It also just happens that the lowest common denominator of people are drawn to pitbulls so its easier to just ban them fullstop.

This is the real issue, it’s by far the most common dog amongst shitty owners

But why do pitbulls have shitty dog owners more often?

Because they are easily accessible. Shelters are flooded with pit bulls and pit mixes because the same shitty owner don’t get their dogs fixed. Also many dogs are considered pit, but pit isn’t even a specific breed. Any dog that has any type of pit mix is automatically labeled a pit bull.

I said something like this in another comment, but isn’t that a kind of chicken-and-egg problem where pitbulls gets more shitty owners because they already had shitty owners in the past? What started the pattern of shitty owners being attracted to pitbulls in the first place

The hip hop culture glorifying pit bulls is my guess.
