The authorities says it’s working to ban XL bully dogs in England and Wales, however the present plans don’t go far sufficient – we have to cull these killers.
As 2023 drew to an in depth, devastated homeowners took to the airwaves to complain about their pup being compelled to put on a muzzle.
Hundreds of dogs have been deserted by their homeowners, who’re struggling to supply the insurance coverage required to use for the federal government’s new exemption certificates.
There’s a motive it’s onerous to insure this breed – it’s as a result of XL bully dogs are born to kill. They aren’t family pets, they’re creatures ready to attack.
Kind and dependable dogs are part of hundreds of thousands of households on this nation. But with over 200 completely different breeds within the UK, I’ll by no means perceive why anyone would wish to personal an XL bully when you might undertake a greyhound or a cuddly retriever.
Wouldn’t you slightly Sammy the spaniel than Buster the bully?
Campaigners say it’s the proprietor and never the breed, however this rise in deadly assaults isn’t a coincidence. 16 deaths by canine bites had been registered in 2023, rising from six the 12 months earlier than and a mean of three deaths yearly earlier than that.
It’s time to cease these figures rising. As this 12 months progresses, we’ll see extra bullies being paraded across the park on a muzzle and lead. But a muzzle isn’t sufficient – I’m not satisfied these dogs need to dwell in any respect.
A breed which is thought for its murderous tendencies of each adults and kids doesn’t belong in Britain. For the sake of victims together with Jack Lis, the ten-year-old boy killed by an XL bully in South Wales, we have to be more durable on harmful dogs.
Families will likely be distraught, understandably, however the authorities should observe down and cull each XL bully canine. Owners who don’t cooperate have to really feel the total drive of the legislation.
It pains me to come back to this conclusion, however it’s time to satisfy evil with evil. Killer dogs must be culled, for the security of us all.
