XL bully shot

Pits and XL bullies are used for sexual purposes -revolting but true.

What utter imbeciles.

I swear no other 'type' of dog attracts such moronic ownership as XL Bully type.

A man was torn asunder by his three XL Bullies in front of his son - in USA- at a PLAYGROUND.

XLBullies seem to be mentally extremely unstable.

Seriously posted photo of dog with a BONER?

As far as the original subject of this post the owners had a vigil last night and proceeded to set off a load of bastard fireworks off leaving my dog terrified 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry, I should have been clearer. My comment about 'sexual relations' was in response to @SensibleSigma describing her dog as the love of her life; this term is normally reserved for romantic/sexual partners (rather than family members in general).

The dog had a history of aggression.
I hope they throw the book at them.

I live alone with my dog. She is my family. You don't get to say what other people refer to their companion animals as. It has no affect on your life whatsoever.
BTW, you don't have to have sexual relations for someone to be family. Think about it.

It's not a member of the family it's a dog.
Are you saying that your dog is the love of your life, ie your sexual and romantic partner? Isn't that illegal?

I think it’s really sad. I’m trying to imagine the loving dogs of my life turning on me, or anyone, and struggling. Having a dog you love, in your home, a member of the family, and euthanising it because of a theoretical danger- I would struggle with that.

However, my loving dogs were supervised around children. I guess from the fact this baby is still alive that the mum was close at hand.

I’m not defending anyone. I’m just putting myself in the shoes of someone with that dog, and imagining why they would risk it. The mum probably had very little choice given she’s very young and living with her gran and brother. I wonder if social services were aware.

"They used to get in the travel cot together..."

Why are people so fucking thick?!

"Another family member said the baby and the dog were "like two peas in a pod"."

How on earth people make a statement like this with a straight face! A baby is a baby and a dog a dog. They are not peas in a pod, they are completely different. The vulnerable baby needs protection from the dog.

Another one. An 8 month old baby in a serious condition.

I've met tiny terriers that have scared me more than most of the XL bullies I've met.

It's not the breed it's the owners. XLBs are popular with roadmen for defensive purposes.

Not an XL, but the best dogs I've ever met were staffies.

I have noticed a lot of women who have these are also attracted to violent men.
”I can save him!”

It’s bizarre and very arrogant.

XLs unlike a lot of the other aggressive breeds are seen as a great threat because of poor breeding. All the other dogs, you get a warning sign or you can predict how and what will cause them to turn. XLs, certainly all the attacks that have happened, turn on a dime with no cause and no way to predict. They will attack with tails wagging, which would normally be seen as play - not with them. They can be cuddle and lovable no doubt, but the smallest thing can and will set them off and no one can predict it, that's why experienced dog behavioural therapists and trainers don't believe they're family friendly.

With humans, you can have someone who's special forces with an instinct and training to shoot first ask question later but always with a reason. Or sociopaths with zero rationale or predictability who will attack for some perceive minor wrong. XL Bullies are the sociopath and suffer from bad breeding and unstable wiring. All fighting breeds have the ability to become killing machines in the wrong hands, but XL bullies can be killing machines even in the right ones.

Or they have a saviour complex and enjoy the ego boost of caring for a dog that most people wouldn't want (makes them feel that they are better than most people).

Some people also think that because harsh treatment can easily ruin a dog's character, animals always give back what they receive from humans and that loving a dog is enough to make it loving and gentle in return. It's a dangerous form of the anthropomorphism of dogs which is much too common these days in general.

They remind me of the guy who tried to domesticate a hippo and said the hippo was 'like a son to him'. The hippo killed him.
