#American bully xls

What is an American bully XL and should they be banned? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66775985

The root of the increase in dog attacks is fairly simple:

Over Covid, people bought and adopted dogs that they couldn’t properly train or look after then the lockdowns ended. No dog breed should be BANNED, only specific OWNERS. In all of the cases referenced in the article, there is no mention of an owner being anywhere nearby- the dog being out of control is because the owner is not fucking controlling it.

“It’s a MASSIVE dog!! 60kg!” Yeah and Irish Wolfhounds can get to over 80kg but you don’t see legal restrictions on them mentioned every time someone is injured by one. That’s because Irish wolfhound owners tend to know about the breed and are able to handle one.

American Bully XLs are not a problem, idiots that buy dogs they can’t control or look after are.

So I just read an article in the paper about the UK government wanting to ban the (and I quote) "dangerous American super-bulldog" - the American Bully XL. Please excuse me while I roll my eyes at this bullshit.

The reason for this is apparently a man in Staffordshire being "mauled to death" by two dogs of that breed and according to Rishi Sunak it's a pattern in the breed's behaviour.

Even though apparently those specific dogs had attacked another dog before this incident and people had expressed their concern about them to the police.

That sounds to me like a problem with those specific dogs and even more so the owner. But the dogs get euthanised and the guy gets to go home on bail.

The article also quotes Bojo saying the problem in most cases is the owner and not the dog itself - and I never thought I'd say it but - listen to Boris!

I worked as a dog walker for four years and yes we had a staffie that became too much of a problem that we had to drop it as a client (because the owners wouldn't get it neutered even though the hormones were making it aggressive to us AND THEM) but we also had a dachshund that would terrorise the other dogs and tried to bite your face off if he was in a face-height crate in the bus. And we had a chihuahua who only wanted to ride in the front with my boss - and he'd also try to bite your face off if you tried to put it in a crate in the back. Same with a Jack Russell. Most of the big "dangerous" dogs were gentle giants. (my boss' wife used to walk 3 Dogues de Bordeaux when she was pregnant with their first and she'd always tell me she never felt more safe).

First it were German shepherds that were dangerous, then rottweilers, then staffies and everything that looks like staffies, and now the American Bully XL.

My old neighbours have a dog like that and I swear to god it was scared of its own shadow. It would run and hide before attacking anyone.

Banning a breed doesn't solve the problem if the assholes that own them "train" them to be fighting dogs, forcing ALL bullies to wear a muzzle in public won't solve the problem if people still don't train their dogs normally (and may cause medical issues because of their brachycephalic faces - the flat noses). Your dog is your responsibility. If you know your dog doesn't get on with other dogs, keep it on a leash and away from other dogs. If you know your dog might snap in certain situations, it is your duty as an owner to make sure that doesn't happen. To your dog and the rest of the world.

The only ones who will benefit from this ban will be the manufacturers and sellers of muzzles for dogs with brachycephalic faces.

Sorry for the rant but this pisses me off.

I love it when the government says we need to ban x breed of dog cause they attack people.

Acting like all dogs don't have the capacity to attack people. The issue, as always, is not the breed of dog, but the fact people don’t train and handle their fucking dogs properly.

if you are someone who believes in or supports BSL (breed specific legislation) not only do i want you to block me but also kys

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

You got any thoughts on breed specific legislation, like how the UK is moving to ban the American XL bully?

*stares at the English bulldog* could we ban that instead.

So funny the UK is now banning “XL bully” dogs. Got rid of all their predators and so now they’re eradicating the spooky dogs

Can someone explain to me why my 5 month old puppy is so hench

[unhingedwomandiaries]

Let's address the elephant in the room. This vegan friend of mine is making me seriously question what plane of reality we're operating on.

She has four American XL bully dogs, those muscle-bound pit bull types that look like they stole from the set of a dogfighting movie. Their names? Earth Destroyer, Tofu, Topanga, and Broccoli. Already an incoherent mix of names that screams "my lifestyle defines my personality." Like, I get being anti-meat industry, but giving your dog a moniker tied to a California cow-traumatizing TV character seems counterintuitive.

Anyway, these ultra-breeds were banned by the government last year out of safety concerns. But she's had her dogs for 12 years already. They're super old and decrepit now. One is actually disabled after a run-in with a fox, which doesn't exactly align with their "bloodthirsty mauler" reputation.

So this woman sees in the newspaper that there's a huge need for adoptive parents and foster families in our area. Being vegan-adjacent, she jumps at the chance, assuming she can just relinquish her illicit canine crew to a peaceful sanctuary run by her mate. Wrong! She can keep the status quo as long as she gets periodically audited.

Which...what? How does that make any sense? There's zero correlation between owning notoriously aggressive dogs and being a qualified parent figure, unless the goal is remaking a Rosemary's Baby scenario. It's utterly paradoxical.

I don't know, this whole thing has my mind bending like a Möbius strip. Give me enough specialty mezcal and I might start ranting about whether the secret world government is gaslighting us all with these utterly incoherent policy loopholes. Perhaps the vegan revolutionaries are the real puppet masters here. All I know is something extremely counterintuitive is happening on a cosmic scale with this scenario.

⚠️ SIGN to help our shelter dogs! ⚠️

🩵 At the moment, the Irish government is imposing a ban on XL Bully dogs. If you love dogs, please consider signing the petition to extend the rehoming of XL Bullies this October! 

🩵 “From October 1st 2024, new regulations will prohibit the importing, breeding, selling and RE-HOMING of XL Bullies.”  

🩵 Hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent dogs will be euthanised in shelters this October. If you agree with the ban, so be it, I will not argue with that. But the mass euthanasia that is about to take place is completely unnecessary and cruel. Shelters in Ireland do a fantastic job at rehoming rescue dogs and specific breeds to appropriate and responsible homes. There is simply no need to force shelters to euthanise these bully dogs when there are experienced people willing to rescue and train them. 

🩵 We are NOT advocating to stop the ban altogether. We are simply advocating to lift (or at least delay) the rehoming ban. 

🩵 Please sign the petition to save these dogs! Thank you and have a wonderful day x
