Vicious XL Bully attack leaves five-year-old boy with life-changing injuries and needing facial reconstruction surgery | Daily Mail Online

Little Teddy needed 100 stitches in his face but was lucky to escape with his life.

Is it unreasonable now to ask the Government to give a warning in the media, that children are to be kept away from these dogs? Not to enter a house or garden where they're known to be? Even if told that the dog is safe, which they are not.
This little chap was visiting a home with his family when it struck.

These XL Bullies are extremely unstable temperamentally.
Massively inbred, they are bred from pitbull dog fighting dogs and American bullies-
Both types of dog heavily implicated in attacks on their owners , children, people’s pet dogs and horses.- not to mention sheep.

They are like a psychopath- can turn in an instant.

There will be another one in a week or two. Then another. Then another.

People don't always know there is going to be an xl bully present in the house they or their child is visiting.

The poor children with moronic parents who keep one in a house won't have a chance.

The amount of attacks still happening in public spaces and parks, non lethal for humans only by sheer luck is shocking.

The ban is not protecting anyone. They didn't go nearly far enough.

Poor boy , that’s so sad

VeryCheesyChips · 08/11/2024 15:19

Put them down. Would I fuck risk one of them around my children and anyone who would is an unfit parent.

Poor, poor boy.

Of course all dangerous dogs should be banned and culled and any owners who break the law should be punished harshly.

However some people really don’t help themselves. There is not a chance in hell that I’d visit a house where there was an XL bully present and I’d no more allow my toddler to go there than I would allow him to play with a gun.

Feels like a weekly occurrence at the moment.

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/11/2024 15:14

I'd treat it like smoking in the house or drug-taking. No way would my child be visiting.

There has been so much media coverage about how dangerous they are.

If you let your child go into a home where one is present and not locked in another room or muzzle, that's on you.

This isn't some moral dilemma that a nation of vegans is facing. Just cull them already.
