the dogs at risk of this ban is Zeus, a pit bull who serves as a therapy dog ​​for his owner O'Hera Owens who has severe neck problems that leave her confined to a brace and a wheelchair. (Greenquist) Zeus is a loving member of his family who is discriminated against just because of his race. Is it fair for a family to lose someone they love just because of another? did the dogs act? Or how the monsters on a leash forced them to act? Zeus is a great example of two things, one that the bans are doing more harm than good and that with the right education pittbulls can be sweet and loving. animals once had the chance, however not all Pitts even have the chance to have a loving home like Zeus: shelters across the country are full of Pitbull terriers who need homes but rarely get them due to They.
