Dog lift fighting, the new thing.

Bull terriers shut in lifts for fight to death

THE Observer (http://observer.guardian.co.uk/) today reveals that the number of Staffordshire bull terriers is soaring amid reports that the breed is being used increasingly for street fighting and a practice known as 'lifting', in which dogs or a dog and a cat are sent down in a high-rise lift in the hope that they will savage each other while being filmed on a mobile phone.

London's most famous animal rescue centre, the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, has revealed that one in three of the dogs it handled last year was a Staffordshire bull terrier. The figure represents a 70 per cent increase on the number of pure bred Staffies and their crosses housed during 2005 - up from 1,564 to 2,677.

That is sick and bizarre. :sicksmiley: That is a lot of SBT too! They must be a really popular breed there like the APBT is here.

the staff is very common over here in the uk.
luckily not only for thugs, but all kinds, middle class, working class, mature people and young people.

we have a big problem here now though with B.S.L.

That is sick, i hadnt heard of it before but surely the police should be more interested in stopping this than taking away (pit bull type) dogs that arnt causing any harm.

thats too logical lynnie. its easier for them to target innocent families and their dogs.
