Shelters are full of harmless dogs that need a home. It’s beyond me why don’t people feel the need to buy dogs that can potentially kill/seriously harm other dogs and even humans (including children)
Sadly, shelters are full of abandoned pitties and the like :/ People get dogs like they’re fashion accessories, and that becomes more apparent with breeds that are strong and determined enough to cause real damage. There’s a big overlap of wanting to own a dog to look badass, no actual interest in putting any effort into said dog, and a broader antisocial stance.
Yes I’m aware there are pitbulls in shelters also, but imo they should be left there. Even adopting one of those increases their visibility for then other irresponsible people to get the desire to get one. Honestly, if pitbulls were really banned (including the breeding of them) we would get rid of the pitbull problem in one generation. In shelters they could get the attention and care they need from responsible professionals with the adequate training
