Have you guys heard about this? Apparently the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has vowed to ban the controversial Bully XL breed, saying the dogs were "a danger to our communities" and would be banned by the end of the year.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-66820591


This comes in the wake of a series of vicious and widely-publicized attacks by the breed, with the latest a 52 year old man who died in the attack.

Banning controversial dog breeds like pit bulls is a complex and contentious issue, and there are valid arguments on both sides - on one hand, banning dangerous breeds can help protect the public from potentially dangerous dogs. Breeds such as pit bulls have been involved in a disproportionate number of severe dog attacks, and banning them may reduce the risk of such incidents. However, critics argue that breed-specific bans are ineffective because they focus on the breed rather than the individual dog's behavior. A dog's temperament and behavior are influenced more by upbringing and training than by its breed.

What are your guys thoughts?
A lot of dangerous dogs are misidentified as pit bulls. Anybody who works with, or has worked with, animals in the US is aware of this.

I have no clue what the “bully XL” breed is, but with “XL” in the breed name, I imagine the majority of the owners are idiots who are incapable of putting in the time and energy to make beans sprout. Giving a poo poo about raising their dogs to not be a danger is far beyond them.

They should pass a law to rename the breed something like “Symbol of Insecurity Terrier”.
Or “Duncecap Hound”.
Or “A lot of Questions Answered by my ridiculously overpowered new dog breed in an age where humans don’t need new dog breeds for fighting because dog fighting is barbaric Dog”

I should probably eat. Just gonna plop this old comedy sketch here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks6xjMT3LNo

Edit: after reading up on how recently they’ve been introduced to the UK, I support the ban with the dangerous dog act grandfather clause. All of the American bulldogs I’ve met in the states have been happy licky puppies on a grand scale. This was working at veterinary offices where they are far less likely to live with humans that don’t actually give a poo poo about their dog, though.

I do not hunger for dog death, however, which tends to be what people who are gleeful about breed-specific legislation are actually hoping for.

I’m guessing that you can’t own a clydesdale and walk it around most cities without some kind of reason or special permit, which with being big and stampy

there should probably be restrictions on large dogs too

go live on a big farm if you want big pets

Already there. Although the dogs aren’t mine. My housemate owns the place and periodically receives calls from the shelter to see if she can take difficult to place older dogs.

Also, i think all of the big dogs here are with you on the big dogs should only live on farms thing, since they all came from situations where they were on a chain 24-7 or kept in a kennel the majority of their lives prior to coming here.

It's not fair that there's so few laws against big dogs but so many laws against big cats.

I think the kind of people who get bully XLs would be far happier with a Siberian tiger.

Honestly it's a pretty fair comparison. People would likely balk if you told them you have a free roaming tiger as a pet (hes a big softie, honestly) but if you said "i have a 70 kilo murder hound that keeps pulling fences and doors down to attack people and animals on the other side" peoples brains seemingly shut down and they go "oh how adorable!!!!!!!"

I wonder if the dogs that attacked people were neutered. I’ve never seen a breed at the dog park that always caused trouble, but I’ll leave when someone brings an intact large dog. They always start poo poo. I’m pretty sure it’s just that if you have a dog that’s not neutered, you’re the kind of owner who won’t train your dog either.

They should get chimps. Walking one of those bad boys around the block on a leash is probably a real power trip.

They'll be taken to live on a far away farm. Unless they kill each other in a fit of xl bully rage, in which case they'll get to live on another farm.

I read this news and was thrilled: “Finally, a major country in the English-speaking world is going to take animal cruelty via breeding of deformed animals seriously and ban a dog breed for looking like they can barely waddle.”

But then I read they were just doing it because the breed had eaten several toddlers and thus while banning it is good, it’s not what I’d hoped for.

ya man, they used to be used to hunt bears and poo poo, of course theyre going to have big mouths with muscular heads. however, shitheads bred more aggressiveness into them because the total munches who buy em want that. if the customer base wasnt comprised of big pieces of poo poo, they'd probably have gone the way of the weiner dog, who was bred to crawl into badger holes and kill badgers
