Rehomed XL Bully, found dead in Glasgow......

The photo of the dead dog doesn't show it "covered in blood" as the report says. I think there's probably quite a bit that's gone a bit Chinese whispers.

The fact is that dogs shouldn't be rehomed or sold in this way, that's clear.

I know, imagine actually being that much of a cunt, I feel very sorry for them tbh.

All the people who are celebrating in this poor dogs death, it says a lot about you.
humanely euthanised is one thing, multiple stab wounds to an innocent animal (who we don’t know committed any crime at all ??). No excuse. Shame on you for rejoicing in that.

So heartbreaking to think of the suffering she must have gone through. RIP now Juno

I don’t want to read the link. I get the gist from posters though and the thought that someone who would do that is wandering the streets is horrifying.

Lots of animals can kill people.

Should we kill horses, then? Cows?

Don't go abroad-you'd demand a cull of all their predators.

I think it’s irresponsible for dogs to exist in society which can kill people of any age or size. You might as well allow people to keep panthers on the end of a bit of string.

By all means have a dog, but one a toddler could easily defeat if the dog decided to pick a fight.

There has been a sea change in 'street' people's dogs - in the 1990's it was mainly Lurchers on a string, and they could enter a service user's places without issues, passive slender dogs of a peaceable nature.

Now it is more Bully/Terrier breeds, other clients have been bitten so there is a strict no dogs rule unless a dog is muzzled and leashed now.

A real change due to the types of dogs popular amongst 'street' people.

Ime, homeless dogs are usually calm, friendly, and well-behaved. They are socialised 24/7, they have ample stimulation and exercise, and constant companionship and supervision. In the cases where charities ensure medical and nutritional needs are met these dogs have a better life than most pets.

Ditto the young men who drag their unleashed staffies everywhere, they generally have friendly, affable dogs because they drag them everywhere, unleashed from day 1, ensuring the dogs have very good socialisation and stimulation.

Saying that, I don't think my town, or any town I visit regularly, is the norm. I don't have the same experience of numerous out-of-control dogs and being accosted by aggressive dogs every time I leave the house like the majority of MNetters.

A Beggar in town has a massive XL type.
It is NEVER on a lead, and it is free to harass passersby's dogs.

It got on a bus a few months ago WITHOUT it's wrecked owner and pinned a woman and her little dog to a seat- it's idiot {drunk/stoned} owner stuck out his puny twig arms saying ''Wot's my dog gonna do?'' over and over, challenging the people on the bus.

A fine young man asked that he leave the bus for the safety of the passengers.
the driver didn't leave the bus stop.

The Beggar stumbled off the bus followed reluctantly by his ego booster.

It's ok to admit that being on the street is not a stable life for an animal.
It's ok to admit that some people living on the street aren't currently making the best choices.

The dog was most likely the only constant in that person's life.

But yes, lets demonise homeless people and their dogs.

On another thread, a vet assistant said they had to PTS a XL bully as it's owner was homeless (so no address to apply for exemption).

Yes let's allow this animal to roam the streets with it's homeless owner. No stresses or triggers that may cause it to attack an innocent member of the public and of course the owner is likely to be a pillar of responsibility.

The dog had been stabbed multiple times.

Fuck you and your "fantastic news" joy.

Reading dog body language is the same as looking both ways when you cross the road.

Myself, like many other dog owners, have had kids approach our dogs. My dog was nearly karate kicked in the face by one kid, and another time the child went to hit her over the head with a toy.
The parents are at fault here... not my dog

Fantastic news. One less monster.

This thread really shows why we need the ban to go further. Rehoming should not be an option at all. No dog should be so strong.

And do fuck off with the victim blaming. No we don't want to have to read dog body language, control your animal / weapon and don't blame kids for not knowing what to do. Keep it under control as us the law.

That is so true.
A magistrate I knew years ago referred an animal cruelty case to Crown Court because she wouldn't be able to impose a strict enough sentence on the 'defendents'.

I shan't say what they did, in case it gives sickos ideas, but it haunts me all these years later.

With 'vigilante ' justice, there is always the chance of targeting the wrong house.

A chap my husband worked with was stabbed in the chest one evening answering the door- It was a case of mistaken identity the Police thought.

The chap had just moved into the house a few weeks earlier. {before social media existed}. It's very easy to get all ''Pitchforks and flaming torches'' but if someone gets away with it for reasons you say, social media is a bad thing.

Someone was so say named for killing his XL Bully recently in England- with his name and address in a daily mail comment section.

I do think Rottweilers can be scary as well. Two times I’ve met aggressive ones and they could do some serious damage, but I wouldn’t be scared of death if one attacked me just serious injury. It would make sense for any potentially dangerous dog to need a license.

we should destroy all dogs which a toddler can’t beat in a fight

🙄 you’d expect a toddler to fight a dog? MN gets madder by the minute!

There will always be excuses for committing criminal acts, like blaming football for hooliganism. But vigilante actions are a really stupid idea and people need to be careful about what they share on social media - someone is going to walk free from a trial because all the jurors had been exposed to the details and thus unable to give a fair and unbiased judgement
Poor dog
