I want to start a campaign. This is really getting to me and I am struggling to hold back the tears.
I posted some time ago about my neighbours staffie getting into my garden. He is a big, unneutered boy and he was intimidating my elderly JRT bitch. This has now been resolved and me and neighbours remain on good terms.
They bought another SBT at the weekend and brought her in to show us last night. My neighbour said they are going to mate her with their other SBT.
I told her that I thought this was a bad idea because the rescue centres are full to bursting with unwanted and abused SBT's. She said that they bought a bitch specifically because they would like pups but she said that she saw my point and would discuss it with her husband before making a final desicion. I advised her to ring the RSPCA as well for information on breeding and the consequences of over breeding.
I then went on a few websites (All Dogs Matter, Battersea etc) and they are FULL of SBT's that are unwanted and may never be rehomed.
Why the fuck (sorry, but that's how I feel) don't you need a licence to breed dogs? Or cats? Or any other animal. I seriously hope my neighbours have a change of heart.
Rant over.

To think that as a civilised, animal loving society, we need to do something about this.
