Stopping people backyard and accidental breeding would go a long way. To me, enforcing sterilization in dogs that are going to have incidental contact is part of animal welfare. You wouldn't allow a wild bull to go from farm to farm impregnating cows. No, people should be required to keep their pit DNA to themselves.

If people are caught irresponsibly breeding, their animals should be humanely euthanized. Better their life than someone else's pet's or a person.

That’s a confusing video. That dog was focused and went after that girl with one purpose. I’m no expert and have no idea what I just watched. Was it rabid? I can’t think of any other explanation. However I did experience something like this once, I was out walking my dog an Australian shepherd mix. When we were attacked by a huge malamute. It lept on my dog and chomped down on the back of his neck like a wolf. It was ugly, I had no idea what to do, it was fast and violent. I dropped my dogs leash and grabbed that malamute by its hind legs and started dragging it. It spun around to bite me but I started swinging it around in a circle to keep it from biting me. Just as the owner came running out I launched that dog over a fence. Definitely a dumb thing to do. Never get involved in a dog fight. But I panicked when my dog was being hurt. The owner of the dog was really mad because I tossed his dog over a fence. My dog was fine, but you know that smell that is in the air when a dog is fighting for it’s life.? It’s a unique aweful smell and you will recognize it if you ever catch a whiff.

My mom had a dog (not pit bull) that became extremely defensive after getting a complicated surgery. They believed he was in some pain. Nevertheless, a place with more space did agree to take him after behavioral specialists were brought in to try to control his urge to bite people and failed. Prior to getting surgery, he had never bitten past puppyhood like most good dogs. Afterwards, he would do so defensively.
