Well we could simply make the owner legally responsible for any crime committed by the dog. If the dog kills someone then the owner goes down for manslaughter or even murder. Of course if these dogs are as soft as some owners are claiming, then the owners have nothing to worry about.
One common trend I noticed is that the type of owners who have dangerous breeds often behave like idiots and or seem to have low IQ. We are allowing dumb human beings to have access to dangerous breeds and we wonder why these dogs aren't trained well. Every person i have seen with a Bully or Pitbull don't seem to have much intelligence and their walking these dogs in public.
Thanks, I always walked mine on a lead, had total control of all 3 staffies. The some idiot with a pintsized rat, with no restraints bit one of my dogs from behind, from then on he would bark at little dogs. When I took them for runs, it was 2 or 3 in the morning when most normal people were tucked up in bed, so they were free of idiots trying to pet them.
@@sharonjameson8412 only an idiot would walk up to a dog and pet it especially big dogs. Unfortunately it is people with low IQ, no finances, that own these type of dogs. If only you could control this but you can’t. A rat size dog can be thrown I certainly would not be able to do that with bully/ pit bull cross etc. looking forward to banning them.
@@keepingitreal618 Exactly, people will say that all we need to do is educate these people and make sure they licence the dogs and train them, no need to ban them . However, problem with that is that a lot of the owners of these dogs are thick as two short planks and shouldn't own a dog in the first place, never mind one that is so powerful and has a genetic predisposition for explosive aggression. Trying to get them to listen to reason and do the right thing by muzzling the dogs in public, licensing them and training them will just fall on deaf ears. Ban them, I don't care.
I don't think that is the only difference. We don't see other large breed dogs killing so many people. Of course most deaths will be caused by large or powerful dogs because it's hard for a smaller dog to do that much damage, even in the same sort of "attack". However the "missing link" isn't "the breed" but what they are being bred for. They are bred for size and colour, mostly, and not for their health and temperament. I believe in Belyaev's fox experiment it took about 5 generations to go from "wild" foxes to quite sociable friendly ones - they selected for a sociable temperament. It follows the inverse is just as possible. So take a GSD or cane corso and either select for fearfulness of people (already a genetic propensity somewhat anyway) or aggressive behaviours, and within a few generations you'll have a similar issue. Or maybe don't even breed "for it" but just don't worry about it, oh well if it's a bit aggressive nevermind it's a nice colour! So get rid of the XL bully. Now what? People will just breed a different dog. If they do it as intensively and they end up in the same inappropriate homes it'll be the same story. The little dogs where this happens (eg frenchies and all the "poos" from puppy farms) usually suffer themselves either through their health or neurosis, cockapoos for example are renowned for resource guarding and biting. But they don't kill people so for society the cost isn't so high. But I don't believe XL bully breeders or owners will decide to get chihuahuas or cavapoos next.
Agree love dogs and often find the smaller breeds can be quite snappy. chihuahuas can be neurotic little ankle biters. I love cockers but find the ginger ones(don’t know why) can be a bit bitey. Love bigger soppy dogs like golden retrievers but something built like a xl bully can be deadly if it chooses to go for someone
If my relative was mauled to death by a dog I would be furious is someone called it an”media frenzy” to be quite honest … incredibly disrespectful when someone has died.
It's a tragic fact that people die for a number of reasons but yes the media is to blame for its frenzy in calling them devil dogs because it puts the emphasis on the breed rather than responsible dog ownership.
@@clairewheeler2937 anyone that owns large bully and other aggressive breeds is not "responsible". It is literally irresponsible in a modern urban society to own dogs that have the potential to kill. Primitive and bizarre.
@@sammarshall8402 really? Even though none of my dogs have ever attacked anyone in over 22 years. I've taken in fosters that had been starved and abused ( but were still good loving dogs). And they lived out their lives as good canine citizens. I had a 10 stone American bulldog save my son in a house fire. A few years back I had a confrontation with a 16 year old female ( I am 50) whereby she repeatedly punched me in the head. My American bulldog cross precious stood by my side as the girl punched and punched. She didn't attack because she wouldn't know how to. She was so incredibly soft that biting a child just wasn't in her scope of experience so she just froze. You seem to be forgetting that millions of bullbreeds go about their lives everyday being sweet creatures. So you would like me to take responsibility for other thugs behaviours even though I do not know them. My dogs are bad because bad people exist. Get your head out of your backside. What about all the bullbreeds abused and beaten. If they were such a viscious breed they would just kill anyone attacking them but most will roll over on their belly rather than defend themselves. Many breeds of dogs have been involved in fatal attacks from large to small. More powerful dogs will of course make up the most fatal statistics and the thugs dog of choice will suffer cruel and harsh conditions that will predispose it to being aggressive and out of control. But millions of decent people worldwide who have experienced the love and loyalty of a bullbreed will pay testament to what wonderful souls they are.
