Dogs that bit the referee were culled.

Did you even read what you posted? Your very own post shows that these fighting dogs that showed aggresion to humans were culled. This means their genes and temperment were removed from the gene pool. Sounds to me like that's the opposite of breeding human killers.

The simplest way to refute all of the ignorant posters including notoldschool is to point out that there's a reason that almost no (I've never met a single one) Veterinarians anywhere agree with and support breed bands. When all of the professionals, you know the ones with years and years of school and then many more years of hands on practice day in and day out with animals, are on one side of the issue and the other side is made up entirely of ignorant amateurs with spotty at best track records, well let's just say I know which side I have more faith in.
