The '''Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier''' is a [[hoax]] species of dog that is almost identical to the [[American Pit Bull Terrier]]. This [[faux]] name came into use in [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in order to get around "the law banning American pit bull terriers". These dogs are then used to "fuel the return of dog fighting to levels last seen in the 1980s before the Dangerous Dogs Act was enforced." The [[RSPCA]] does not recognize this species as legitimate and separate from its American counterpart.<ref>{{cite news |title=Trade in 'Irish' pit bulls flouts dog law |author=Daniel Foggo |author2=Adam Lusher |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=June 2, 2002 |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1396088/Trade-in-Irish-pit-bulls-flouts-dog-law.html |accessdate=October 12, 2010}}</ref> However, the naming has since been accepted and utilized in most media when referring to pit bull terriers found in Britain. The breed itself is also on a list of four breeds that are banned in the UK.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/cardiff-news/tm_objectid=17842849&method=full&siteid=50082&headline=are-dangerous-dogs-out-of-control--name_page.html |title=Are dangerous dogs out of control? |author=James, David |date=September 29, 2006 |work= |publisher=[[WalesOnline]] |accessdate=October 13, 2010}}</ref> and are "[[Animal euthanasia|destroyed]]" whenever a dog is confirmed to be one of the banned breeds.<ref>{{cite news |title=Court orders dangerous 'pit bull' dogs to be destroyed |first= |last= |newspaper=[[The Sentinel (Stoke-on-Trent)|The Sentinel]] |date=August 18, 2010 |url=http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/news/Court-orders-banned-dogs-destroyed/article-2539669-detail/article.html |accessdate=October 13, 2010}}</ref> |
