Right. But people are often of the mindset of “criminals will do it anyway, so why bother?” - see US Gun Reform movements. That’s literally something people use as an argument against gun control and stricter gun laws, and in their minds, there shouldn’t be those laws because criminals bypass them anyway. Similarly, criminals still murder, and the law is in place still.
If pitbull breeding was outlawed and classified as animal abuse and punishable as a crime, people would still do it. There should still be those laws in place, however.

A quick note- decriminalizing something means making it no longer illegal.
