Thank goodness that someone has taken the time to expose the RSPCA contradictions if not outright lies regarding the bull breeds. This should be seen for what it is, media spin and a money making venture. That’s right, scaring people into donating to them. I don’t buy the “they do a good job, but”. If you kill dogs on looks and in the name of good management, you wear the animal cruelty tag that accompanies it. And as for “just following orders”, I would have thought the Nuremburg excuse was a well-worn and outdated canard.

Surely by gathering ‘intelligence’ on ‘hoodies’ or other ‘yoof’ who have a bull breed type dog with them, the RSPCA is being Breed Specific?

Do they also report on hoody/yoof who may be walking a JRT/Westie/Spaniel/Dalmatian/Chihuahua/(insert breed) or do they only target SBT, mastiffs and other bull breeds?

Great to see that British democracy is working at its best, an organisation sends out diverse confusing and conflicting figures and then a day or two later a Labour MP is asking questions about dangerous dogs (pattern forming).

Nice one K9 Magazine on printing the comment from the NHS about dog attacks, this is contrary to what Chief Constable Brunstrom was saying at the RSPCA conference (see reports on this website, his figures ran in to the thousands re the number of hospital admissions over dog bites?

What hope do SBT and other bull breeds have against the weight of the establishment (including the RSPCA)I agree totally that they do a great job fighting animal cruelty, but the issue of dangerous dogs on the UK’s streets is starting to come across as some kind of conspiracy involving the establishment, the RSPCA and especially DEFRA. Remember that Lord Rooker mentioned in an article in the Bradford Telegraph(?) that a crackdown on dangerous dogs was needed and the police need to use their powers more and the existing legislation.

When it all kicks off, remember who the main protaganists were and that it was mentioned firstly on K9 Magazine.

Well done Ryan O’Meara on highlighting this issue.
