yet another thread which turns into an attack on the people clearing up the mess left by irresponsible people. so what if the rspca made you feel inferior or patronised. no one can make you feel that way but yourself. and actually some people (chavs) shouldnt have pets because they are the people who have left thousands of unhomable staffies in kennels waiting to be pts. staffies are not seen as a family dog by the majority so unless you want to home all thirty thousand of them then theyll have to be pts. of course the owners of these dogs and the people responsible for the overbreeding of this unwanted breed should be charged the full cost of the vet bills.

is this post about my post? i praised the rspca i did not say that they made me feel patronised, i was talking about another local sanctuary.

if you are not talking about my post then my apologies but i cannot think of what else you're referring to?

if you read the thread and not just your own posts youd see which posts im referring to. my experience of the rspca was much the same as yours.

You should be put to sleep for deciding that it's only chavs who put dogs in kennels and that staffies are an unwanted breed.

staffies are an unwanted breed. there are tens of thousands of them and no one who wants them = unwanted breed.

I don't want to state the obvious...but I will.

the first thing any animal/charity/vet would do with a cat (or dog) found dead or alive is to check it for a microchip. If yours was chipped, then it would be scanned and returned to you if found.

I'm afraid I disagree with this - yes most vets would check and probably most charities but most council wardens (or whoever does this on behalf of them) ... don't.

I know vets who don't scan cats, I've heard one who said (along the lines of) "oh, I don't bother, no one round here's going to spend £25 getting a cat chipped".

staffies aren't an unwanted breed, they're an over bred breed.

you say tomaRto, i say your wrong.:)

scheming_gypsy

if they were 'unwanted' then nobody would want them, seeing as people clearly do want them but there are too many being bred.... my tomarto is clearly right

As said above, Staffies are not an unwanted breed. They are a very overbred breed.

I they were unwanted then they would never be rehomed, and many are, just not all of them.

The 'Undercover Boss' program picked up on the fact that since pitbulls were made illegal,the 'hard men' who used to have Pittbulls as a status symbol picked up on Staffies as they look relatively hard.
