The True Purpose of Pit Bulls: Uncovering Their Heritage
Pit bulls are a breed of dog that were originally bred for bull baiting, a cruel sport in which dogs were pitted against bulls. The dogs were bred to be strong and aggressive, with a powerful bite. Bull baiting was outlawed in England in 1835, but pit bulls continued to be used for fighting other dogs.
Today, pit bulls are still sometimes used for fighting, but they are also popular family pets. They are loyal, affectionate, and protective dogs. However, they require a lot of exercise and training, and they can be dangerous if they are not properly socialized.
