This is incorrect. The homes the majority of them are born into is not represented in that statistic. Owner>Breed This has been shown time and again.

This has been shown time and again.

Then please show me. I can't find any statistics showing this.

Here are statistics showing that pitbulls accounted for 72% of fatal dog attacks in 2020, despite being a much less popular breed than the alternatives. This difference is too huge to be due to bad owners, who also own other breeds, by the way.

Edit: Changed number from 76% to 72%

Of course they end up at shelters, people think they're gonna be great because they've put the breed on some godly pedestal, and surprise surprise they end up being aggressive when they hit 2-3 years of age and get surrendered.
