XL Bully dog - discussion

[Cid]

There'd have to be north of 850,000 of them to form 8% of the UK dog population.

I met a pocket bully yesterday she was lovely

All dogs have the potential to be lovely it's arsehole owners that cause the problem.

I'm pretty certain that significantly less than eight percent of dogs in this country are banned breeds. Do you have any evidence at all that it's that high?

I never said it was “that high”. Whatever that is. Just that the number is likely to be hard to ascertain.

So you agree that dangerous banned dogs are more likely to attack people than legal breeds.

Can you conceive how muscular they are?

Or get to the high ground, because they can’t look up.

The letters in blue at the top right corner of a post are useful for working out who you are arguing with at any given time.

And actually, at this moment in time, I very much doubt that is correct because the XL is not on the banned list.

It didn't stop you butting into my conversation with WouldBe did it you tedious prick.

Fucking asshat.

You join in a conversation and then tell me I'm talking to the wrong person? Fuck off and die you pointless waste of amino acids.

Urban myth. Most people are about as likely to disable an XL Bully by doing that as I am to KO Tyson Fury with one punch.

I’m sure similar would happen with a Lion. That doesn’t mean I’d fight one to find out.

 

[WouldBe]

Way fewer of them. Labradors come out high on bitey dog lists as there's loads of them.

If you're going to produce data on attacks it should be as a percentage otherwise it's useless.

Yeah, I said it would be hard to tell how many dogs of the banned breeds are out there. It’s kind of relevant regardless of whether you’ve pinned your flaccid ego to it being above as opposed to below a given number.

I’m inclined to agree. Seems to be quite a bit of argument on the internet about it.

It's you that's making posts and refusing to back them up. Eight percent would be one in twelve and a half. Where are these dogs? Not in any of my local parks. I don't need detailed data to tell me there aren't nine hundred thousand banned dogs in this country.

Thread attracts virtual XL Bully owner-posters shocker.

 

[WouldBe]

What percentage of dogs overall are dangerous banned breeds?

No idea but the percentage of attacks per breed will stay the same.

Text parsing failure. Possibly something to do with the comma..

The 8% came from the RSPCA in platinumsage earlier post.

Is it.

Eight percent of attacks are by banned dogs. I'm making the point that unless banned dogs are eight percent (or over) of the UK canine population then they are attacking people at a higher rate than dogs that aren't. You seemed to not understand that in your post.

 

[8ball]

Is it.

Possibly.

Well, that changes over time. Last year, and so far this year, no fatal dog attacks in the UK were by banned breeds.

Which was being held up as an example of the success of these laws.

Which is the point I made earlier in that the dat should be presented as a percentage rather than just numbers if that's what they've done.

Most of them by XL bullies. Hence the argument to ban them.

But best ban labradors too, because they’re there in the figures.

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!?!!?

8% and 0% are both successes.
