As far as I can tell, pit bull owners largely fall into one of two categories:
1. People who see pit bulls as a fashion accessory. These people think it makes them look cool to own a dangerous dog. There's a heavy cross-over between people like this and people who have truck nuts, wear Tap-Out t-shirts, shave too much hair off the sides of their heads etc...These people seem prone to bad decisions, but their decisions to wear tap-out t-shirts do not put me and my family in danger.
2. People who have projected some kind of persecution complex onto a breed of dog. Breeds of dogs are 100% artificial creations of humanity, and humanity has 100% control in not producing more of any specific type of dog. We could easily just stop breeding new pit bulls, without harming any existing pit bulls (other than sterilizing them, which is something all pet owners, not involved in breeding, should do anyways). Strangely enough, these people make "what about the children", yet are specifically arguing for something that is dangerous to children. They are also advocating for bringing more dogs, who no longer have a purpose as dog fighting is illegal, into this world. This is cruel. The dog wants to fight, but then we horribly punish it for fighting. People breeding and acquiring new pit bulls are the only one creating any kind of cruelty towards pit bulls.
