American pit bull terriers have been banned in the UK for more than 30 years under the Dangerous Dogs Act and has been responsible for the deaths of 15 people in Wales and England
An investigation has uncovered a sick TikTok video offering banned dogs for sale. It includes driving instructor Ghulam Aziz showing off the aggressive nature of his two illegal American pit bull terriers.
The same dog is also rewarded with strokes after biting a man's arm. The clip, captioned “Pup for sale – direct message if interested” also shows a puppy being held up to the camera. An investigation by the Mirror later discovered Aziz wanted more than £1,000 for the pup and indicated there could be more.
A Labour MP campaigning for tougher dangerous dogs laws called our findings “disgraceful”. Wayne David, who represents Caerphilly in South Wales, added: “It is very important the police take the strongest possible action against those who are engaged in criminal activity. Dangerous dogs are a huge problem in our country and this is a major aspect of that.”
In 2022 alone doctors operated on more than 1,000 children with severe bite wounds – nearly 40% being under school age. In February, Alice Stones, four, became the latest child to be killed by a dog. She was mauled by a pit bull cross in the garden of her home in Milton Keynes, Bucks, in February.
