Should they be banned?

Irrelevance.

They already are. They are a pit bull breed and should not be owned by anyone.

At the very least they should have a muzzling order on them.

I have no idea why anyone other than a criminal moron would want to own such an ugly, dangerous, monster. Let alone have it in the house.

I’d like to see the breed wiped out.

What say you?

So the "but he's always so soppy and lovable, wouldn't hurt a fly" quotes are out in force again from the drooling, slack-jawed, TK Maxx-clad daytime TV absorbing SPANNERS, who have facilitated yet another tragic death / maiming, because of their "pet" of choice.

I'd have them up for manslaughter.

"One family member told the BBC the dog, named Hunter, had never shown any form of aggression and that the attack was out of character."

I've sat on a number of dangerous dog prosecutions and there's one thing they ALWAYS say is that "he's never done it before".
but their answer is quite absurd. If it had done it before it would already be dead ….

Except the dog had bitten someone before (albeit resulting in a minor injury).

A Cockapoo caught my hand today whilst he was trying to rob the treats out of my pocket. I still have my hand.
An 'Oi', turning away from him & putting my hand over my pocket made him look sheepish. He technically did bite me but he's just a sh*t pick pocketer. No malice intended BUT if there was malice intended, I have the strength to pin him to the floor if I had to. You cannot pin an XL Bully that's pissed off to the floor. I don't understand why people can't see that it's not about 'how well behaved' their dog is, it's about the ability of the dog to cause damage when they're not so well behaved. No dog is perfect in the same way humans aren't. Anyone that thinks their dog is perfect is deluded.
Incidentally the owners of the Cockapoo were mortified, in the dogs defense I was carrying some 'hardcore' treats & I found it quite amusing that the dog was so cheeky. I wouldn't have found it quite so amusing if it was an XL Bully. Dogs slip collars and harnesses all the time, they can get muzzles off, why do people take the risk?

In America it is acceptable to say that it was perfectly safe keeping the loaded gun in the house the 7 year old shot his 5 year old brother dead with, because it had never happened before.

In the UK we have the same attitude to dangerous dog ownership that the Americans have to dangerous gun ownership.

"Nobody wants a nanny state"
"Thoughts and prayers."

Rinse and repeat.

A destruction order is the last resort and only used if necessary, often a control order such as muzzling when outside or rehoming the dog if the owner cannot cope is a better resolution.
As with most offences, there are varying degrees of seriousness/harm and to warrant destruction you have to think the dog represents an ongoing danger that cannot be mitigated.
Ordering the destruction of a dog is never taken lightly and is a horrible thing to have to do but sometimes it's unavoidable.


The dog that bit me in the 70s was a repeat offender and was put down (that was entirely due to a f*ckwit owner who just let it run around the streets)

'They've never done anything like this before'.

None of my family have been shot with a shotgun, but I'd still avoid leaving a loaded one around the house, just in case :dunce:

"Dog's never bitten anyone before eh? Well I'm guessing your loved one hadn't been savagely mauled before today either. First time for everything, eh?"

Absolute morons, the lot of 'em

BBC reporting that there are now over 57,000 of these killer dogs which have been registered. And that's just the registered ones. Registering an XL Bully will not stop it from attacking or killing.

The OB claiming they need another £25m for kenneling those which have been seized. On average, 100 dogs a month seized by the police are being destroyed.

Let's save £25m and police resources. They have the addresses of 57K potential killers. Seize them and immediately destroy them.

or put them to use and chuck those scum bag parents who tortured their little girl to death in a pen with a couple of the dogs, gets rid of the cost in keeping 3 lumps of shit in jail.

Walked round the harbour yesterday and there was a feller with one of these things. It was muzzled and calm but it still scared me, the sheer size of it.
As I've said before, if people are allowed to own and walk these bastards, I should be allowed to own and carry a .357 magnum.
