Should dogs on behavior drugs be banned from competition?

There's not a legitimate sport organization in the world that allows tools at competitions, as that's part of the test.

So what about dogs on behavioral drugs? Should this be addressed by governing bodies?

Should unequivocally aggressive dogs be euthanized without question?

I'm talking about dogs that have extreme, obvious, universally recognized aggression towards other animals or humans.

The current trend of trying to rehabilitate these animals and perpetuating the idea to the public that this is something that can be turned around to make an acceptable pet is really chilling to me. Trainers have been learning their lesson from hubris in this situation from time out of mind. Cesar Milan comes to mind, his "balanced" pitbull that he used as a demo dog attacked a child unprovoked.

So the question for this debate is whether or not this intense focus on rehabilitating these disastrous dogs needs to be corrected. The resources dumped into these animals is unbelievable, considering how many non-aggressive animals are homeless.
