Pitbulls are banned in UK? What officially is a Pit Bull there? I have been to England and seen people walking English Staffordshire Bull Terriers which I know is smaller than the Amstaff or APBT. Ireland (not UK I know) has an Irish Staffordshire Terrier that is real similar to Amstaffs...are they banned in the UK?
"Perhaps the cruelest betrayal of all those the pit bulldog has suffered worldwide, has come at the hands of the government of the United Kingdom. Despite the fact that "Kennel Club" breeds continue to bite, maul and even kill its citizens, Her Majesty's Government sees fit to "protect" them by banning four dog breeds in leu of enacting laws which would hold owners accountable. The government banned Dogos, Filas, Tosas and "American" pit bulls -all breeds with no Kennel Club support, and all perceived as "foreign". One can get a feel for just how ludicrous this ban was when one considers that at the time of its passing there were NO dogos or filas in the country, and only one, gentle old tosa! "