@paulroberts7544 Cars that are unsuitable for road use are taken off the road and either fixed or scrapped. Also if they are know to be unsafe they are recalled or taken off the production line. The fact is some dogs pose too much of a threat due to their size and the capabilities they possess and therefore are unsuitable for suburban living. Is it really worth putting peoples lives at risk for the sake of owning a dog to look tough?
This is a really stupid argument. "A granny was hit by a car last week while crossing the road.....we should ban cars to protect grannies". Anyone who disagrees doesn't care about Grannies!! 🙄
@@LycaonLeaders she may be, but facts show many people are not. So large powerful fighting breeds should not be in the hands of Billy the moron ,because he wants to pose and look hard.
@@chrismann5070 Seriously mate you clearly hate animals with a passion, you are just hanging round this comment section spewing vile comments about these dogs, nothing constructive whatsoever!! You have made your point already, everyone gets what you think, now why don't you f off!!!
This law already exists. It's not a mandatory sentence because in some cases the offence might be more minor (a dog scratching someone or just scaring them but just physically hurting them)- but if your dog hurts someone you can go to prison. It's under the dangerous dogs act.
Dogs are cool id sooner have the dogs than most these humans. Cmon compare dogs to the invaders. Who has done more damage to the native population. Dogs or Foreigners. Everyone needs ail perspective. Chill
20 years plus a 50,000 fine if you can't pay it's deducted from the owners pension £100 a year dog licence a dog is a privilege not a birth right and if you can't afford a dog don't have one banning breeds is never going to work the dogs should be muzzled in public as well
She only wants the breed around so she has a protection dog just like most people they think it makes them look hard it dont you look like a bitch needing a giant dog for safety in my opinion .
My neighbour has 2 of them. We worry constantly that something is going to happen on our doorstep. The dogs are mad. The owner can't even have both of them in the same room as they will attack each other.
@@catherinethomas1276 I have done. One is kept in a cage 24/7 in the back garden. The stink coming over the fence would make a maggot gag. The RSPCA said they had too many calls to deal with dogs being mis treated.
I guarantee she’d be speaking quite differently on the matter if she had been attacked and had to try defend herself against one of these dogs or had to watch her child die in front of her like the poor woman yesterday. Also she really has no idea about dogs if she is comparing the risks posed by XL bullies to that of huskies and German shepherds. XL bullies are far bigger, stronger and more aggressive. This, coupled with their incredible tolerance for pain makes them near impossible to stop. This breed along with some of the large mastiffs like the Cane Corso and Presa Canario are totally unsuitable for suburban living, as are many the livestock guardians like the Kangal. The dangerous dog act must be revised to encompass more of these breeds. And in the meantime a muzzle law needs to be put into immediate effect to ensure the safety of our communities.
One correction. The German Shepherd, despite being more intelligent, and disciplined, does have a much more effective bite force than an XL Bully. Just because it doesn't use it as much, doesn't mean it isn't there. Just hope there's a German Shepherd about if you're attacked by one of these, because they will come to your aid, and secondly they will win the fight with their intelligence. 😅
You are spot on! This woman is deluded and not grasping the point. People like her disgust me. The adults, children and babies that have died due to these type of dogs are now sadly just statistics. They have pitbull in them and that's the problem. Pitbulls don't let go until the death. Any other dog would bite and let go but not this type.
Yet you live with other human animals that are capable of 100% worse. As a nation you have become so immune to the atrocities caused by humans, that you ignore it. Dogs maybe 10 deaths a year - humans 1000's deaths a year... And who is worst!
@@terryolekszy9486 Are we going to ban/destroy all the f.....g evil monsters that call themselves parents that kill their own children every single day, way more than any dog attacks?? Humans are by far the worse monsters in this world!!
