While we're at it destroy all cars. They kill around 50,000 people a year and we know it's not the driver. Of course we can use the same logic for guns, alcohol and drugs. Never, ever blame the person who trains the dog, drives the car, uses the gun, etc. After all people are so perfect and responsibility where it belongs is such a silly thing to consider.
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

The owner may have really been responsible for the Pit Bulls killing or disfiguring a human being, but it is the animal that gets euthanized. The same thing happened in TV Land years ago when there were real buffalo in fields here. Grandparents let their grandchildren go under a fence and go pet the NICE buffalo - you can guess the "rest of the story".
I would prefer that no animals having human interaction be KILLED. Just like the buffalo were sent away from stupid easily injured humans - so would I prefer that no breeds with a reputation and statistics of injuring humans (like topped by the Pit Bull) - be bred in the whole US. There are too many other breed choices!
But, I do like and believe your motto about knowledge and ignorance!
