Pitbull Ancestry: Uncovering the Purpose Behind Their Breeding
Pit bulls were originally bred in the 19th century in England, Scotland, and Ireland for the cruel and barbaric blood sport of bull baiting. This involved setting dogs on a chained bull and having them attack it for entertainment.
Today, pit bulls are still often used for fighting, despite the fact that it is illegal in most countries. However, many pit bulls are also loving and loyal companions, and they can make great family pets if they are properly trained and socialized.
