Jesus Christ, dude!
I'm not a big fan of pitbulls, but I see no need for exterminating them. My buddy had a female pit that was very high-strung and protective of the home and family, but she was also very obedient and fun to play with. I wouldn't recommend them if you have little kids around, but on the other hand, if the dog feels protective of the child, you wouldn't want to be the dirtbag who tries to harm that kid.
All ths bullshit talk about ghetto thugs and trailer parks and drug dealers makes no difference. If you want to exterminate something, exterminate the drug-dealers and animal abusers who teach these dogs to be vicious and mistreat them.
Exterminating dogs is as pointless as trying to confiscate guns. The criminals who use them will remain and find some other way to cause trouble.
Like, for instance, breeding rottweilers or german shepards instead.
As for punt-able dogs, well, that's the way I roll.
