Why are humans so mean to pitbulls?

i found her when i was riding my bike today, August 11th, in the middle of nowhere, laying beside the road in the glaring sun. Since i was about 15 miles from home, my only option was to call Animal Control (the dog pound) to come pick her up. Meanwhile i flagged down all 3 vehicles that came by to try to get food for her. She is VERY thin and there were no puppies in sight despite the condition of her teats. I waited there with her until the "dog catcher" arrived. Who knows how long she had been there. She appeared dehydrated and weak.

I checked on her later at the pound was told since she is a pitbull the puppies were probably sold and the mother dumped to die. Look at the despicable environment she has at the "shelter". She had NO FOOD, NO WATER and NO BEDDING of any sort. A jagged piece of rusty metal is visible right above her head. I don't know what fate is worse for her. I went back again this evening and told the officer i would take her to the emergency vet tomorrow (Sunday) if she appears to be going down. He promised to call me with an update on her. But what will become of her? Why are people so mean to pitbulls?
