eradicating the breed isn't the answer though



There is no point to keep breeding pit bulls.

Don't kill the ones currently here, just give the owners 1 year to spay and neuter them and outlaw their breeding.

I am as big of a dog guy as you can be. My 70 lb dog sleeps in the bed with the wife and I. There is just no point to continuing to allow pit bulls to be bred. 95% of their owners do not raise them correctly. They require very strong, specific training.

They should be treated like other non-dog animals that are only allowed via permit. You shouldn't be allowed one unless you can prove you can handle it.

They can be very well behaved, nice dogs. But its muuuuch easier for them not to be. I know nice rescue pits from our dog park and I think even the owners of those pits will agree that they should stop their breeding. They also are one of the most common homeless dogs because of the irresponsible owners.


ETA:

FWIW, pit bulls are attributed for 82% of the dog bite fatalities in the US in 2015.