The smirk on Jo’s face when Vanessa talks about the poor man that died saving his mother is quite sickening. These xl bully owners seem to have a complete disregard for those that die/attacked by bully’s and only care about the silly dogs.
She wasn't smirking. I'm broken hearted for the man who died and his mother. I agree the breeding of such dogs should probably be banned. But destroying existing dogs should be case by case depending on dog but ESPECIALLY OWNER.
It's the same as those malinoie dogs, now those definitely need banning, one killed his police dog trainer a few weeks ago, which is pretty scary since a lot of people are now in possession of one or more with no idea how to handle dog's!!
I own a Dobermann who is definitely capable of being lethal, but I own him because I've simply always wanted one since seeing one as a kid, just because of how beautiful he is, and he is stunning. I think my mentality is pretty ok.
We live on a farm in Cyprus. We have been giving a home to stray dogs and cats here for 20 years as animal welfare here is terrible. In our time we have had a Cane Corso and an American Staffordshire (both no longer with us). We now have a Doberman, a Labrador, a Husky Malinois mix, a Husky Beagle mix and a mini Pinscher. We also take care of around 30 cats. In all this time none of our dogs has attacked a cat on the contrary my 45 kilo male Doberman cleans the kittens ears. I do believe that it is the fault of the owners and the way at which they have socialized the dogs and I will say that breeds such as large terriers do have a propensity to be violent when in the hands of idiots. If you were to put together a rogues gallery of the owners of dogs, regardless of breed that have killed or maimed people they are all from a particular strata of society with the brains of a rocking horse.
Here in the uk the majority of people who own these breeds of dogs are idiots who just want to look hard and owning these breeds is a status symbol, like driving a Range Rover and wearing designer clothes.
They aren't all like that. It's about genetics, good breeding, training and socialising. I know so many nasty dogs that have been poorly bred. It's not necessarily about the breed. What Jo is saying is completely correct. If you don't know anything about the breed, don't say anything. Keep sucking up what the media wants you to believe.
Why complicate the issue and divert the attention by bringing up other ways people die by accident or criminal behaviour. This woman is defending this breed and nothing helpful.
Well, as you watch your helpless child being torn apart like tissue paper and your unfortunate Yorkie being turned inside out, you can console yourself with the knowledge that it's not the dog's fault and they're actually a really nice breed that's great with kids. Not with _your_ kid, obviously. But an all-round loveable scamp who wouldn't hurt a fly.
@@laserpanda94 definitely. I was saying to my husband: they're pets to their owners, to the rest of the public they're killing machines. I'm actually very nervous about this because my Yorkshire terrier got attacked once by one of these muscly dogs, I don't know exactly what breed. She pood herself, and she escaped by the grace of God. The owner jumped on top of her dog and mine managed to flee. It was very distressing, she's nervous with every single dog now and I get really worried if we pass by any big scary dog. On the day of the attack, my dog was on the lead, hers was off the lead. Mine barked at the other dog, who attacked mine. That's why I'm so worried now.

@paulroberts7544 yes any strong animal can kill a person but the difference in size and strength is immense, you really struggle stopping a German Shepherd never mind a xl My advice don't have any but for these idiots who feel the need to have big dogs it's much safer to have a Shepherd any day over a Xl
Bring in dog licences and make it a points system like driving licences. To get the licence you have to complete basic dog ownership and safety courses. Then you have to apply for every dog you want to own. Every time your dog is reported and evidenced as being as out of control you get points on your licence, a fine and are required to take a course. A governing body of dog professionals oversees the licences and restricts who can own big and powerful breeds
The trouble is how many people drive illegally without licenses insurance or tax and never take a driving lesson.they will do the same with dog ownership
My cousin bought a similar dog to these ones as a birthday gift. We'll, after 2 years he is got bored of the dog and doesn't want it anymore. We are talking about a super idiot, uneducated human being who just had the money and bought a dog. Apparently, an idiot like that would only buy a dog that looks strong. I agree with you.

@@goymedhundDogtrainingBehavior As a dog trainer for service dogs I find her whole demeanour not what I’d expect from someone in her profession.

Why don’t we use them as service dogs? Because they cannot be reliably trained.
