I used to think this until one day I looked at a local shelters available dogs online and they were literally all pitbulls and other fighting dogs. Granted I was living in a shithole at the time but if your only options are no dog, dog that is at least 25% descended from something bred to be violent, and paying somebody who seems to not be 100% evil for a poodle I’m at least sympathetic to the third option now.

That’s fair and I think there’s also the aspect of hypoallergenic dogs that should be considered. But I do think dog breeding needs better regulation.
