Pit bulls can be trained and be sweet but their existence seems to do more harm than good because of the amount of damage they are capable of. There are also such cases of dogs snapping despite whatever training they went through because of past traumatic experiences.

I don't think anything can realistically be done to get rid of the breed nor is it a common enough issue to care but I find it odd when people vehemently defend pit bulls as if the breed is some cultural group.

A dog is not going to be offended that people believe society is better off without it's breed. It has no concept of its breed. It is entirely a human made concept.

And if you actually care about the suffering of the dogs you'd probably wouldn't want them being massively bred+trained for fighting/aggression and then being put down in shelters for being unadoptable. Backyard breeding is the main problem but that will never be controlled enough.
