There’s been a lot of pit bull controversy in my area lately. The local indigenous group has been hunting them down after strays killed two kids and an old man from their community. Seems to keep the teenage boys occupied.
People get them thinking they’re badass and don’t bother training them. They can be very stubborn breeds, as most terriers are. And then the idiots just let them maul people’s pets and act shocked when the fucking things get shot or maced in response.
I’m guessing like me, you’re Australian. Because that exactly mirrors the breed here. There isn’t a racism dimension. It is overwhelmingly a fragile masculinity angle.

They’re also very popular with chuds here
People buy these dogs the same way they buy guns, in the hope that one day they'll be able to shoot and kill someone without any legal repercussions. Then they are surprised when it backfires and the dog attacks them. 80% of people who own pit bulls are basically people who mistreat a dangerous animal instead of being responsible owners and doing the safety things necessary to own a pit bull.
I have a family friend who had a pit bull since he was a puppy (he died of old age some years ago). He was very aggressive towards strangers, but once he got to know the person, he practically didn't care and, if he really liked the person, he would try to play with them like any dog does.

Indigenous people doing genocide of pit bulls based on Hitlerite dog race science.
