    Because their stereotype can attract shitty owners who want a badass dog but can’t be assed to train or care for them.

    Or they literally abuse, possibly even with dogfights, and abandon them.

      Occam’s Razor: They are known for being more dangerous because they are more dangerous.

      EDIT: So. Many. Downvotes. But not a single comment refuting the statistics with facts and evidence… You’re not flat-earthers, right? So don’t act like them.
