At least 246 XL bully dogs will be euthanised when a ban comes into force at the end of the year, Sky News can exclusively reveal.

    The dogs currently live in rescue centres run by the RSPCA, Blue Cross, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Dogs Trust and Mayhew, among others.

    Under the ban, which comes into force in two phases, XL bullies cannot be lawfully rehomed or sold after 31 December.

    1. Sad lmao i thought the U.K was free country clearly it isn’t if they can take away a y’all’s let’s like that lmao that stuff wouldn’t fly here in the us bc we’re actually a free country and we hav the 2md amendment to be able to protect our family members from A tyrannical government I forgot in the uk u can’t have a gun without asking permission from the cops and that’s just sad y’all real life gotta ask permission to protect y’all’s self and y’all’s family’s ::/ of y’all’s government wanted to they could tell y’all how to lives y’all’s life and can’t do a thing about it completely sad :/

    2. It’s so, so sad and wrong. And all because of Rishi Sunak. They should’ve instead brought in better, more ethical and effective legislation to tackle dog attacks, not banned an entire breed…

    3. Everyone brainwashed by media and Government paranoia as usual…owners need to grow a spine and no matter what love and care for your pet.

    4. 2023 XL Bullies made up less than 1% of Britain's dog population and yet, according to Bully Watch UK, the dogs were responsible for 44% of dog attacks on people. They estimate the breed is 270 times more deadly than all other dog breeds combined. Their ancestry helps explain their aggression.20 Mar 2024

    5. Bullies across the pond are particularly dangerous the UK breeders or backyard breeders didn’t know what they are doing they bred aggressive traits and they heavily inbreed them instead of line breeding them they seen quick cash flow off pups and just pumped out close family breedings just to get the money quickly instead of planning out line breedings and outcrossing some of UKs bullies have COIs of like 80% which is just insanely inbreed
