The stigma on pitbulls has lessened a great deal from what it once was. I go buy a paper very occasionally, like once a month, and they have a section in thre for dogs up for adoption from the local humane society shelter, and, by and large, all of the dogs they have are pitbulls. They even have a spot on local TV morning shows where they bring dogs into the studio to show them off and get them adopted. They're getting adopted because they go over their "results" from the previous week. I watch the shows, so I hear the adoption results. I have no idea who all these people are who are adopting them. It does seem like a never ending supply of them, though. Of course they have other breeds, too, mostly mutts. They usually sweeten the deal with free food for however long, maybe a free checkup or something like that, sometimes even gift cards like to Kroger or Amazon. I'd never have a pitbull, but apparently, lots of people would and do. Where I live they used to have a local law, whereby anyone with a pitbull was required to have insurance on it in case it bit someone. Somehow that law was deemed illegal or something and the law was removed from the books.
