Tikaani&Aiyana Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yes! It was quite biased against the breeds but the police man who was saying the law was outdated & it wasn't fair to put down good,healthy dogs was good. Almost cried at the end, so sad that the good ones are still put to sleep just because of the breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 It was the bit where they put the dog down that got me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabien&Abs Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I watched this. It was awful. Poor dogs who have not done anything being put down and the appalling conditions the dogs were living in with owners who couldn't give a crap about them. At least it showed that the current laws don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Never seen it, and from the comments, I don't think I'd want to. I'd either probably cry like a baby, or I'd be furious and whip stuff at people. Or maybe I'd do both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkyries Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thor was on death row, it's the reason we took a 3rd dog and he's turned out one of the best. I'm happy knowing we saved one, now i'm not allowed to look or we'd end up with more dogs xxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyka&Diva Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 as a staffie owner with dogs who could potentially be siezed as 'pitbull type' it had me in tears this was part sadness for these poor dogs being destroyed for no reason other reason other than the way they look and part was anger. the dangerous dogs act needs to change and it needs to change asap. the dogs trust had offered to take part in this programme but because they were going to talk about the positive side of staffies and staffie crosses the bbc wouldnt allow it what does that tell you im disgusted at the bbc because they are trying to tar all bull breeds with the same brush. i was watching another programme on itv which featured battersea dogs home (i think it was them ) and they were saying what great family dogs staffies make and how its a small minority of people who are ruining staffie ownership for others. i can personnally say i trust both my staffies 100% around my children staffies didnt get the title NANNY dog for nothing and i think if programmes like this are going continue to be made they should show the bad side and the good. sorry bit of a rant lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibemum Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Did anybody else watch this? Had my in tears Yep I watched a little and then they took this poor staffie mix out in a cold wet alleyway to inject him -then I switched it off - as far as I can ascertain he hadn't even done anything to anyone.... the owners shoudl never have had a dog in the first place - they should screen ALL potential dog owners not just those who take on rescues....

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 ive not watched it not sure i want too ive had people call bings a 'long legged staffy' which i found out is a 'name' for a pitbull - it scares me to think that because bings looks all staffy but is bigger he could be classed as a pit n pts even tho u couldnt meet a friendlier dog - hes been beaten/abused , dumped and attacked by other dogs but he still loves EVERY1 and wouldnt hurt a fly but it only takes 1 person to think he is a pit n thats it people are predudiced towards the breed - NOBODY shows the good side of staffs n it makes me sick! ive only ever had 1 problem with staffs n thats the 1 that got skyla - all other dogs that have attacked mine have been labs, collies and jrts ARGH sorry will shut up now - i get on my soapbox when it comes down to this! its not the breed at all its the owners !

Paranormal Wolf Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've never watched and don't think I could after reading these comments. I know pit bull type dogs are targeted for many things and often end up on death row and it just brings up so many strong emotions for me as a pit bull owner.
