The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has made a commitment to prohibit the presence of dogs, although he refrained from explicitly advocating for their euthanasia.
The canines, characterized by their substantial cranial structures and potential mass exceeding 60 kilograms (132 pounds), have experienced a surge in public interest subsequent to the implementation of COVID-19 lockdown measures, which coincided with an increase in dog acquisition.
These canines seem to be highly regarded by certain individuals as symbols of social rank, admired for their violent disposition. Last month, environment minister Therese Coffey expressed a firm stance against the announced prohibition, stating that it would no longer be tolerated.
Subsequently, a widely circulated video depicted an unrestrained XL bully engaging in an act of aggression by biting an 11-year-old female, resulting in significant psychological distress and necessitating medical intervention.
Subsequently, the dog in a state of uncontrollable aggression proceeds to pursue and assault one of the individuals who had offered assistance in the urban locale of Birmingham, situated in central England.
According to Sunak's proposal, dog owners will be required to formally register their canines and ensure that they are equipped with muzzles when present in public areas.
Additionally, it will be necessary to perform the procedure of neutering on the dogs in order to ensure the eventual extinction of the specific breed during a period of ten years.
However, Robert Goodwill, a legislator from the Conservative party, has expressed the opinion that the government ought to contemplate expediting measures, such as implementing a "general cull".
There is a growing demand for stricter measures to be taken against unethical breeders.
Following the Birmingham attack on September 9th, there have been many recorded incidents involving individuals identified as XLs. These incidents include at least four additional attacks, with two resulting in fatalities and one involving an infant.
According to Lawrence Newport, a researcher at Royal Holloway University of London who has played a leading role in advocating for the prohibition of these dogs, they possess a distinctive level of aggression that can be attributed to their specific breeding lineage.
According to the speaker, these canines are categorized as fighting dogs, having been selectively developed from a lineage specifically intended for combat purposes.
According to the speaker, XL bully type dogs accounted for 70 percent of dog assaults in the UK, although comprising only one percent of the total canine population.
The argument stated by the individual is that if attacks were primarily attributed to irresponsible owners rather than an inherent danger associated with specific dog breeds, there would likely be a higher incidence of attacks involving other large dog breeds.
On the contrary, other individuals argued that focusing exclusively on a particular canine breed would not effectively address the issue of subterranean breeders, since they would merely transition to other breeds with potential risks.
According to Mark Riley, a dog safety campaigner associated with the organization Rocky's Army, the emergence of popularity in a certain domain often attracts individuals who are not well-suited for it. Consequently, this influx of individuals leads to a proliferation of cross-breeding and inbreeding practices, ultimately resulting in various issues and complications. Riley expressed these sentiments during an interview with AFP.
The phenomenon is observed in other breeds as well, indicating that it is not exclusive to the XL bully breed.
There have been accounts of individuals breeding rottweilers with several other dog breeds. These individuals are the type that necessitate appropriate handling.
Riley's organization provides assistance to individuals whose dogs have been confiscated by law enforcement authorities in accordance with the Dangerous Dogs Act. Additionally, they actively promote the implementation of responsible ownership initiatives and the establishment of licensing requirements for individuals who own dogs.
According to legislation enacted in 1991, the ownership of certain dog breeds, such as pit bull terriers and Japanese tosas, is prohibited unless an exemption is obtained. The breeding of dogs is likewise prohibited.
According to the owner of an extra-large bully breed, he acknowledges that the dogs possess a considerable size and a formidable appearance. However, he emphasizes that any dog has the potential to exhibit aggression if not properly managed.
According to Jack, a 30-year-old private ambulance driver from London, he has successfully educated his two-year-old dog, Frank Sinatra, to exhibit obedience and good behavior.
These canines exhibit a strong desire for attention, which may occasionally be unmet by individuals. The individual expressed that the matter at hand is contingent upon ownership.
Canines of this breed exhibit exceptional qualities. Canines of this nature are known for their exceptional qualities as affectionate companions within familial contexts. I have confidence in his ability to responsibly interact with my kid.
Based on the information provided by the Bullywatch website, it has been observed that XL bully, bully type, or crossbreed dogs presently constitute the predominant category of dogs involved in assaults across the United Kingdom.
The organization, with the objective of increasing awareness regarding the extent of dog attacks associated with XL bullys, asserted that there had been 11 verified fatalities since 2021, along with an additional three deaths under suspicion.
The increase in dog attack fatalities in the UK can be attributed to the recent importation of XL bully type canines.
The individual who gave birth to a male child of 10 years old, who tragically lost his life at the hands of an exceptionally large and aggressive bully known as 'The Beast', has expressed dissatisfaction with the government's delayed response in addressing the matter.
One of the children that tragically lost their lives due to the dogs was Jack Lis, the son of Emma Whitfield.
Although she has expressed her relief at the ban, she is also advocating for the government to address the root cause of the issue in a comprehensive manner.
Implementing a temporary prohibition on dog ownership will be beneficial in the current circumstances... However, should backyard breeders continue to persist, they might potentially contribute to the emergence of a novel breed, so potentially leading us to a situation reminiscent to the present state in a few years," she expressed.
