TW - Upsetting information: XL Bully attack *edited by MNHQ

[Citylightsarebright]

Another xl bully attack, this time it was in my home town last week.
An xl bully ran out of the house down the road and attacked the nearest dog it saw a little dauchshund ripping both its legs off, it took 4 men and two women to get the xl bully off the other dog. The other little dog is alive thanks to the bravery of other people there at the time , however it had to have both legs ( what was left of them ) amputated.
Its extremely sad. The owner of the dauchshund is an elderly lady who was out walking the little dog ans she is utterly traumatised as expected.
The dog has been seized and owners will be prosecuted we have been told.
The reason I'm posting this is because I feel prosecution and dog being seized hasnt really solved anything has it? What is being done to prevent what happened in the first place? Nothing?? These dogs are still attacking / killing animals and children/ adults
Am I being unreasonable in thinking enough isnt being done to get rid of these hurrendous dogs?????

The media shows u what they want to. Isnt it funny how one attack now all of a sudden theres how many in the papers? Look into other dog breeds that have killed? Theres plenty…

One of the idiots who is playing hero and shipping them off to Scotland has indeed had a
little run in with one of the XL bullies he is transporting.Of course he will be rehoming this dog with no checks on who he is rehoming to.He has already had one dog shot after it attacked another, a dog called Kilo got shot by police.
Can guess when he went to the hospital he said it was a chihuahua that bit him.

That is terrifying OP.

That poor little dog and the owner.
I would sign a gov.uk petition to call for them all to be humanely destroyed to keep the public and other dogs safe.

There is having a little dog with bad attitude, and a dog that is bred to fight to the death that is over 100 lbs.There is no comparison and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

You don’t have to read it when you see the title of the thread.
It is sadly what many owners are dealing with on a daily basis up and down the country.Many are left with very expensive vet bills others die.

So many apologists!

Numerous dog owners killed or severely injured by xl bully's in their own 'control'.

It's bad enough that I've been google searching the best way to defend myself and daughter from any potential attacks.

Get a grip 🙄

You came on here to express an opinion that defies logic and rational thinking, defies facts and evidence, and now you're spouting word salad to make yourself sound impressive.

Instead it makes you sound like you lack critical thinking skills and you're justifying it as though its some clever thought out social experiment to put an opinion out there that isn't the norm.

Funnily enough, it's possible to be 2 things at once, logical and emotional on account of us not being robots.

This

they arent bred to fight and kill…its the owners breeding and using them
for protection because of their size. They need to be prosecuted why keep an animal like that? Look at their home ask them the questions where they got the dog who the breeder is then the picture builds…these people are the issue. Look at the cane corso dogs iv seen these they are daft as anything and so soft in temprement but HUGE like a horse if it runs in the park u cant control that how can u? so where does owner responsibility come in? If a dogs too large and muscly to compete with a human or a dog then it needs to go to the right owners poss the police? Theh need to be trained correctly

The "it's not the breed, it's the owners" nonsense ignores that these dogs were specifically bred - and massively inbred- to be like this. Hair-trigger temper, extremely aggressive, incredibly strong, insensitive to pain, will not stop for anything. The best owner in the world (not that a best owner would have an XL bully) can't stop that.

I would be getting some sort of protect a pet fencing up as I’m sorry your cats will not stand a chance.

A Cane Corso is a fucking guard dog. Not a household domestic pet.

Okay again, the apologists, if this dog is perfectly lovely and has coincidentally only been bought by fools, why do they turn so quickly. Why do they turn on their owners?
Why do they have such short temperaments that every single thing has to be perfect or else it’ll rip your head off? If this dog is such a gentle giant why does the slightest thing, such as a baby crying, a sneeze, a cat 3 miles away piss it off to the point it’s maiming adults, children and other dogs.

Please listen to what people are saying here, and consider for a moment that they may have a point.

If, by some microscopic chance, all these dogs have bypassed being bought by a decent owner and just idiots then what is the solution. We all have to be fearful, on alert and fed up because it’s not the dogs fault?
People and other animals have to just deal with being bit or attacked by one because it’s unethical to blame a dog for its own behaviour

I get where you are coming for I really do, but if you were to see all the posts on Facebook every time one of these XL’s attacks and it is a lot, you have all the idiots come out defending these maulers.
They are as vile as their dogs.

Here here

One thing that really gets me is the constant assertion that it's not the dog's fault.
Actually, I don't care whether or not it's the dog's fault. The dog does it.
I want the dog to stop killing and maiming.
The obvious solution is to remove the dog from the situation.
These normal situations with adults and children and other dogs, that seem to provoke the XL bullies to attack, whether or not it's the actual dog's fault.

That’s my eye roll moment too
Like what does it matter who’s bloody fault it is

Jack Lis is the name of the little lad killed by one of these XL bullies.He could only be identified by his shoe such were his injuries.
I disagree with what you are saying about the tootle being too graphic, it’s just the actual truth of what happened and more people need to be aware of what is happening.

Guns are only a danger to the public in the hands of irresponsible people. Guns are still banned.

Don’t talk wet.
The media is only a part of it.I take it you mean the papers.
If you were aware of how many attacks that are actually happening by XL’s you wouldn’t be writing such tripe.
It’s happening up and down the country.
And what is this one attack you are talking about, they are attacking all the time.Other dogs don’t even compare and when they do bite it’s one bite and it’s over not fight to the death.
You are just another Pit idiot pushing the propaganda.

Did your title have to be so graphic? That's quite triggering.

Animals arent guns they walk and act for themselves they have lives they need to be treated exactly what they are dogs…who need to know who the leader is and if they cant listen then that dog needs to be trained end of esp the size of these

As aggressive as the dogs we're discussing? I must have missed the part where people died after being "aggressively" argued with on Mumsnet. These dogs are killing humans and other pets on a regular basis. Get real.
