Absolutely assinine that people can't have squirrels or raccoons as pets, but dogs bred for centuries to brutally murder eachother in pit matches are free game.
There are tons of people who own raccoons and squirrels. There was literally a president that had a pet racoon. And to assume a dog is inherently evil for being abused for centuries is wrong. Bull terriers were breed for pit fights but they're rarely associated with that kind if violence. Borzoi's were breed for hunting wolves yet we never hear about them being violent.
