All those poor souls who were in rescue because they were let down by humans, and their final moments were full or terror and pain. Rest at the Bridge now sweet ones, no human can hurt you anymore. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-29182471

There was probably a lot of Staffs in the rescue because of the amount of totally unsuitable homes buying from irresponsible puppy farmers. The UK is flooded with them, then when it all goes horribly wrong, they are seized and usually pts. Every time there is an 'attack' on a child or another dog, the ignorant and hysterical press report it as a 'Pitbull type' dog. I despair of the tabloid press most of the time

As much as I hate what they did, I hope they can be reformed and helped before it's too late. Horrible to have to shut the door on a kid for the rest of their life - and don't think that I think this is a 'mistake', this is the product of a sick mind that shouldn't be loose on the streets. Killing animals always come before killing people for these types.

These kind of people are sociopaths. Sick people with no empathy, no remorse etc for anything or anyone. Just EVIL beings. It always seems so much worse when you see it manifest itself in children. But that is where it starts. Not sure if any early intervention would even help...but I doubt it. They are just beings that are 'wired' wrong from conception. Animals always seems to be the 'jumping off' point for them. MY DOGS...MY RULES

So have I; in fact, I read about a study in Psychology Today last year. What is the answer? Or just AN answer? Even the parents' being in denial (or maybe not in denial but still terrified for their kid) seems almost insurmountable.

Bravo to the two brave men who scaled a fence and got 20 dogs out who woulda otherwise died. Makes you not lose all hope in humanity. old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to- unknown

I know he will get a slap on the wrist and tens of thousands of pounds spent trying to rehabilitate him, but I truly believe this type of being is beyond reason and understanding, and if he were a dog, he would be declared a danger to society and put to death. The really sad irony for me, is that there is a good chance some of those 'dangerous' dogs in there who finally snapped after abuse and beatings, COULD be rehabilitated, because as we all know, dogs forgive us humans our mistakes. Authorities in our civilised societies do not reciprocate that graciousness.
