They are over 50 percent of the costs at a local animal shelter, more than 50 percent of the problem dogs the shelter experiences.
These numbers are even with groups that take up pitbulls as their mission trying to relieve the stress on the shelter by taking the breed out of the shelter.
The worst part is all the owners that never realized how dangerous their choice of a pitbull is. The ones that don’t come in with some pathetic story that it was the neighbor’s cat or the child’s fault all say I had no idea. The dog seemed so nice, was a part of the family. Then come the words put him down.
What a ridiculous statistic.
80% of shelter dogs are pits or pit mixes.
That speaks to the gangster element that breeds them for a quick buck and then abandons them.
