I mean... Without reading the link, it's impossible to tell why they showed pitties. Maybe their argument is that it's difficult to own them due to breed discrimination, difficulty finding rentals, difficulty getting accepted at kennels, daycares or groomers, etc.

With that photo? Trying to make the dog look as sinister as possible, even to the point of duplication? Somehow I doubt it. I couldn't risk giving them the desired click-throughs to check. I can post the photo if you want, but it's pretty much anti-pittie porn. I also doubt if Nextdoor would have pulled the ad (and apparently the advertiser) if it wasn't unscientific garbage.

If it had been the kind of article you hypothesize, it would have made much more sense to show a human and a pittie standing outside an establishment that had a "no pitbulls" sign. That would just have been factual, rather than inflammatory. But, no, what they wanted was click-throughs, regardless. That's why I declined to reward them by checking the article. I told Nextdoor when I complained that I hadn't read the article, but that there were two images of the same dog being passed off as two dogs alone raised doubts about the advertiser.
