Someone needs to explain this to me, race realism aside, why would people want a pitbull? What do these dogs offer compared to any other breed?
Is it the pity factor? "oh no one adopted you but you'll be my little angel"
Are they pushed via propaganda to make people want them more than other breeds like the black male + white female in every fucking TV ad?
I just don't get it. These dogs have no reason to be such a large portion of owned dogs.
Generally they are the cheapest dogs at the shelter. The one near me usually ends up giving them away to people who qualify. When you consider a golden puppy goes for a grand and a husky for two from a breeder, that decision starts to make sense. People want a dog like when they were a kid, they remember going with mom and dad to find a collection of healthy safe dogs for 20 dollars, flat fee. Now the humane society has teared pricing, aging abandoned dogs with health issues and a lot of seized abused dogs from Mexicans and blacks. So you take the pit bull puppy, the best of a bad set of options
