You focused on a lot of contemporary issues and missed some of the history, especially as it relates to how communities ended up passing breed specific legislation.
Many of the laws were passed because pits were seen as "urban dogs" owned by "urban men" (black men) and passing BSL was a way to keep the urban dogs (and the urban men and their families) out of communities. A lot of this started in the 1980s with media reports that urban drug gangs had pits as guard dogs and that pits were associated with hip hop music.
These issues persist into the 2020s.
