AGAIN! Something must be done

[Singersong]

Yes I know, another XL bulky thread. But seriously, this breed is like a mine field, randomly killing owners all over. You never know when/where it will happen next.

I truly can't wrap my head around people like this woman - may she rest in peace - who are all over the internet defending these KILLERS. They all think theirs is different, theirs would never kill, theirs is a big softy.

Is it time to do something more serious? The legislation brought in doesn't seem to have stopped deaths, although at least it does appear to be the owners (who are stupid enough to keep them) who are dying now instead of innocent members of the public.

I am a dog owner and dog lover. These XL bullies are terrifying. It’s horrific to find out yet another life has been taken and the family of this woman will never be the same.
Many, many people feel the same way as the OP.

@Escothesia
'veterinary professional' @Sulley2222 will be a dog besotted, pitbull apologist volunteer who sometimes interacts with vets.
@Willywaitingforbreakfast is clearly another dog besotted, pitbull apologist.

@Willywaitingforbreakfast 'This discussion is boring', well you seem to be very drawn to it, feel free to save yourself from boredom and leave the thread.

Cockapoos, labradoodles etc etc, are all mutant breeds what were once called mongrels, now they have a name but because they are smaller less dangerous no one worries about them obviously they can't do quite as much damage to an adult as an XL, a pit bull etc but my rottie has had smaller breeds like cockspoos jump at her and be vicious biting her nose , and small dogs can be just as dangerous to babies, I'd never leave a jack Russell in a room on its own with a baby,

Hi @Rottweilermummy, another dumb as a rock dog apologist I see!

Not at all yes there are dangerous dogs which should not be allowed , but it's not every dogs fault if they attack regardless of the breed , every dog is bred for a purpose , that's why there are different classes at crafts, each owner is responsible for the training of that dog and how they are in public, if your dog is vicious it should definitely always be on a lead and muzzled, if another dog comes up to yours and, either gets in their face or has a go/ attacks, yours retaliates whether on lead or not who's dog is in the wrong?? And Is it the dog that's in the wrong or the owner?

Anyone who would leave a baby alone with any breed of dog is an idiot. But how many people have been killed by a Jack Russell?!

All xl bully’s should be euthanised imo

I can't believe the apologists on here. You clearly care nothing for human life. People like yourselves are probably in a large way responsible for this poor woman's death as she probably listened to people like you on the internet saying it's the owner, not the breed. As long as you love them and don't abuse them all will be well....

This woman was only 23 years old, not having lived long enough to gain enough life experience to discern people speaking with an agenda from those speaking from fact as regards these animals. Probably believed the Nanny dog myth too.

But as long as the dogs are alright...

Well I'm not bored of reading these threads because the general consensus on them aligns with how I feel about it myself.

I'm sick of seeing them out and about around the area in which I live, half of them without a muzzle and some even without a lead. I truly wish they would hurry up and become extinct. Maybe another chav dullard should arrange another of those big "bully meet ups" somewhere secluded and let the situation sort itself out.

Has anybody seen the "pocket" ones? See pic. I walked past one of these today. The dogs breathing was absolutely terrible, it sounded like a fat old man with sleep apnoea. Just walking down the street at a normal pace.

It's cruel to create animals like this.

And here is what they call a "micro" bully.

Just what the fuck, honestly.

It doesn't even look like a dog.

I want to know how and when DEFRA and the relevant border agencies allowed pit bull dogs into this country in the first place. The DDA has been in place since 1991. That means that pits should not be possible to own here. So who the fuck let the descendents of Kimbo into the country???

Jack Russels can be dangerous to babies but the poster is still minimising.

Three babies have been killed in the last forty years in the UK by three different Jack Russels. They were unattended as far as I can tell, and in two cases other dog breeds were involved.

About 13 staffies have killed people (including adults) in the UK in the last 20 years.

About 13 Bully XLs have killed people (including adults) in the UK in the last 4 years.

Those pocket and micro look like grotesque frankenstein parodies of dogs.

They both also look like they are suffering. The eyes of the 'pocket' one look desperate frankly, I actually feel sorry for it.

Oh god I didn’t know that 😟 Very sad stats but you can’t deny the xl bully attacks are far more common and they are in fact a dangerous breed.

All these dogs and their owners should be dumped on Anthrax Island and left to get on with it. Make regular drops of dog biscuits, cans of Red Bull and burgers. I personally resent having to share the planet with humans who are this reckless and deluded.

Absolutely, the fatalities from XL Bullys are over 40 times more common than Jack Russells (based on people killed per year). And, of course, Jack Russells can only kill babies whereas an XL Bully can kill just about anyone.

That reminds me of the evil dog thing off the ghost busters. That terrified me as a kid lol

Holy shit I thought the dog was just taken to his kennels by the police.I didn’t know Saved our Seized dogs had a hand in it.
That despicable organisation put fundraisers out where there is an incident so the dog can once again be free to attack again.
They should be sued for every dog they get back out in the population again that is attacking.

Oh dear another breed apologist.
No dear don’t bother with the “you’re all just being brainwashed by the Newspapers”.
Sadly dog attacks by this type of dog are all over social media of humans and other pets.They aren’t being invented it is really happening, but of course as a breed apologist you will just come out with some pitbull bingo excuse

Interesting stats. Not sure if it’s been mentioned but apparently her staffy joined in and attacked her too after the XL bully did. It’s all very sad.

I think we need better rules on dogs in the UK irrespective of breed. For example in Germany I think it is - they have rules about the length of your dog lead in busy areas ie. So you don’t get people using retractable leads everywhere. And certain carriages in trains are dogs friendly other carriages are dog free. And some countries impose muzzles more widely.

I was on a UK train recently where a dog was running up and down the aisle and no one seemed to care. This looked like quite a small relatively harmless dog but It bothered me that you can’t escape a potentially very strong and unpredictable animal in a confined space like that which you can’t just easily leave. What if it were a more powerful breed of dog in that train?

Lol at the 'You're racist' one. I would have said that was far out the gate, but we literally had an accusation of racism and anti-immigrant on the thread😂😂

I’m not sure what everyone saying that they all need to be culled immediately are expecting? We’re not going to see the effects of the ban overnight until the breed starts to die out - which shouldn’t take too long as they’re always such unwell dogs anyway (terrible joints so in chronic pain a lot of them which will not be helping their temperament).

KK's frozen sperm is being used for artificial insemination. The dogs themselves aren't being let into the country.
