I agree, it's a shame that they were all killed, but in answer to the question "should we kill pit bulls" I say yes, if they are endangering human lives.
The bread in general is sweet and lovable. It's human's that make them vicious. They are often used for Dog Fighting rings where they are trained to fight each other. Usually they are put to death if they are found in a dog fighting ring in which most often they are too badly abused to make a suitable pet as they would attack any other animal viciously. They aren't normally hostile towards humans (But can be if maltreated.) It's unfortunate that in order to control dog fighting, some areas have banned pit bulls. I think that's the wrong thing to do and I'm against it 100%. Pit bulls are the most misunderstood dog breed. In reality, they are the sweetest dogs.
This is my Pit Bull, Xander. He wouldn't hurt a fly. He was also rescued from a shelter.
