The number of attacks on other dogs by XL Bully’s is hard to keep track of because of difficulties reporting on it but it’s clear that this is a significant problem. Kid of belies the animal loving, be kind (or else) schtick that opponents of the ban adopt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it has been tabloid fodder for months if not years to report on attacks by this breed (relative to attacks by other breeds). Until we ditch the emotive, tabloid hysteria and use objective facts, it's not clear at all that this is a significant problem. Or indeed one that is in any way distinct from self-entitled, 'dog parents' being completely unable to control their animals regardless of breed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Sorry it's the Daily Record, but the nick o this c**t and his utter bullshit story... https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/xl-bully-owner-moves-scotland-31768620 “His favourite thing is to play on the beach. He couldn’t do that with the ban and I can’t take him to the beach with a muzzle on. That’s not fair, it’s why we’re moving. “It costs £93 to register – that’s almost a month of food for me. I’m living on sandwiches, beans and eggs as every penny has been spent on the journey up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, as someone who has been effected by this issue twice in the year I'm largely with you. I understand and empathise with my mum being very upset at the recent news of dogs getting moved up here etc, I'm just not sure what a ban is actually supposed to do. If, as in our experience, the police do f**k all when a dog has attacked and killed another dog, presumably due to a lack of resources, I'm not sure how the resources will be found to track down and seize these animals and bring legal proceedings against owners. I'm by no means coming from an "it's not the dog it's the owner" position, as I don't really think there's any reason for anyone to own a dog as big, powerful, potentially deadly and nightmarishly ugly as that, but I do think the proliferation of anecdotal tabloid stories followed swiftly by a half arsed ban bill was probably not a well considered way to go Edited December 31, 2023 by GHF-23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Volunteer drives hundreds of miles to rehome bully XLs in Scotland - BBC News Man drives 33 XL Bullys to Scotland after ban A dog lover has been driving to Scotland to rehome American bully XLs. Sammy Wilkinson has taken 33 dogs to Scotland so far, as tighter laws on their ownership were introduced on 31 December in England and Wales. The laws have not been introduced in Scotland. Mr Wilkinson, from Tipton, West Midlands, said he had been inundated with owners needing help and is making another trip on Friday. He said he was passionate about helping dogs that might otherwise be abandoned. Mr Wilkinson said he was seeing some owners who bought bully XL dogs during Covid lockdowns, when they became what he called "a status dog", and were now giving them up. "A lot of owners have been irresponsible, in taking these dogs on in the first place," he said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
