Dog breeds become fads. The current fad is pits but people don't understand the problem with the breed. The defective gene only manifests itself when something triggers the schitzo to switch and it's impossible to know which ones have the gene.
Pit bulls aren't even close to a "fad".
They are only popular with low income, low information, trash, that have no inkling about caring for or training a dog.
Pitbulls are plentiful and cheap, or free, and people that have a clue don't want them. They won't have them around their family or friends, or neighbors.
That's why the dog pounds are chock full of them.
I will add that there a few exceptions. A few good pitbull owners, and few good pitbulls.
