[Misc] Bully XL’s

[The Clamp]

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?

 

[The Clamp]

I genuinely believe you have to be mentally unstable to believe this is a good pet.

 

[Washie]

something akin to that in Jurassic Park you'd hope!

I'd hope not, that didn't go very well as I recall.

I was actually joking as I know the new neighbors to talk to and knew they had the bully. However, the situation I alluded to might happen and a buyer might pull out of sale.

I might add that the new house is in a respectable middle class all private estate and all neighbors look fine. The bully owners certainly come across as pretty sensible and they have it registered with the insurance in place. They are certainly not the stereotypical chavs who you wouldn't trust an inch. They have other pets and kids too so you guess they feel confident. What I might be interested to establish is whether they do always muzzle the dog in their back garden? There is a solid 7 don't fence between but I wouldn't want to take any chances.

Well that's alright then. You can rest assured that their Bully XL wouldn't harm a fly

You can never feel confident with a beast in the household, regardless of it's "character". And to describe them as sensible....hmm. The sensible thing would be to take no unnecessary risks with your children. f***ing stupid would be my description.

Yes I did catch your humour. Fair enough if you are relatively comfortable with the situation too but I felt you also highlighted an area where further legislation might be considered.

With you bringing it to attention, It would be a factor that I'd want to know in advance if possible and might well sway any decision personally.

"Oh, hello new neighbour - oh, you have one...sorry, two of 'those' dogs? How lovely.
Seems like we'll all get along famously, considering I'm a dab hand with my crossbow and pistol, which I often play with in my garden."

100%, and judging by the looks of people I've seen with them, mental instability seems a given.

What's the fencing like!!

You’re on fire today!

“Over decades, the pit-bull terrier developed the ability to attack suddenly, and sustain grave injuries without retreating. This genetic history is present in the XL Bully. “These dogs, being bred for aggression, are likely to inherit aggression,” says David Sargan, a geneticist at Cambridge Veterinary School.20 Mar 2024

But Nathan and Stacey from No.30 know better. Their little darlings wouldn’t hurt a fly cos they been raised right, yeah?

As their beast with a head the size a f***ing sofa drags another 11 year old back to its lair to eat later.

Indeed. Just get a f***ing different breed! There are plenty to choose from.

I literally plan for escape if I see one of these in the distance, being dragged back by their oh-so-macho owners. A wall....top of a parked van....handy scaffolding....etc.
I shouldn't be made to feel that way, by simply walking along the street.
See a guy with a 6" blade and everyone runs for cover (and rightly so). Me? I'd rather take my chances with him, than one of these beasts.

 

[WATFORD zero]

You really do have to wonder WTF goes on in some people's heads. A few houses away from me live a youngish couple with a baby, a toddler and an American Akita, a dog bred to fight bears FFS

 

[The Clamp]

Two of these kept in a gf flat near me with a 2x6ft outside area at the front with a pathetic fence around it.

They get pretty big…

And what have you been able to do about it? Precisely nothing and at this point that's your only option. I've noted a few of the facetious comments about me moving next door to an XL Bully owner and describing the family. Obviously, I will exercise due caution at all times and if I spot the dog acting up on the street and/or not muzzled I will of course report it pronto as would the other neighbors. Some people seem to think maybe I should cancel the house purchase or maybe knock on their door and politely ask if they could have their dog put down for me just in case. I might add like everyone I do doubt the wisdom of owning these dogs when they have such deadly potential.

Simply get tooled-up. Just in case.

The dogs know to not savage anyone as long as they see you buying quinoa in waitrose.

Once you set foot in Iceland, forget it!

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Today whilst looking out of my bedroom window pondering who will be our new manager I saw a small teenage girl walking a bloody huge black and white XL bully down the road. It was muzzled but she was tiny compared to it. No way would she to be able to control that thing if it bolted. Also we have recently been in contact with a friend's miniature XL bully. It was built like a brick shi*those and nearly knocked me over just brushing past my legs. Utter madness

 

[Anger]

There's a neighbour of ours who takes out their Japanese Akita dog with their toddler and baby in a pushchair.

Why would you take the risk with of having that thing and young children in the same house

'But he's never done anything like that before', Like I've never set off an AK48 in my house but I prefer not to keep one, just in case

Akitas are not known for dangerous incidents though are they?

Nothing like the same level of risk.
