Hey there folks I have been watching this out of curiosity as we have had similar debates here in the USofA but have never had the American Stafford threatened, at least not that I know of. One thing that has happened in similar situations is a theory you don't seem to have considered here. Never underestimate the power of the almighty dollar. Municipal authorities have very big pockets and generally settle out of court. I note that the dog owners said they have paid out thousands of dollars and been without their dog for a number of years. Had they of triumphed in this case was there a liabilities case to come? Were they expecting a lottery win sized payout for their pain and suffering? Was the American Stafford put at risk out of greed for their own earn rather than for the love of one dog? How many others would have been able to follow on the coat tails if they had won? How many have possibly been bluffed into helping? I am not saying they did it just for the money please no.. But I have seen it happen here!
