151. All animal abuse is wrong

Are pit bulls the most abused? I don't know to be honest because of misidentification, although generally speaking, those that rescue them tend to know if they are pits or not, they will be more accurate than those who don't have the experience or knowledge on how best to ID a dog. It would not be in the dog's best interest to be inaccurate on their breed since pit bulls are harder to find homes for than most other breeds. What I do see is between the cases that are really pit bulls and those that are assumed to be, it's got to be one of the most frequently reported on as far as abuse cases. Out of approx every 10 dog abuse stories involving dogs that I hear on a very frequent basis is at least 7 of them are reported to be pit bulls - at least in my neck of the woods. I tend to believe that pit bulls are in a higher risk pool for abuse because they have become the new cool dog to have if you're a thug or scum bag dog fighting ring operator. It stands to reason that under those circumstances, it would more likely lead to abuse because these people have a propensity to treat their dogs horrifically.
