From what I've seen in my short 24 years, after handling and breeding many different breeds of dogs, I really don't understand why people would want the whole breed eradicated. There is an exception to every rule. The same is in the animal kingdom. What I see is the fact that most people with a powerful breed often handle it well for the first 2 months then get bored with it and expect it to act like a lab. (noting that I have seen a Black Lab that would bite any animal or any person that came close) People should have to take a course and enroll the said breed in an obedience class. No if ands or buts. To say that you would want the entire breed killed is as ignorant as saying the entire human race should be wiped out because of repeated attacks on humans. let's face it, not every dog is going to be a perfect little angel. More dogs of this breed and other "dangerous" breeds will be alot better off if people started treating them how they should be treated. I would venture as far to say that people who own them should have a license and all that but that's a little far fetched at the moment. What that does is simply insult responsible owners like bigoldalphamale seems to be.
The solution isn't killing an entire breed..it's developing ways to understand and work with the breed better.
