    There’s also people who just want a strong, violent dog for various reasons and pit bulls fit that bill pretty well. They’re large, strong, persistent, and the person is a shit tier person who will likely beat the animal.

      Yeah, I don’t disagree with that, but that’s a problem with the owner and not the breed. If the breed were outlawed, all it would do is get a lot of dogs who don’t deserve to be put down, put down; and those kinds of assholes would just get a doberman, a rottweiler, or any other number of large, strong breeds they can mistreat and neglect into being a menace to society. The fact of the matter is that shitty people are the root cause of the problem, and we don’t hold the owner accountable enough when a dog bites.
