I would totally agree that Staffies are real people dogs. We have numerous on our books and I have yet to discover of one that was people aggressive. I personally love the breed, but they can and do extreme damage. There have been cases where Bull breeds have been shot and still remained locked on to their target.

I would never advocate any dog being put to sleep unless it was proved to be dangerous. Indeed, I have worked with dogs on death row helping in their rehabilitation.

Yes, it is stupid to intervene in a dog fight, but lets please be honest here. If you saw your dog being torn to shreds, instinct would kick in, and you would try to do something. At least I would, and have.
