I don’t defend the dogs that did this, but the entire breed should not be condemned.

A breed is not a living animal. It is perfectly safe and reasonable to conclude that the breed is genetically defective, and terminate it by simply neutering all the present dogs that are part of that breed. You don't need to kill the dogs, unless they ask for it. Just don't make more of them. Dogs' lifespan is short enough, and dogs are not going to worry about the future of their breed. Even humans largely don't worry about their own species...

Otherwise one would be able to ask a perfectly valid question: how many human children would a proponent of the breed be willing to feed to the dogs, just to keep a certain set of angry genes around? Is the breed valuable in some unique way, outside of dogfighting? What does the humanity gain from this breed? (It's already obvious what it is losing.)

Insert human being where placed breed and it makes as much sense as what you propose. God's creatures man or animal deserve better. NO I don't see animals as equal to man, loony I am not, but I do believe it is mans responsibility to care for animals. Dogs were bred to serve man and they will give unconditional love. You want to destroy a breed because SOME men are greater animals than the dogs. Sorry I just see that as cruel and heartless and not dealing with the issue. If you get rid of the pits, probably as successful as libs getting rid of guns, some other breed will be abused in their place.
