Well that's your own fault for pooping in your socks then...

I'd rather be bitten by a chihuahua than a staffordshire bull terrier if I had to choose. Common sense - sharper teeth, more powerful jaws, musculature.

Staffies have sharper teeth than chihuahuas? Really? I take it from the constant references, that it's staffies you have concerns over, and to be fair, the media love entertaining people like yourselves with horror stories. The fact that the majority of these incidents involve staff cross breeds, pits or other crosses, won't factor into the information you're fed. The fact that rescue shelters are full of staffs is heart breaking, and the image that you conjure up is the reason most will never be rehomed, despite being one of the breeds with the most consistent temperaments around. There are only two breeds of dog that the Kennel Club recommend for people with young children. One is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, need I tell you which the other breed is?
Every attack on a child is of course totally unacceptable but they are so few and far between especially when you consider the number of dogs in this country. The benefits a dog can bring to a family and the important roles they play in society with out a moan, just a waggy tail, completely outweigh the negative incidents. Shall we ban cars/planes/DIY tools because of accidents. No we don't. We just have to accept that there are risks involved all aspects of life

Are you sure its not some of the local talent you have picked up ? Most birds around Bewsey look like a cross between a stray and a Staffordshire Bull bitch.
I'd return them to where you found them before their boyfriends realise that their missing because technically its kidnap.
