Another XL Bully Attack

Because they know they would have their arse handed to them. And rightly so!

I'm now in favour of a mass cull and I never have been with any other breed. Pre my daughter I actually own a staffie cross and she was a very sweet girl, but I still wouldn't have had her if I had kids at the time because they're still powerful dogs with a high prey drive.

XL bullies are monsters with a completely unpredictable temperament. Humans have created a dog that should never have existed

They are a lethal combination. They are also absolutely lovely until the second they aren’t and then they are unstoppable. They just snap there’s no warning sign they go from loving family pet to killer in a second and that’s why they all need to be pts

There was a post on mumsnet recently with a mother saying she was worried about her child going on a play date in a house which had one of these dogs. She knew the mother of the other child and apparently she was very nice person. I believe she decided against it in the end I hope she reads this post and realizes that she made the right decision

When a species becomes extinct it's generally regarded as a tragedy.

If this particular breed of dog becomes extinct it will not be considered a tragedy - and with good reason.

I am vegetarian. I love animals. I would like these dogs to be humanely euthanised in order to preserve human life, human safety, and other animal safety.

I used to work in a pet shop and a man would regularly come in with his XL bully. This was prior to the ban so she was unmuzzled. He used to say she was friendly as long as you didn’t make eye contact with her! Hmm that’s not friendly in my view.

Last I heard, she had been destroyed as she kept getting out of his garden and getting into the primary school playing field over the road. They actually had to put a protocol in place for the children in case the dog escaped.

Only two types of people own these dogs - absolute knuckle draggers and brainwashed dog obsessives who believe they're sweet really and "it's the owner, not the breed".

These dogs need to be illegal

The incomprehensible and frustrating part is that in comparison to gun laws in the US this is so much easier to legislate against, we don't have the difficulty of the constitution process

We have worse. The tyranny of the thick.

People who own one should be forced to make this clear outside of their home, with a dangerous dog sign

They're so so dangerous, that poor boy

Awful dogs. I know a couple that split up over this. Friend was pregnant and her DP brought an XL bully puppy home one day and he couldn't train it. She wanted him to re-home before the baby came but he wouldn't. Ended up with her leaving over it and she won't allow access to the child now because of the worries over this dog. Problem is with these dogs is these attacks are in their nature, I think they have a kill drive. Pairing that with the stupid and unreasonable owners that seem to buy them constantly ends in disaster.

Too little.

Too late.

So glad to hear that and so they should be

How many threads now? So many. And nothing. It's madness

It says in the article that the owner has been arrested and the dog destroyed.

That poor little lad.

Why oh why are people so utterly thick.

Yet you still have the stupid people on FB setting up groups to "protect the XL Bully breed". I'm sick of hearing "it's not the dog it's the owner", I know that is true in some cases but these dogs are dangerous regardless of the owner.

@Mlanket , I totally agree , I really can’t comprehend why you would have an XL bully at all , it having one around children is insane .

That's a massive generalisation and horribly classist - doesn't mean you're wrong though...

It's the issue of them in public too. Idiots who don't muzzle them then walk around public parks where kids are playing. They have literally no control over them and wouldn't be able to do a thing to stop them if they attacked.

I certainly wouldn't visit a house with one and I think anyone who has them as a pet (especially in a house with kids) is fucking ridiculous. But you can't help bumping into them out and about sometimes. Then what do you do?

Just cull the lot of them.

Yes your posts have made me think the same

I would happily see a law to cull. They are a danger to children and other people

I - and others - keep posting that this is the UKs equivalent of the high school massacre. Happens again and again and again and again with nothing really being done.

With so many attacks and so little done, it will only be a matter of time before some numbnuts is walking (or to be more accurate is being walked by) one of these mutt machine guns and it will slip the lead (if it has one) and get into a playground. And all my fervent praying - and yours - isn't going to stop it.

Yes & I feel very sorry for those dc, at risk of harm from stupid parents & they have no choice.

True but a lot of the victims ARE children of parents who have these dogs around their kids
