XL Bully dog - discussion

On the grounds that owning a dog is more responsibility than the majority seem to be able to actually handle, maybe the answer is to only allow ownership of a dog once you have passed a rigorous testing procedure. Akin to the driving test, only this one would be a rigorous testing procedure.

What tests would people need to do to avoid compulsory sterilisation at 12 years of age?
 
Another woman killed on Saturday in Kirkdale, mauled to death by five border collies.

Last week a court case concerning a woman who suffered life-changing injuries after being attacked by an airedale terrier.

Doesn’t this undermine your original point about banning ‘dangerous’ dogs rather than punishing/deterring dangerous irresponsible dog owners?

The article says it was a cross bull mastiff 1664896113682.png which is a slightly different proposition to an airedale terrier.
 
I think dog licences should be brought back, renewable annually, and in order to get a licence owners should be required to have insurance in case the dog attacks someone.
The Dogs' Trust give their members (£25/year) £1 million of third party insurance. Wonderful organization.

Re spaniels: Frankie is a really sweet cocker spaniel who bit someone on the leg quite badly for no apparent reason before he came to me. He was supposed to be a gun dog but was gun shy and I think he was mistreated when they were trying to 'persuade' him. I wouldn't trust him with kids and he's still only really tiny (14 kg).
 
There’s a lot of money to be made these days in breeding American bullies and suchlike. I mean proper silly money if you can get a big ole litter each year for virtually no work at all . Only downside is mauling of family members. Headlines are about deaths but the amount of attacks in some areas mean taking your pooch got a walk is a risky business. The owners are usually twats interestingly

/ broad brush strokes
 
10 of the 13 people killed by dogs in the UK since March 2020 were killed by American XL bully bulldog mastiff things.

In the 2 years prior to 2020 there were only 4 deaths (all bulldog things).

Why is it lawful to keep animals designed to entertainingly kill bears and bulls as family pets :confused:

I don’t know that there is much debate to be had here. Some think that some dog breeds should be illegal. Others think that trying to make specific breeds illegal isn’t practically feasible. But (while I could be mistaken) I don’t think anybody here thinks that owning one of these dogs is a good thing.

Well, you have to ask yourself why anyone would need a dog like that? The answer is that it's usually to do with ego (or lack thereof). I do make exceptions for people who have rescued these dogs from fighting rings, etc.
 
Two women couldn’t overpower this dog, so luckily the police showed up and shot it before it killed anyone:


It was probably a corgi :rolleyes:
