Man killed in horror pitbull attack

You're proving just how IGNORANT you are.

An Am Staff = A Pitbull.

They simply changed the name to get around laws that prohibit you owning Pitbulls in certain states.

As an example:

http://www.pbrc.net/faq.html

"These breeds are essentially the same dogs but have been bred for different purposes and/or size standards since the mid 1930's. Some are even dual registered (i.e., registered as an American Pit Bull Terrier with the UKC and as an American Staffordshire Terrier with the AKC)."

From your own link :

Staffordshire Bull Terrier (SBT, Staffie or Stafford)
Staffies remain very popular in England, but they are less common in the United States. They share common ancestors with the APBT and AST, therefore exhibit many of the same breed traits. Staffordshire Bull Terriers should be 14-16" at the shoulder height and at 24 to 34 lbs., they are noticeably smaller, though, and their ears are rarely cropped. They are essentially bred for good disposition and conformation. The AKC points to the Staffie Bull’s “affection for its friends” as well as “off-duty quietness” and “trustworthy stability,” all of which make it “a foremost all-purpose dog.” They are often referred to as “nanny dogs” because they are excellent with children. Typically, dogs labeled in a shelter as a SBT are wrongly labeled as such.

Pitbulls and staffies (the real ones, not this amstaff rubbish) have absolutely nothing in common in terms of temperament.

Yoh terrible incident. I feel that those dogs have an overly aggressive side but I don't see the point in owning an aggressive dog unless for protection purposes. But even then you need to have them trained to stop things like this happening. Maybe I'm just a softy.
/goes and plays with my goldies.
