Woman 19 dies in dog attack

Same with my local page. 2 XL bullies went for each other with the owner’s new baby less than 1/2 metre away and the dozens of replies are along the lines of ‘Ah poor things. Maybe one is feeling poorly’ and streams of dog Trainer recommendations. So many pro messages re ‘Any dog can turn’ and someone even posted ‘ Every being squabbles, fingers crossed things sort themselves’. Others defending them saying ‘Bless ‘em’ , ‘They are the softest breed’ and saying it’s a ridiculous ban. The owner was looking for advice as she thinks it could be down to jealously of the new baby but there is more concern regarding these animals than any regard for the children in the home!

Could anyone point me in the right direction with regard to starting a Petition...? Please! 🤞

Looking at the Facebook page of the dogs owner, she was one of those who was trying to arrange for these monsters to be sent to Scotland to be rehomed when the ban was enacted.

There's a woman on Tik Tok with a spotty XL and she's always doing piss take videos about how aggressive he is (NOT) basically very sarcastic stuff. I really want to comment along the lines of yeah it's all very funny until he turns on you. But it's not worth it for all the 'owner not breed' morons I'd attract.

FWIW I own a bull breed and even I think all XLs should be put down. They are not comparable to any other dog. They're monsters.

Until it’s not…. and therein lies the problem.

Hmm, looks like the compulsory muzzle work really well...

One of my neighbours has one, and I call it a smouldering Molotov cocktail.

The current law was a pathetic and irresponsible cop out, has given the police an impossible job and left the public at risk.

It’s really difficult to expect police to be able to identify a dog breed when out on the street. Massive waste of police resources checking is it or isn’t it.

The muzzling law leaves children within a house vulnerable and a dog can always escape…

The ones I see near me are non-castrated males. Obviously illegal breeding is taking place.

It’s out of control.

Time for a complete cull and ban.

AND it got me thinking about how i'd handle it if any future friends of my DC has one at home.

How to word it.

Sorry, we have a problem with the breed of dog you have but would be more than happy for little x, y z to come to us for tea instead. ?

Judging by the amount of FB replies fawning over this XL recently i'm sure i'd be seen as up my own arse, but i'd rather that than risk my kid having her face torn off.

Put the bloody things down.

A woman on our local FB page posted with a moan about how other folks would cross the road or pull their dog away from her XL.

Along with pics of this thing rolling round the living room floor with her kids.

The amount of replies saying how sweet the dog looked ! and oooh how awful people are to swerve her. How they'd make a point of fussing over her in future ...

I now see that the average IQ of the villagers here is lower than i thought ...

Couldn’t agree more! Like when people whitter on that their dog is being “discriminated” against because of its breed. It’s a bloomin’ DOG - get over yourself!

The police shouldn't have to prove it! Just shoot them on sight! Why do we care about the rights of dogs? The rights of humans not to be attacked should take precedence!

The uk has no money for even the most routine policing. This would take a huge amount of resource and would face serious opposition. It's just not going to happen.

At least if they are kept indoors the innocent passersby people walking their Children and pet dogs on the street will be safer.

However the indoor attacks could well include innocent children calling round, like sweet innocent Jack Lees.

It shows the deranged level of thinking on these estates- Police = Bad
Vicious type of dog =Nanny dog ( the nanny dog is a myth. - Pit bulls were NEVER used historically to look after children- in fact a breeder of Pit Bulls, Colby, lost a nephew and an adult male to his pitbulls.

Wanted to add: People will still keep these rigs even if a full ban is issued. They will call them another name and it's difficult to prove it is an xl. No one is going to be policing this so unless someone reports the right people will keep having them. People are ignoring the current laws and nothing is being done. It's unlikely neighbours are going to report these dogs. They are not reporting the unmuzzled ones. It might force more people to hide them in doors all the time and that will just make the situation worse when the dogs get so bored and stir crazy. People are still breeding them as I have seen puppies that look very close to xl type. I don't know what the answer is.

This came up on my local news
A neighbour of the girl was interviewed and the dog is walked nearby daily but the owners said to her" Don't worry, he's friendly"... until he wasn't
Makes me sick
These dogs are a lethal weapon bought by idiots who have no idea how to handle them. Akin to a Zombie knife in their pockets
Instant euthanasia for all, in my opinion, no exception... even for the poster above with the police handler DH
The police aren't armed with guns here either

One thing I cannot understand is why any owner who says an XL Bully is ‘like any other dog’, owns one? If they are like any other dog….. just get a different dog?

I wouldn’t say I’m a dog person (although we had a lovely dog for years who I adored), but the idea of putting dogs to sleep who haven’t done anything wrong feels so sad.

but then again, we wouldn’t be allowing people to have pet lions. This really can’t be allowed to continue.

Sorry but the police are useless with this and I don't even think a ban will solve it. My neighbour has two which have attacked people twice when they escaped the house. One was ordered to be put to sleep but he passed it to his cousin and it was never checked up on. He claimed the other is something else called another bully name. I have reported it for aggression to my own small dc probably 10 times. The police told me they think it's fine as it initially barked on their visit but calmed down after a while. I did explain that they are grown men and it acting aggressive to small dc was more worrying. Despite the remaining one taking part in the attacks, it was left off due to insufficient evidence. One of the victims had half his stomach ripped out ! The police may as well have laughed in my face when they told me they thought the dog was "alright" and I responded in tears. I can't wait for the thing to die

I am a dog lover. These aren’t dogs. They are genetically programmed killing machines.

I know what you mean. I look at those things with their thick, weirdly muscled heads, and their cold piggy eyes, and I just feel revulsion.
Any sane dog lover should hate them, they kill people's beloved pet dogs regularly.

"They killed my dog!!" 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fucking sociopath. At least the dog had the luxury of a humane death, unlike her actual relative.

'I feel for Kelcie so much, it wasn't her fault and also it was her pet. I just feel it was one of those freak accidents.

And it was also her cousin!

That’s why they had a riot van there all night.

Any excuse to have a go at police, yet it’s almost always Council Estates that have these XLB’s in.

Araminta from
a nice place in the Shires wouldn’t have one.
