As far as specifically breeding them, I actually think that there should be ALMOST ZERO BREEDING of ANY dog breed for awhile, because the numbers of stray dogs is overwhelming, and it ****ing sucks to have to put a huge number of dogs to sleep or have them starve to death on the streets, just because a bunch of dumb ****s don't get their dogs fixed and just let them procreate, (or purposefully breed them for dog fighting or to sell). When the numbers get down a little, then we can start to breed them again, but it should be moderated according to whatever the market can bear. And we should crack down harder on illegal breeding (puppy mills, etc.) especially if it's for the sake of dog fighting.
I also have a similar stance on humans btw. I completely understand the innate natural desire to create offspring, but considering how many kids out there need to be adopted, it just feels really ****ing selfish to have any more than one of your own.
I know that some pits attack, just like any breed, and I'm obviously aware that a pit attack is potentially more damaging than a chihuahua. I'm not an idiot. But I have seen so much good come from the existence of pit bulls, that I can say without a douby that the existence of pits is a net positive for our society.
