This is a classic example of how misinformation about the breed spreads. Spouting off stats when you have absolutely no data to validate the claim. Then somebody comes along and reads this crap and accepts it as fact and is off to somewhere else to parrot what they read. smh Ridiculous. People should THINK a little before posting such silliness. Oh and there is no such breed as a "pit".
Thats why i said "or something". I never said it was a fact. I was proving a point that back yard breeders add to an already existing problem. I dont think anybody here took what I was saying as fact. I also realize pit is not a breed, I dont feel like typing out American Pit Bull Terrier every time I refer to the breed. I am not an idiot. Thank you.

Since I dont know exact figures, and nobody wants to listen to my silliness Ill post some information thats a little more accurate to illustrate the damage done by BYBs.. this is from thebullybreedblog.com (I dont know how accurate this is but here ya go)


Ever wonder how many Pit Bulls are euthanized every year in America? We know the PitBull population number is high but how high is it? How many Pit Bulls are in shelters across America at any given moment? The numbers are unbelievable:

  • At any given time, between American Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bull Terriers and “Terrier Mixes”, and despite the many reasons to own a Pit Bull, there are nearly 35,000 PitBulls available for adoption in shelters across America. That doesn’t even consider the backyard and professional Pit Bull breeders.

So how many Pit Bulls are euthanized every year? How many Pit Bulls get put down every day?
  • Well in Los Angeles alone there are 200 Pit Bulls killed every single day. Every day. That is 1,400 Pit Bulls killed each week and 72,800 Pit Bulls euthanized every year in Los Angeles alone!
If 1 city, Los Angeles is only 1.24% of America’s population, then lets assume LA has a HUGE Pit Bull population and just use 1/10 of 1%…If we multiply that number of Pit Bulls they euthanize every year in regards to their U.S. population percentage, then roughly 728,000 Pit Bulls are euthanized every single year. Almost a million! And that assumes a grossly LOW number.
We need to put a sharp curve on Pit Bull breeding, slow the rate of growth and do our best to contain these numbers by sheltering and adopting out this great breed of dog.
By extremely conservative estimates we can conclude that at least 1,000,000 Pit Bulls are euthanized every year and probably much more than that. There are 35,000 Pit Bulls available for adoption right now. Join the Pit Bull Crusade and lets make a difference.
