I am a Staffie

There is a horrible situation in Britain now with Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Since pitbulls are banned there, people are using these dogs like thugs. People over breed them for a few lousy dollars. They fight them. The act like they are weapons.
Because of this situatiion, there are some calling for a breed ban, like the pitbull. One out of every 3 dogs abandoned or sent to shelters and rescues is a staffie. They have found staffies knifed to death, in creeks and ponds with rocks tied to them to make sure they drown.
The term lifting is when they throw 2 dogs or a dog and a cat down a highrise elevator shaft and then film them with a camera phone to see if they fight on the way down. Quite a game.
People should be ashamed of themselves for their cruelty to these dogs. Shame on all who abuse them.
I want to thank Maria Daines and Paul Killington for the use of their Staffie song.
Please be aware of this situation and help support stronger laws punishing the right person. Not the dog. Thankyou to all who watch.

We got our wonderfull Samson from a rescue centre to look at him he looks a big scary boy, he was beaten and had his legs broken as a puppy, we have had him from a year old and he is amazing. He is loyal loving gentle and an absolute pleasure, he us amazing with our two kids that came along after him, he loves getting dressed up by my kids and playing with them. He sleeps on our bed under the covers with his head on my pillow !! Please rescue a staffie and gain all the love in the world it's th

just read your comment my staffie is really well trained (even if i do say so myself!) we can walk her of the lead and she doesnt wander, she could see a cat and ignore it and tends to ignore other dogs. Up until recently whenever we met other people whilst walking i would put her back on her lead because of the frightened reactions of people when they saw her! I have stopped doing this they need to realise that shes not going to attack! But since this 3 dogs have gone for mine!

i have a staffie and next year will be getting another one, they are so misunderstood by society because of the bad reputation these morons have given them. Instead of getting rid of the breed maybe they should bring back the dog license? i'd be more than happy to pay a small sum to have my dogs, they are part of the family and great with my children.

dont have a staffie but got friends who have them and they are all fantastic, loyal, loving, playful, fun, intelligent dogs - worse you ever get from them is a good licking!!!

I adore staffies to bits. If they ban them over here I will cry. It's bad enough we can't have pitbulls cause they are soft as hell. I plan on having a staffy one day in the near future and loving it forever :D
