There are always a ton of them in the classifieds. What makes anyone think they can rehome a pit that they themselves don't want? And who in their right mind would adopt an unwanted pitbull that has behavior issues?

It happens all the time.
Most dogs have an amazing drive to please, and, personally, I find it amazing that many dogs can be beaten, chained up in a back yard somewhere, left in a dumpster, shot, burned, maimed, you name it, and yet they still have the ability to unconditionaly love humans.
Something that can't be said for most humans.

There are 6 separate ads on here for them. Some are for free and some are for sale. I'm extremely annoyed by one ad because I know the person. I noticed that she was selling them before they were even 6 weeks old. Her and her mother have been selling non-registered puppies for years.

Up here, if they've bitten, they will not adopt them out. I won't say what they do with them because, no doubt, a whole bunch of people will get all upset...
I hope you are not implying that the Humane Society takes biters out and shoots them, because I know for a fact that's not true. They's all cityfied and they actually euthanize the animals with an injection.

I hate to stereotype but from my own personal experience it seems like an awful lot of people don't it through before getting a pit bull or breeding them. It's like they want to have a controversial breed of animal because they have something to prove.
I have also noticed that they are seemingly often lower income so that when they have to move for whatever reason and find out that they can't take their pit with them then they have to find another home for it.
I know it doesn't apply to everyone, it's just something that I seem to notice more often.

One of the MAJOR problems with dogs in general and pits in particular is people get them who simply can not provide them with the lifestyle they need; room to run and lots of play.
Human beings suffer, enormously, being cooped in cities all the time but, at least we can go to the gym, go let our hair down on Friday night with the pals, get a pill from out shrink. Dogs like pits NEED lots of exercise. They get wiggy, they get edgy without it.
Wasabi is part pit, part lab, part greyhound and her sheet at the pound said she didn't like riding in cars, could not be left alone and dug under the fence.
Well, in nearly eighteen months, she has killed exactly two rolls of toilet paper and one rubber boot, all of that in the first two months. Since then, nothing. We will leave her for up to 8-10 hours alone but that is on the weekends and most of the time she goes with us. ZERO issues. She spends most of the day under my desk or hanging out in the greenhouse. She wants to go for rides more than we do and is content to ride, peacefully, all day. She gets a little pushy about wanting to drive some times but, that's to be expected. And has dug not one hole.
I don't know this but, I think she was lived in a townhouse before and was left along all day long. She didn't get the exercise. Made her wiggy and a wiggy little dog is one thing. You get nipped. A wiggy big dog is a real problem. She will chase frisbees until she is on the verge of collapse. Several times a day. Her and another dog is non stop action, all day. I have the room for her to run and the time to give her throughout the day.
In my view, dogs, like people, don't do well with inactivity nor do we belong in cities. Makes us crazy. Again, a crazy lap dog is one thing. A pit, bad mojo. And, just walking is no enough. Working dogs NEED to run.

Controversy
I'm really not trying to be controversial, just expressing an observation.
I like pitbulls and think irresponsible owners contribute to their demise. I may just have a limited point of view.
I really enjoy dogs as a part of our family and wish everyone else felt the same as I do about taking care of them. I hope that the appearance of being a badass because you have a dangerous dog breed is something that goes away for the sake of everyone.

You nailed it... that's what it really comes down to.
It's the irresponsible owners and the politicians that need to be put down.

I totally agree. I have two small dogs that behave much better when they are exercised and outside on a regular basis. In fact, to keep them from barking when we have company over, we'll take them outside and play with them extra long so that they're a little worn out. It's much better and way more fun than yelling at them.
The activity level of those two wears me out. If we had a bigger homestead then we would consider bigger dogs but at this time, with our limited space, the small size of our dogs is perfect.

A tired dog, is a good dog. I make sure my dog has PLENTY of work to do. She'll play frisbee until I literally have to make her stop.
Then she runs in the house straight to the bath tub for a cold shower.
