Bulldogs, including the new American Bully breed, are being bred with hugely exaggerated characteristics.
In the past three years, more than 1,000 incidents of illegal ear cropping have been reported to the RSPCA. Some dealers do the cropping themselves, without using anaesthetic on the dogs. Most cases involve American bullies.
After some back and forth with Rayment's account, I finally receive the message to my fake Facebook profile that I've been desperately waiting for. My alter ego Stefan Delaney is invited to a meeting in Wigan to discuss a deal.I arrive at the address. It's a dog fertility clinic. A man lets me in and shows me around. He's called Ryan Howard. He tells me he's Rayment's business partner."Tom's not here because he's in jail," he tells me.
It means the dealer can have a massive network of dogs which they can continue to profit from without the authorities having any idea how many they have."We are well-known for breeding the highest quality extreme American bullies without compromising the dogs' health or well-being. Thomas Rayment does not communicate with anyone illegally and has others running his socials. We do not condone or take part in illegal ear cropping.
Ian Muttitt, a chief inspector with the RSPCA's Special Operations Unit, says over the past five years organised crime gangs have become increasingly involved in the extreme dog breeding trade.But what is the appeal of dog dealing to criminals? First, he says, it's lucrative. Second, it's useful for money laundering."It can then be laundered through the sale of these dogs or vice versa.
