Another XL Bully Attack

Seriously, it must be terrifying being an emergency worker, not knowing what you're walking in to!

Completely agree, it's a temporary way to keep people safe

I had hoped that the first plan was to get them registered so that they could prepare plans to euthanize these dogs

As much as I feel badly for the dogs, human safety must come first, and it's children and local people who are at huge risk

I'd report that to the dog warden and police

Look at all the ear cropping cunts on that.

@Mumofnarnia Just so you know, putting silly emojis and endless !!! doesn't make your point any more valid.

You don't have to like staffies or other bull breeds. That's your personal choice. But there is no legislation to ban them. Or cull them. There aren't endless reports of them attacking like XL bullies because they are not the same for the reasons already listed.

Lumping all bull breeds together isn't helpful. It just dilutes the focus that should be on XL bullies who really are a danger to the public.

Also I have zero respect for anyone who wants to defend any type of killer dog who once it locks its jaws on something won’t let go! Defend until the cows come home, nobody is listening to you

Somebody found one wandering locally recently. Put pics on FB before taking to a vet for chip identification. The dog was enormous, it also had cropped ears. The comments though, none about the actual terrible danger of this dog being loose and unmuzzled, it was all "poor baby", "what an angel", so on and so forth. It blows my mind that anybody can have these dogs as pets.

They still get out of houses and gardens though

I'd just get rid

There's an XL Bully lives in a sheltered housing complex near me where my Auntie lives. The dog is walked unmuzzled by a woman using a wheelchair.

Oh really 🤣 And let me know just how many staffys have attacked people! Like I say, I’m a responsible parent and no sort of bully breed is ever coming near my child so be an apologist for them all you like. Won’t do you any favours on this thread

Day in day out Staffies are the subject of destruction orders in the magistrates courts. They do a lot of damage. Just not as much headline killing as XL Bullies do.

What a good mum.

@Mumofnarnia completely your choice. But comparing a staffy to an XL is utterly pointless. They are incomparable. I don't have a staffy either but I don't have the same feelings towards them as I do towards XL bullies.

Yes like the sex offenders register.. If they're not all shot (my preferred option), We should all have a right to know where they live (and should be kept confined) so we can avoid them.

It needs to be a recognised safeguarding issue. No XL bully in a house where a child lives or visits

Put it this way I wouldn’t have any form of ‘bully breed’ around my children. Many other bully breeds have also attacked children in the past! And I really don’t want to hear “it’s not the dog it’s the owner” bullshit! I really could not give a shit! I would never let my child anywhere near a bully breed whether xl or otherwise! A staffy once attacked my horse, completely unprovoked and the only reason its jaws let go of her is because she seriously injured it with her hoof! Otherwise there’s no way that dog was ever letting go! And it was a pup at that! No way would I have any bully near my kids!

I haven't heard that idea floated before but it is a damn good one!

If I knew where these devil dogs were I could change the route I walk etc. It would make parents think more and help protect workers who visit homes eg paramedics.

Thank god for MN when it comes to this subject. Some actual sense.

I am sick to the back teeth of the freak mutant dog sympathising morons all over FB.

"It's the deeeed not the bweeeed" - the absolute biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard. These things have been bred down from Pitbulls - Pitbulls are a fighting breed, bred to launch an attack, lock on and destroy. This instinct is now running amock in this country. A fighting breed's instinct taken out on humans and other animals.

Destroy the fucking lot of them. They are like guns. Nobody has a reasonable need for one and that's how they should be treated - like lethal weapons. Every single day they are not all culled is another day we are all at risk from another savage mauling.

For actual fuck sake. Just round the lot up and shoot them. Horrible bastard things. I love and own dogs but I fucking hate this type of bull breed. Hate them and their thick, scabby, twat owners.

You are fooling yourself, please protect your children. All bully breeds come from breeds bred to tear down bulls, or fight in pits. You are very lucky your dog hasn't turned yet, and maybe it won't, but there is an increased chance it will, over other dogs who were bred to herd or retrieve.

At least. There will be more, but they don't all get reported.

Good for her. Has he pushed to see the baby? I am interested in whether a court will side with her on this. What an idiot man to choose a dog over his own child.

Isn't that the third child attack by these dogs this week...?

I have children and a 'bully breed'. I still hate XL's and have said many times they should be culled. They are not the same as other breeds, not by a long shot.

Most bull breeds are strong. As are many other breeds. But it's the temperament, DNA and interbreeding that sets XL bullies apart.

This is the huge problem with these dogs though. They really are big soft gentle giants but they have something dreadfully wrong where they go from that to killing they just snap. Owners are so deluded and under the spell that they can’t see how it could happen with their dog . This unpredictability is what makes a cull necessary

Poor darling boy. He is so lucky to be alive. It is a shame that so many children are being offered up as dog food to these horrendous shitbulls. Parents who knowingly take they child to a house with a bully breed surely know by now the risk they are taking, and I think of their child is attacked, they should be charged with child endangerment.

I am vegan and totally agree with a total cull of these nasty breeds.

I do not allow my children to visit homes with dogs, let alone bully breeds.
