Writing Prompt #76: Choose an undesirable or misunderstood animal; create an argument for why this animal would make an excellent pet
I’m hated by most
Because of what my ancestors were taught
If seen in certain states I get a shot in my paw
It’s part of the law
I’m seen as dangerous
Without ever being seen acting as such
I just want to be loved
By people like you
I am sweet and kind
I can protect you if you teach me to
I get bigger than some and will always be by your side
I am a pit bull
I’m not dangerous like they say I am
Only when in the wrongs palms
When you first meet me I’m calm
I’m like any other dog in this world
If I’m taught to be nice
Then I’ll be nice
If taught to be aggressive
I’m aggressive
But really I just want to be loved by you
You know love makes us do crazy things
I just wish other states seen it this way
Disclaimer: I know pit bulls aren’t illegal everywhere but they are in some states. I just feel like they shouldn’t be. A poodle can be aggressive if you teach them to be. I just feel like the stigma for this breed is ugly. As someone who has been around pits a lot, I know they are sweet babies that are painted the wrong way. They had some bad people teach them to be bad. That’s not their fault. Wrong is wrong, right is right. If you are taught the wrong way then how you know what is right. Anyways see you next time with another post.
