sumosmum Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Akitas are banned in Singapore. And there are many many more purebred dogs banned in lots of other places too. Can't be bothered looking them up at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.mister Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 How absolutely disgusting. Shame, shame, shame on BCC. Such a confusing story and nothing adds up. I hope that something happens that blows these b******s out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've come to the conclusion m-sass just posts to derail threads in order to make them about m-sass. It's rather like a 5 year old chucking a wobbly in a supermarket to get attention. Why is sharing an opinion difference derailing a thread? It's my opinion that ANKC recognised breeds will not become restricted breeds reinforced by the Amstaff resolution as a test case to support my opinion. If anyone thinks that ANKC recognised breeds are vulnerable to restriction and need to support anti BSL regimes on that basis, good luck to them You do realize that in other areas of the world that have BSL, particularly in the states, American Staffordshre Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are also restricted or banned, papers or not? ETA: and in the states there are two registries that provide pedigrees to APBT and hold conformation shows? there are also non bull breeds banned in various parts of the us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantis Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Pitbulls,bulldogs etc may not be your breed but its only a matter of time before its other breeds of dog. That's absolute rubbish, how long did it take for the registered Amstaff issue to be rectified when the court considered the Pitbull/Amstaff as the same breed??. If they didn't whack the Amstaff on the list, other ANKC recognised breeds with no association to restricted breeds are as safe as houses..........this "your breed will be next" scare mongering to assist Pitbull supporters is the joke of the century It sickens me that you try & pass yourself off as a dog lover. p.s. Why do I get flashbacks to "Dougie", when I see your posts? Edited July 15, 2012 by mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
