Grandmother killed by 2 XL bullies

[ABCDEFGHIJK123456]

Grandmother killed by 2 XL bullies whilst apparently separating fighting bully pups.

Longer jail sentences, minimum of 5 years for owners of dogs that kill people for not controlling them.

Aibu?

I’m so over this now. There are many more years to come of these vile dogs especially as some are mere puppies now. How many more deaths? Enough is enough - round the fuckers up and humanely destroy them, each and every one.

Mum and dad dog were in the house with the puppies. Lady hit the puppies with a broom, dogs attacked her.
Absolute tragic but let's not act like they attacked out of nowhere.

Everyone says their "dogs are gentle never attacked anyone" to disminish blame ...people know when their dogs are aggressive or have shown aggression.

When it's a xl bully or suspected, it's headline news, several fear mongering threads to encourage harassment against good owners...

that poor sausage dog which was thrown around by a German shepard type, sure none of you made a thread on that Or even heard of it? Have a Google caught on cctv.

Please don't ever own an animal with that attitude.
Yuk embarrassing

Anyone who agrees with banning breeds is unhinged don't you understand that?

It DOES NOT WORK attacks happen
It's backyard breeders/unlicensed dogs which are the issue and shitty owners who laugh when their dog chases a cat/fox/squirrel

What's "yuk, embarrassing" is the straw-clutching excuses for yet another death courtesy of these things. It's apparently never the fault of the dog, something always provoked them. Apparently they're easily provoked seeing as other breeds manage not to fly off the handle and kill whatever person is in front of them on a regular basis.

I agree that in an ideal world they would all be euthanised. Aside from the human deaths it will save many other dogs a horrible death or severe injury.

I think we can guess what type of dog don'tkillspiders owns, not that they'd admit it 😂

Re those commenting on the people around hearing screaming and doing nowt: you've clearly never been to Jaywick. If you have any sense, you keep yourself to yourself and hope for the best. People living there don't trust the police at all. There has been outreach work done over the years, but Jaywick residents are let down time and time again by everybody in any semblance of power.

That;s horrendous!

You had more courage than I think I would, grabbing the collar (at least it had a collar - many don't). It could have turned on you in a heartbeat.

I couldn't agree more.

The only 'rough' breed I've ever known was a Rottweiler owned by a friend of mine. She is so dedicated to the well-being and careful training of her dogs that I once saw her dog twist in mid-air and drop like a stone when leaping to catch a ball, simply because my friend said "Down."

And the only time she (the dog, a female) showed any aggression around children was when she nipped the back of a toddler's coat to pull them away from a high open window.

The thousands of hours it took to achieve that kind of relationship (on top of the 5 years it took to feel comfortable with the right breeder before buying the puppy) was a huge eye-opener for me on how much work it really takes to be a good dog owner.

I'll never have that kind of dedication so I will never own any breed of dog. The standard should always be that high.

Yup. Got bitten by a Parson's Jack Russell, (twice) which is why I'm now scared of dogs. Bloody hurt like hell, but there was no lasting injury except a small scar on my hand. Big dogs however terrify me.

Saying that I saw someone walking what I think was an XL bully the other day. It was muzzled and on a lead. The owners could see I was scared and kept their dog away from me. Wish more owners were like that! Unlike the woman who let her dog jump up at me a few weeks prior.

@oakleaffy You are a hero saving those two dogs like that. I like to think I would have been the same if my (late) lab had ever been in this position. I loved him so very much I would have fought to the death for him. I was only once in a similar position, two guard dogs (Alsations/German Shepherds?) escaped from a local builders back yard, just as I was walking past with my young son and my lab. They blocked our way and I could see they were ready to attack, probably waiting for my dog to look at them the wrong way or something! I put myself in front of my son and dog and started to slip my foot out of my trainer as it was the only "weapon" I could think of to use. I intended to whack them on the nose if they'd attacked, it probably wouldn't have stopped them but it was all I could think of. I've never felt so scared in my life. Suddenly, there was a high pitched whistle and they turned, like robots, and ran back to the builders house. They were obviously extremely well trained to react like that but I dread to think what would have happened if the builder hadn't called them back.

@Dontkillspiders ”yuk embarrassing “ are you 12…

For a start what is a dad in the dog world. Also she didn't hit a box full of whelps. She tried to break up a fight between 5 month old pits the size of Labradors. What did you expect her to do? Gently manoeuvre them with her bare hands? Or rip one another to shreds? Second option would have been the best

Interview with Ashley Warren. He says he didn't know bully dogs were aggressive and now wants the entire breed 'wiped out'.

He now wants the 'Type' wiped out... But he was happy to believe that everyone saying they were vicious were lying, in the face of terrible tragedies.

These dogs are indeed monsters.

There will be more human deaths at the maws of these beasts.

The father in the video is now like the others who have lost a loved one who turn against this Type of fighting mutt.

This is another tragedy waiting to happen 9 XL bullies in a house with young children.

The fact she has young children makes her unbelievably reckless.

I actually think they’ve gone the wrong way with banning breeds too! I was working for a month as a temp PA to the Spads in Defra (I don’t mention this here generally as not relevant really) when the banning dogs issue came up. Basically the banning dogs is agreed because there’s not the time, energy etc to look into other more costly interventions and legislation which need to happen and which takes time. And they’re worried about the general election. Therese Coffey who resigned just after I left (but this was expected) was nice and well meaning but with a tough job generally on her hands:

Adding to the dog aggression stories. My family had an Afghan hound and Labrador when I was a child and a teenager. In the wider family were mostly German shepherds (long haired) Doberman (both probably guard and family dogs as the families lived in London) and smaller breeds, sort of toy dogs.

With my Labrador as a teenager there used to be an aggressive man walking a Rottweiler who did attack the Labrador once or twice. My parents as I recall tried to speak to the man and might’ve threatened police but in the end we just avoided him. The Rottweiler was probably lovely just with the wrong owner. Locally, I think before covid a woman’s dog was savaged and killed by a much larger dog, can’t recall if it was an aggressive type or not. So many people though have dogs and don’t bother to find out much about them, want them as status symbols or toys. This needs to change.

He’s trying to avoid going to prison and thinks speaking out in favour of the law is his best hope.

Weird that, type in "Staffordshire terrier attacks people" and up comes a whole list of recent attacks by these dogs inc on children.

Did same with German Short haired Pointer and guess what? none.

As i said, look what they were breed for and they still have pretty much the same physical characteristics as ones breed 200 years ago.

Plus they have been used for dog fighting up to the present day, wonder why.

Yes, my first thought was that he wants to avoid jail.

''He’s trying to avoid going to prison and thinks speaking out in favour of the law is his best hope.''

That was my feeling too, hearing him blathering on.
He seemed more intent on what people

''Thought of him''
Than of an innocent woman slaughtered by his Pit-beasts.

Such turn-coatery

''We was waiting til they was older to get them exempted and neutered''

Sure you were, buddy.

So say the female dog getting pregnant was a ''Mistake''.

Responsible owners don't keep an entire male and female together..cuz, you know, biology...

Responsible owners also get a dog that has been mated a ''Morning after ''injection to stop pregnancy - or do a spay abort.

But he wanted to make money from these beasts- wonder where the 'Puppies' are now.

Good god state of him, didn't know they were dangerous my arse!
