It's a lot less costly over time to legislate the eratication by control breeding than educating and legislating a registration and training requirement.
And to be fair, I am not opposed to eraticating over time those little Terriers either.

lol, you know, i think i could do without that breed too, those things were annoying! Anyway, I think the larger problem is an overall lack of education as to what dogs actually ARE. They are animals, they do not conform entirely to human behaviors just because they are domesticated. That and more and more Americans are getting lazier and lazier, thus they don't want to take the time to learn about what they're getting into when getting a larger more aggressive breed.
Anyway, I'd suspect that PETA and other animal rights group would put up a pretty high wall to anyone trying to pass legislation to let any breed of dog go extinct. I could see them agreeing to training requirements to own certain breeds, but then there would be a lot of people against government sticking their nose into that aspect of their life. Definitely not an easy fix either way.
