The British government has banned the American Bully XL dog breed in England and Wales. The decision, confirmed on Tuesday, comes into force in February 2024, the newspaper reported. BBC.
The British list of dangerous dogs now includes the American Bully XL. We are talking about a series of attacks involving animals of this breed in the UK. Since 2021, attacks have killed four people and injured many others, including a child.
American Bullies are divided into four types of dogs: standard, pocket, classic and XL. The latter can weigh more than 60 kilograms, but are becoming increasingly popular.
The surgeon gave an interview BBCRichard Baker explained that these dogs “have jaws so powerful that the injuries they cause are more severe than in other species.”
“Once they grab it, they don’t let go. They break bones, destroy skin and damage nerves,” explained Richard Baker. The Doctor doesn’t understand why a “responsible person” would want an American Bully XL.
In contrast, the Dog Control Coalition, a group of dog welfare associations, argues that breed-specific bans have proven ineffective “over the last 32 years” and have “coincided with a rise in bite rates” in the UK.
“Recent deaths show that this approach is not working. The British government must deal with unscrupulous breeders who put profit before the common good, and irresponsible owners whose dogs are dangerously out of control,” the Dog Control Coalition said.