@@bunkerbusterexplore i get that. I just know that she has lived with the breed and helped save and rehabilitate so many " dangerous" dogs. And to her defence - she has never been money hungry and has done more than anyone i know totally for free.. Taken in dogs, traveled around, helped helped and helped. Donated and given away tons of stuff or free. to shelters etc. She does not own her own house , she has a used car.. I know this because she and her Ex . has been my teachers for approx 5 years and she has ben nothing but brilliant all the way.

She is very emphatic as a person and She also wants change around these dogs and i think her points at the end is great.
I have an Akita, she is never allowed off her lead in public, she is never left alone outside in the garden, she is furiously territorial and doesn’t like other dogs. I have a muzzle and if she behaves on walks she has it put on. I also would have no objection to a license system and my dog is chipped. I have utter contempt for other dog owners of any breed who allow their dogs to roam free unleashed in public places.
People have no idea what Akita’s, Husky’s, Malamutes etc can do. They can be the most aggressive, feisty, dominant dogs around. Well done you for being so level headed 👏🏻
The owner of any dogs or animals should be accountable for their animals behavior. In this instance, the owner of the dog should face criminal charge and jail time for killing the 52 year old man.
If they did breed another version, then THAT breed should be banned too IF they are killing people and pets as they are NOW, we can’t just accept them terrorising our neighbourhoods because they may breed another version, that’s FXXXXXG RIDICULOUS, if one of her loved ones were killed she’d be campaigning for a ban on them IMMEDIATELY, most don’t care until it happens to them
Dear XL owners: YOU will legally have to muzzle your XL's, (look into getting your pet used to wearing one on walks, your dog will have to wear it for the rest of its life whilst in public) pay insurance and neuter and chip them. There wont be a mass cull of non aggressive family pets, however if your not muzzling it in public police see it, it could be seized and if it's designated a banned type it will have to be kept in a kennel without owner vists for up to a year or until tested for aggression and classed as banned but exempt if deemed not aggressive (going on what happens to banned pit type dogs over past 30 years) maybe longer if there is a lot of seized dogs. Obviously a real concern to owners of XL's who are loving family non aggressive pets. If your NOT letting them off to run riot in the park or hassle other dogs, its NOT dragging you down the road and scaring kids then unless police get a call about your dog then you probably wont be 'targeted' by police however that depends on the constable that see's you or that nosey neighbour doesnt like the look of your dog. The adding of XL's to Dangerous Dogs Act will effect legal American Bully Owners, legal Standard Bullies, Classic Bullys, American Bulldogs, Cane Corso's and probably certain mastiffs and staffy crosses, not because they are now banned but because legally they are very difficult to tell apart from XL's police will simply have to follow a flowchart to determine the breed, Police constables arent experts and will no doubt seize wrong dogs.
It's ok. Their dogs are their babies who they love more than life itself so I'm sure they'll do whatever is necessary to remain safe and compliant and not put the dog at risk....
I would like to see new legislation include automatic and swift euthanasia of any unmuzzled dangerous dog. Hopefully after a few dozen are put down the owners might get the message.
All dogs, throughout history have had a job of work to do for the humans. Hunting, retrieving . . . you get the picture. How would you stop a Spaniel chasing birds? How would you stop a Border Collie rounding up everything (in the absence of sheep)? How would you stop a GSD from watching over his family and alerting to an intruder? How would you stop a Greyhound running at 40mph and chasing everything that moves? How would you stop a Jack Russell Terrier killing a rat? You can't - it's inbuilt ! They ALL have been specially bred to enhance these traits - for a job of work for their humans! WE have made the blue-prints by selectively breeding dogs with the traits we want.. . . . . . . . THEN . . . . . . we have the Bully breeds. These dogs' ancestors were bred over centuries solely for blood sports - human entertainment! Inbred over and over to accentuate and concentrate the fighting/killing traits. That's what they were bred to do - that's their 'job of work'. As such, they have NO place as a pet animal, in any home anywhere in the world.
Absolutely amazing job done by Vanessa there. Well done Vanessa👋 How can you compare falling off the roof accidently to being killed by a dangerous dogs. I live in Liverpool, you see lads walking around with two of them as similar to carrying a knife either to intimate people or as a protection. These dogs are not like a husky. Huskies are not aggressive dogs.
