In February 2006 one of the most horrific cases of animal abuse was brought to our attention after an incident occurred on Handsworth Golf Course in Birmingham, England.
A Staffordshire Bull Terrier was doused in a flammable liquid and ignited. The injuries were fatal. Death being a particularly agonizing experience for this poor creature.
Many lovers of the breed have contacted us already asking what can be done.
At a meeting in Carlisle on Sunday 26th February 2006 it was decided that a fund should be set up with a view to offering it as a reward to present to anybody who can give the information that the Police need to secure a conviction for this heinous crime.
THE FUND CURRENTLY STANDS AT
£4406.25 (UPDATED 26/05/07)
If anyone does have any information that would help the Police or the Authorities please contact one of the following telephone numbers:
West Midlands Police - 0845 113 5000
RSPCA Cruelty & Advice Line - 0870 55 55 999or if you prefer confidentially on 01229 465791 and ask to speak to Bob Whittall of the NSBTR.

If everyone who loves Staffords contributes just £5.00 to this reward we hope to create a very serious amount of money that will be enough to tempt an informant to come forward and give this person away.
SOMEWHERE, SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING!
PLEASE COME FORWARD AND HELP.
Thank you for caring.
