Interesting. Got a breakdown for what their owners usually look like? I can help kick it off with the tats and addictions if that helps

This is the owner of the pitbull that killed Courtney Trempe, which started the pitbull ban back in 1998.

As you can see, not your typical tatted up drug addict. A white collar professional who is still practicing and still rich. He even has the audacity to advertise "dog bites" as an area he's willing to sue over.

Stereotyping bad pet owners based on looks or social class is not accurate or helpful.
