What’s everyone views on the bully xl ban?

Rach91

Today the day the bully xl ban starts now. I am dead against the ban as I feel it’s not the dog it’s the owner. Also this won’t stop dog attacks and breeders are moving on to bigger dogs now. As a dog owner myself I love my baby I have a 12 year old Dalmatian called Lucy and I see myself as a responsible owner. I have also met some beautiful bully XLs and they were gentle giants the owners were genuine to. What everyone else’s thoughts on this do you agree with what I’m saying or do you agree with the ban? I won’t judge anyone opinion. 

  • While you’re right it is often the owners and unfortunately that means it’s the dog that takes the blame.

    I do think they should be banned as they are a potential danger to other dogs and people, and I wouldn’t want to take a chance on owners taking responsibility.

    The Japanese Akita and Tosa are other dogs that are becoming popular and they are potentially equally dangerous! My dog was attacked by an Akita, even though the owner said his dog was a big ‘softie’ yeah right!

    You have to ask, why anyone would get any dog that has to be kept on a lead, which will probably explain the type of people who normally want such dogs!

  • The breed or type of dog is kind of irrelevant , the owner will know whether a dog is dangerous or not. 
    They them have a moral responsibility to muzzle the dog when in public. 
    I’m wondering if all dogs should be muzzled in public places then almost all risk is removed. 
    I have a lurcher, he is not dangerous but I would comply if such a rule was introduced.

  • i think bulldogs pitbulls and staffies are the most harmless dog.

    i dont understand why they ban them, but yet they allow violent yapping aggressive jack rustles and terriers and all of that to go on ok... what because they are small? and so we judge by appearance.... to me a jack rustle or a terrier is more dangerous and each one  you meet will charge you and try to bite you. i dont understand why this dog is bad but yet a pacifist smiling harmless type of dog gets banned just because it looks intimidating.
