Aren’t the owners, by not adhering to the rules in fact signing the death penalty?
The dogs themselves are the death penalty for many other dogs that they’re undoubtedly going to tear apart, as well as members of the public and potentially even their owners.
XL Bullies were the result of a really nasty type of backyard breeding where some of the worst people in Ireland and the UK became obsessed with breeding the most horrendous attributes in the dogs.
Someone in the future is going to write a thesis on it about how it came to be, fuelled by social media as some sort of post-recession counter-cultural signifier on council estates among a new type of disaffected white working class to go along with their crushed velvet sofas, turkey teeth and their passion for (depending on the country they’re in), Nigel Farage or Mary Lou McDonald.
The whole thing is frightening.
They all have the same attitude as “responsible” gun owners in the US – my dog isn’t the issue, it’s someone else’s.
And bans don’t work, they have never worked anywhere…..
They refuse to see the societal need to remove these animals, which have been shown repeatedly to cause horrific injuries and deaths. Just like gun ownership, we don’t need these things in society.
Banning us the first step, then we can do the enforcement.
I never understand people who choose to buy breeds with ridiculous jaw bite strength like cane corso and others, let’s not beat around the bush here – the vast majority of folks owning such breeds are people trying to portray a thug image. Theres countless breeds of dogs out there, and feck all reason to choose these breeds that have crazy power, and every reason not to.
If the grey dog is meant to be the XL bully, he is a fool. It looks nothing like one, and I doubt meets the requirements, but if he declares it an XL bully, authorities will have to treat it like one until it is declared otherwise.
A lot of people who get XL bullys get them as a weapon and a social statement, they don’t love the dog, they love how powerful and untouchable they make them feel.
