I think it depends on the situation.

If someone adopted a dog knowing it was aggressive and understood the amount they would need to invest to keep the dog and others safe, that's one thing.

But if a rescue adopts out an aggressive dog without informing the new owners, or if the dog develops aggression despite proper care and training, it's totally reasonable to surrender and/or have it euthanized (depending on the severity of the aggression, but yes, some need to be euthanized. Even no-kill shelters can euthanize 10% of their animals, and many are due to behavioral problems that can't be fixed). Sort of like, it's one thing to marry someone knowing they have a severe mental illness and being willing to do what is needed to make the relationship work. But it's a totally different thing if they hide it until you're married and stuck, or if it develops later in life.
