Freedom didn't go anywhere. The data seems to indicate that certain people tend to buy certain kinds of dogs.

Now owning a particular canine breed is a marker of deviant behavior. What happened to freedom? Nothing at all -- you're free to get whatever kind of dog you want. A correlation statistic does not brand you as a deviant -- the person chooses the dog, not the other way around. If the dog chose their owner, then maybe you'd have a valid complaint. But they don't.
So nothing in the stat says that owning a bit bull makes you a deviant. It -does- say that if you're a criminal, you might tend to get a pit bull rather than, say, a weiner dog or a french poodle. No surprises there.

I don't think the study mentioned 'freedom' at all, did it? Whose freedom is jeopardized?

What happened to freedom? ?
Its an observation. The bent of the article is that owners are more likely to be criminals. Better phrasing would be that criminals are more likely to be owners.

Freedom is doing just fine. You are free to own any dog you want and I am free to have an opinion about you.

I'm afraid it died a long time ago.
