When will people wake the fuck up

@mildlysweaty.. We have to share the planet with such people.

Those poor girls.

Surely it should be a criminal offence to have a killing machine with young children? Parents have to have some level of responsibility and putting their love of a dog before their own child should trigger something??,

There are a few near me who do this as well. It's been reported multiple times and come to nothing and they threaten their neighbours when they complain. It is terrifying because I can't avoid my kids being in harm's way

I hope you have reported them

If you read her updates, she did.

This is something that really worries me too.
Something needs to be done.

What about this stuff?

Have you reported him to the police?

Couldn’t agree more

@hazelnutvanillalatte @powotsits

Mp and paper.

Say what you said, I can't avoid my child being in harms way.

The video posted up thread showed a mail man in the US trying to use this on an XL bully and it made not one jot of difference.
Neither did the guy smashing it with a bin. In the end, they had to get a hammer on the thing

Also how do you know what people have in their house in regard to play dates? Teenagers will be going to mates houses without parental supervision. They just aren’t worldly wise enough to think that’s an XL bully and I need to head off home. They are going to he playing with it alongside their friends. These dogs need to just be legislated out of the country.

The other thing I’ve seen mentioned is wasp spray. But that’s going to be hard to carry in your handbag 🤪

Signing up to Mumsmet to post this.. could Mumsmet run a campaign to cull these dogs?

I have felt anxious about them ever since having a baby, and having walked past a few I’m not convinced they’re anything like most dog breeds. It’s an absolute tragedy that this little girl lost her life.

Bloody hell...that's sore.

Before the 'ban' I was walking my Whippet and a friend's small Lurcher.

I heard a woman screaming, and looked and saw a massive XL Pit charging for us.

I got behind a gate, and put my two on leads.

It crashed through the fence and my two dogs were terrified, frantically trying to escape their collars- I had to unclip them both.

The XL Pit wasn't sure which one to go for first, but my dog was staying close to me.

It was horrendous- I was sure she was going to be killed- only her agile nature kept her from being caught, until the brute cornered her.

I grabbed the XL's collar then, and it was like being dragged by a horse.

I was bouncing around on it's back, holding onto to it's collar, while being dragged down a flight of steps

My weight {9.5 stones} hanging off its collar caused it to slow up eventually

It's owner seemed afraid of it.

The owner was awful.

I was injured and took months to recover -musculoskeletal and hand injury from holding on to its collar} to enable mine to get away.

The Dog warden found my friend's dog who had been caught by a kindly street sweeper - he noticed her ''running terrified'' and caught her with a bit of string and a bit of his sandwich. {Whoever you are, thank you}

The Warden was wonderful and said had I not released my two, they would probably have been killed being as they are small and light {10.5 kgs each}

Thankfully that XL didn't attack me- it was fixated upon my dog.

Warden didn't fine me for having a loose dog- due to the circumstances. He delivered my friend's dog back to my home {I could barely walk due to injuries}

Warden also said that he has been pulled about by XL's despite being a strong man used to dogs -and they ''aren't suitable pets and we don't want them in the community because of the instability of them- they tend to be passed on to unsuitable people.

They need to all be culled.

How many more deaths? We all know the sad answer to that.

The breed are killing machines and it needs to stop.

This was genuinely, absolutely terrifying to read!
I don’t think I took a breath once throughout the whole post

Or ban all women because some women have murdered people........

@oakleaffy what happened to the XL bully. I know you said it was before the ban, but it was still illegal to have an out of control dog - did the warden do anything?

Anyone who has one of these dogs in their home where children reside should be investigated by social services. Whoever thinks that having one of these around children clearly is not putting their children’s wellbeing first.

Statistically, you would ban men.

These dogs make me feel sick just looking at them. They are so ugly and terrifying

These dogs should be banned altogether full stop.

Anyone who uses adjectives like "loving" about these chav-beasts is seriously lacking in the brains department.

There does need to be a cull, now. These animals add nothing to society.

Well yes.
But my point is, that the vast majority of women don't kill people, therefore it would be foolish to "ban" all women because a sub set does.

It would be a great idea- but the Tory government could have arranged a proper cull, but didn't.

I doubt if the Labour Govt will be any better.
