SO I refer to my earlier Q's,
How do you id a pitbull in the UK?
What is a pitbull in the UK?
How do propose to "wipe them out" given the law states that any legal pb should be nuetered. That leaves a mass cull, no?
and makes my other Qs VERY important.
Pitbulls are not hard to distinguish

my staffy as a rescue could be deemed of type, he is taller than an average staff and v.muscular. That in itself is really worrying, and its why i dont beleive that BSL or the DDA is going to make any difference to the main issue which once again is the PEOPLE BEHIND THE DANGEROUS DOGS not the breeds themselves

Bearing in mind this can take years and the poor dog stuck in kennels

so potentially...
LAB X BOXER = culled?
mastiff = culled?
any bull breed = culled?
etc
Cross breeding aside, there are a few pedigree dogs that could EASILY be labelled "TYPE" as they DO NOT have to actually be PB!
There must be millions of dogs in the UK, what percentage are not papered? what of that percentage meet "TYPE"?
at least thousands!!!
