Topics of Discussion

In this blog, I hope to enlighten my audience with some problems or issues dealing with the dog population in today's society. The issues I will debate are; the relationship between a person owning a pet dog and their actual ability to do so, the relationship between the dog's life and their owner forcing them to breed, the relationship between a dog being spayed or neutered and their own way of living, and the relationship between forced dog fighting and the owner's penalty when caught.

Before I discuss my topics, I want to share my own personal opinions. First, I think owning a dog and caring for it is a very rewarding and wonderful experience. One learns responsibility and the importance of being able to take care of something other than themselves. On the subject of a person owning a dog, I think that there are some people who should be banned from being able to have their own dog. Some people are simply not capable of taking the necessary care of a dog and some just do not care enough. On breeding, I feel that an owner should be certified and have special permission. Having a dog spayed or neutered can be a good thing, I think, because in some cases it saves a lot of hassle for outside dogs and sometimes, I have witnessed the process to go to the extent of "calming" the dog's behavior. Finally, I am completely against the idea of dog fighting. I think that people caught forcing dogs to fight should be sentenced just as if they were doing the same thing to a person. Just because a dog cannot speak for themselves they should still be treated with respect because they are living and breathing, just as people.
