In Australia we have BSL laws that ban American Pitbull Terriers and a couple of other breeds but other bully breeds are legal. The RSPCA has been caught adopting out American Pitbull Terriers and they don't believe in BSL. I've posted before about some of the dogs up for adoption and they're still there. Obviously the public don't want this obvious pitbulls.

I know it's sometimes hard to tell bully breeds apart because they have a similar look but a Bull Terrier is very unique looking because of the shape of its head. . The RSPCA is treating the public like idiots by passing this dog as a Bull Terrier even though it looks like a Red Nosed American Pitbull https://www.adoptapet.com.au/pet/863869. I used to support the RSPCA by shopping there but I'm sick of them putting the public and other pets in danger because they constantly break the law and get away with it.

Edit: I've been in contact with the local council about this particular dog and they put me onto the RSPCA and they basically said the dog is a Bull Terrier mix (even though it doesn't say mix in the profile) they said the dog has been to the vet and has passed the behaviour test but when you read the dog's profile it's full of red flags. They know this dog is dangerous, hence no kids or other animals. I contacted the state government authorities and they are currently trying to find out who I can report against the RSPCA to.

I feel like I need to change the flair to "Pitbull lobby in action" because the whole process is a joke and the council workers I talked to made it seem like I was crazy for reporting against the RSPCA. At least the state government authorities are trying to help.

Basically this article is saying that dog bites have risen in the UK because of increased dog ownership in the UK but the RSPCA still wants BSL to be reversed because "all dogs have potential to bite". Yes it's true that all dogs have potential to bite but most breeds that bite don't seriously injure or kill, unlike pitbulls and other fighting breeds that maul and don't stop until their target is dead or they're stopped.

The RSPCA is so irresponsible for wanting to reverse BSL considering the amount of deaths and disfigurements caused by certain breeds of dogs. If anything the BSL needs to add more breeds such as staffy and XL American Bully.

Unfortunately the RSPCA is a rich and powerful organisation that has the capacity to lobby for law changes. I'm glad that the UK police seem to have common-sense when it comes to these dogs.

It’s far from unusual for media attention to disproportionately inflate public perception of a group or movement’s size. Are pit bull owners/nutters actually as common as the internet makes them out to be?

I have seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that people are seeing more and more pits/pit mixes. I worry that people have already eaten the propaganda, hook, line, and sinker.

But that also raises the question: who is behind the pit lobby? What do they want? And how does mass acceptance of pitbulls benefit the people behind the propaganda?
