XL Bully

[bmwmike]

Poor lad indeed. Hope they throw the book at the owners and obvs PTS the dogs involved.

Saw one earlier on a lead but no muzzle. Aren't muzzles required by law now? Are preemptive strikes allowed?

[abzmike]

I wonder if anyone in authority is doing anything to check dog registrations…. I don’t recall seeing any reports of arrests. Or are the police only acting after people have been bitten or killed? Seems little point enacting a law if it isn’t being enforced.

I had never heard of Jaywick until this news broke, then YouTube served me up a video of it.

Rogue landlords and a rogue council in cahoots?

Jaywick is Latin for sthole.

Originally it was a country escape for working class East Enders. But now, well, here's a fine example of a 'flat roof pub' and some background on Jaywick's history: https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Jaywick_...

Every single dog that ever attacked anyone, ever, had never attacked anyone until the day it did. Do you understand that?

What? I'm beginning to think that some people on this thread need socialization because they've never been around other humans or animals.

It's a simple enough concept so I'm not sure what your struggling with. Every dog that has ever attacked a human at some point attacked for the first time, having had no history of having done so before. Like every bus driver at some point drove a bus for the first time. Or every person who's ever had hiccups at some point had them for the first time. I may never had had hiccups, but it doesn't mean I never will. An XL bully may have no history of having attacked someone, but that doesn't mean it never will. The data shows that is is more likely than other breeds to do so. Hence the ban and the need for control measures like leads and muzzles.

Thing is the breed has become fashionable for those that should never own dogs in the first place. Ban the XL and they all move onto the next one. Where does it end.

Virtually any large powerful dog is highly likely to be most dangerous in the wrong hands and XL's in most case are in the wrong hands as were PB's before.

It'll be Cane Corso's next. It'll take a few years, some aggressive trait breeding and some deaths for the authorities to realise what's happening and collate the data and around we go again. PB's were banned in 1991 so that's a 30+ year cycle.

Something needs to be done but a breed specific ban is not the answer. It's just there to appease the masses and long term goes nowhere to solving the problem of idiots with small dicks needing a weapon to enhance their manhood.

Basically it’s a societal problem. We have too many council scumbags.

And another one shot in Scotland.

"Police have shot dead a “dangerously out of control” bulldog-type dog that attacked a collie.

Three people sustained minor injuries during the incident in East Kilbride on Sunday morning.

Police were called to a report of a large bulldog-type dog attacking a collie dog on Mannering in the town at around 10.25am."

lol… dinnae mess wi the dugs frae Bucksburn…

[ambuletz]

there was an incident the other day at the local row of shops.

Guy goes into bakery, leaves his pretty large dog outside not attached to anything. The dog is on all fours waiting outside the entrance to the bakery, right in the middle outside the sliding doors and in the way of everyone.
One woman with their kid (not much taller than the dog), very concerned as she exits the bakery because the kid is scared of the dog who's in the way. She opens her mouth to him about it. Guy says the dog is doing nothing wrong/good dog etc.. they argue, he gets pissed off and aggressive. They walk out with the kid hiding behind her as she continues to vent her frustrations.

As she's walking away with the kid the guy starts jokingly (but in aggressive shouty manner) telling his dog to get them. The dog doesn't do anything. Several people (ladies s outside who are having a chin wag, this is just after 9pm as they've dropped their kids off across the road) as well as myself inside in disbelief and wondering what if.

They’re incapable of thinking about the consequences of any action. The brain power required to think about ‘what if’ isn’t possible for them.

I'm not a fan of getting police involved in everything by any means but this could almost be seen as the equivalent of waving a knife at someone.

The owner needs a stern talking too.

Agree. That's just absolute stupidity. Its also entirely disrespectful of the parent & kids needs - there is nothing wrong with being scared of a dog, and i'd wager considering all the maulings and attacks recently that there are many more people wary of dogs that before, and understandably so.

Sounds to me like this guy isn't responsible enough to own a dog - leaving it in the middle of the doorway blocking everyone, not tied up (could cause a car accident if it ran off, or attack someone), and then disregarding legitimate concerns and effectively waiving a knife. Tosser deserves the dog to be rehomed.

Another one bites the dust.

Venn diagram of council estate, low intelligence and XL bully dogs would be revealing.

Not sure you’d need a Venn, there’d only be one circle.

And another

The courts need to start locking up the owners of the out of control dogs and maybe the idiots might start thinking twice before ignoring the laws.

[bmwmike]

Almost like there is a problem with the breed after all.
