My Proposal The article on pit bulls has a lot of information. The article includes the history, socialization, ownership risks, studies, BSL, commercial restrictions and notable pit bulls. I feel that the socialization, ownership risks, studies, BSL, commercial restrictions and notable pit bulls sections need a little bit more added to them. My proposal is to explain why the pit bulls may have bit someone and how any dog can bite and be considered vicious not solely pit bulls. I would also like to include more information about pitbulls doing good things in the news during recent times. Showing how they save lives but most of the life saving stories are never broadcasted on the news. News channels tend to only publicize the negative things. I would like to add more statistics. First, I plan to add citations so that any current information is not removed or wrongly edited. Secondly, I plan to add new information to this article about how other breeds in the past have been involved in situations of dog bites and have been noted as an aggressive breed. Lastly, I will try to get into the real risks of owning a “high-risk” breed as well as help list some solutions for these issues.

I am still going to be finding more websites to show the statistics on breeds seen as vicious. I will also be searching for more explanations on risks and solutions.
