She's an absolute scumbag, but yes, certain dog breeds that only exist to be violent, such as Rottweilers, should simply be ended. That's pretty obvious, I would have thought.

But.... Violent people don't care about the safety of others, and don't see a problem with abusing dogs to get what they want out of them either.

Rottweilers aren't known for being particularly violent though. Yes they're big dogs, but they're largely big softies personality wise.

Rottweilers are responsible for the second highest number of attacks after pitbulls. They seem to be at least more dangerous than the average dog.

Clearly theres an issue with this breed given how many incidents they're responsible for of late.

Maybe they attract a certain type of owner. Who knows..

Rottweiler's were bred to herd livestock and pull carts. You might be thinking of Pitbulls or other dogs bred for violence.

You know nothing about dogs. If you raise them in an uun-abusive way they will not be violent.

Don't be fucking surprised when a living creature lashes out and bites you after years of you hitting of yelling at it. Treat dogs with respect and they'll respect you back.

If they happen to maim a home invader, who cares? They could have prevented it by being functional members of society instead of a scurge.
