THE case for outlawing XL Bully dogs is overwhelming.
They are killers.
Out of ten people torn apart by dogs in the UK recently, six were killed by this brutal breed.
The last victim, Ian Price died as he fought one attacking his elderly mother.
Dog lovers say the breed cannot be blamed. And they are right… XL Bullies aren’t mad dogs, they’re not devil dogs, they’re not even rabid.
In fact, they are good dogs. They do exactly what humans want them to do … they kill.
XL Bully dogs are savage, inbred killing machines, not pets.
Drug dealers and criminals buy them as weapons.
And Rishi Sunak has done the right thing – banned them, classing them along with Pit Bull Terriers, Japanese Tosas, Dogo Argentinos and Fila Brasileiros.
He reckons it could take eighteen months to do it though… that’s the essence of British fair play, let’s make sure we don’t ban the wrong dogs, let’s give you time to neuter your dog, register it and agree to all sorts of new ownership rules.
But swifter action could save more lives and stop this muscle-bound breed going underground, becoming a killer in the shadows of the criminal world.
Dog expert Stan Rawlinson is being widely quoted as saying: “They are predatory, incredibly strong — the most dangerous dog ever created.”
Yet an angry XL Bully owner says she feels ‘targeted’ over her pet.
Sophie Coulthard, aged 39, has a young dog called Billy and she says he ‘loves cuddles’ and has never even growled.
She says ‘a moral panic’ has hit the UK.
But what about the panic – not moral, but real – felt by the people who have been attacked by them, often in their final moments?
And what about the British schoolgirl who said a few days ago that she is now ‘too frightened to leave home’ following an attack?
Horrific video shows the moment when she was bitten by a violent animal before two men were injured as they tried to restrain it.
What is needed is a greater onus on responsible dog ownership.
We need tougher sanctions for irresponsible owners of dangerous dogs.
It has to be safe to walk our streets – and howwill muzzles in public stop them breaking free when they aren’t muzzled?
There can be no animal amnesty for this breed.
And do you know what? It just isn’t the dog’s fault – it’s ours.
