Jesus christ man, they just need to outright ban these dogs
The dogs of hell once again proving why they were deservedly banned.
Ahhh the one comment section where I can be confident I won’t see any racism.
Pity about all the classism though.
A reminder that the real cunts are the breeders who created sentient, emotionally complex beings doomed to have a predisposition for aggression and violence and sold them as pets. It is tragic when a person is mauled by a dog, it is also tragic when a dog has to die for acting in its nature, or face a lifetime of restrictions because they are born as a specific breed. It’s no different from having to shoot a bear that is out of control – just because it’s sometimes necessary, it doesn’t mean the bear deserves it. The dogs don’t deserve to be hated even if they are violent by nature, they deserve to be treated with pity for being a victim of their breeding. I’m not against restrictions, they are clearly necessary, but we shouldn’t lose sight of our empathy for the animals themselves in implementing them.
The whole situation is tragic, and the current legislation does nothing to prevent or punish irresponsible breeding in future.
The ban hasn’t gone far enough. It’s probably time to cull this breed. Either that or make illegal to have the outside of your own property
Jesus, fuck it. Just put these cunts down.
People obviously can’t be trusted to look after them properly.
There’s a lady on TikTok that goes live that has the tag “XL Bullys aren’t dangerous”. I went in once to just observe. No amount of facts will change their mind. I just said how do you respond to the fact that the clue is In the name.
I think deep down those types of owners know the deal but want to be edgy and don’t like being told what to do.
Yet every time I log onto tiktok there’s some stupid woman hosting a live stream saying that these poor dogs are misunderstood and they’re just cute little babies
In any sane society these dogs would be banned and destroyed. But we will just instead read about kids being destroyed by these animals for the rest of our lives instead
Passed a bloke walking one off the lead yesterday, looked very well behaved and docile tbf, but I guess lots of them do
I was at a large, peaceful, gathering on Saturday. There was a woman there with obvious medical problems who was in charge of an XL Bully.
She had turned the handle of the lead around so the loop was around the dogs jaw. She was holding the other end as if it was a useful lead attached to the dogs collar. But it wasn’t a muzzle and it wasnt a lead to restrain the dog. There was no securing strap behind the dogs ears and no way to adjust the fit. The dog was trying to remove the loop from its jaw with its dew-claw. A man joined the woman and led the dog away.
She could not have controlled the dog when it broke loose. It was in a crowded and noisey setting and was a risk to everyone there. There were a lot of police nearby but I didn’t see them do anything about it.
Yesterday, I left my flat just as an unknown woman left another flat on my landing. She was talking to an XL Bully which was now trotting down the, 1.5 metre wide shared landing walkway to give me a friendly hello whilst completely ignoring her. It was unmuzzled and she had no control over it. It got about three metres from me and stopped to sniff the parapet wall. I ducked back inside.
I reported the incident to the police (I have done the same before, and the dog was destroyed). They sent me a picture of a dog supposedly from that address asking if that was the dog. No, they are pulling a fast one. It’s a completely different animal.
It seems that owners will move dogs around to avoid police action, so they end up living with random people. Every encounter with one of these dogs is risky. I think they all need to be put down.
Euthanise them all. Unfortunate situation but that’s the breeds natural behaviour. Too dangerous. Too out of control. Too many attacks and ultimately too many deaths.