And what Jo was saying in this interview would do more to address the problem of lads using them like weapons than banning the breed. If you ban the breed you simply get another variation. If you impose licenses for people owning a certain size of dog then you're able to enforce that a lot more. Of course there's a severe lack of dog wardens and police around so whichever way you go it's not really going to have too much of an affect sadly.
Yes, Huskies can be very dangerous dogs. Not a great comparison, really. The thing about the Husky is that it's an ancient breed, been around (and in the UK) for a long time. Death toll, by Huskies, lingering around the 'low' range. XL Bullies are a new concoction. Haven't been here for that long. Death toll already shocking. Just because there is one breed head and shoulders above the rest in it's per capita human toll - it doesn't mean all the rest are angels. There is an absolute when it comes to something so stand out lethal. Below that - there is a quantifiable range. We should be wary of allowing demonisation of one breed to lead to automatic evangelising of all the others.
Huskies are just as dangerous but they aren’t in fashion with the criminal element that have latched onto the XLs. Huskies or GSDs will be the next breed to be crossed once the XL is banned. They are already on SM breeding big dogs like Great Danes with huskies to make dogs that look like wolves. 2 years that’ll be the next dog bite problem.
I lost count of how many times I had pitbull type dogs attack my dogs in parks in the early 90's. I can only assume the owners thought my dogs were labradors from a distance. Fortunately for me my dogs were Bullmastiffs, not aggressive but very protective.
You are right of course silly me Bullmastiffs are used in South Africa as lap dogs. I see them with bows in their hair wearing pretty little pink suits/ @@Wabsy1
Another very uneducated individual. Do abit of research instead of being brainwashed by tabloids and the government. Half of these dogs being named as XL bully's.. are NOT Xl bully's at all.
Actually no XL bullys are not inherently aggressive, they were bred mainly for companionship. Obviously the wrong people take advantage of a big muscular dog and they were used for fighting and protection.
My young sausage dog attacked me a few weeks ago and yet in the main, hes the most loving beautiful dog...i absolutely love dogs but there is always that side to a dog it is multi layered and it gets quite complicated but you take on an XL dog ypu surely must have in your mind there is the possibility things could go wrong. Bare facts that dogs are capable of attack, it is in their psyche and it is up to us to understand and respect this.
Neighbour has a bully which randomly attacked their female friend who knew the dog already. Sounded horrific and took several men to get it off. Dog is still with the owner. Didn't get reported like many others as they didn't want the dog taken away.
Why didn't you or your friend who was attacked report it? 🤔There is still time to report, before it's a child it attacks next time, and maims or kills that child. On your conscious be it.
She actually said drunk drivers, and she made a valid put! If this man had been killed by a drunk driver i doubt very much we would have heard about it, as there are so many that happen, they go unmentioned! So what is the difference exactly?? that is some useless simpleton decided he does not give a flying fuck about killing someone else when he gets in a car pissed up, whether it be a child, OAP, whoever, so why the hell aren't we taking those people out of society! Why aren't we having them destroyed, wouldn't be moral now, would it?? always the animals that get the rough deal!! Humans are the worst monsters on this planet, in general, animals don't even come close!!! I am guessing if you looked into the other side of this story, the one we will never get to hear about, you will find this dog had not be looked after properly, not by a long shot!!! Once again humans at fault!!
@@Darkangel-hy8ev I'd be quite happy to have drunk drivers taken out of society and they often are, by serving prison sentences. Difference is, you can often rehabilitate a drunk driver, you can't a dog that has mauled someone to death. Comparing the two is ridiculous. As for your claim about these dogs having been raised badly, well that doesn't apply for all. Many were raised in loving families. Reactive explosive aggression is in their genetics and you can't entirely eradicate that with a consistent and kind upbringing. Doesn't work like that.
@@jenny2tone242 I don't care about rehabilitation, they made a choice, the dog may not have done because of how he was raised, that is the difference here!! Serving a prison sentence is one thing, they don't get put to sleep like the dog, do they now?? It is not ridiculous at all, it is in your mind, because you choose it to be!! Find me a case where one of these dogs has killed someone, or attacked like this time, and we get the history of the owners and how it was raised and kept!! I will be waiting for the details, with proof at the time of course, as needed to be investigated there and then!! It is no good saying the words and hoping they are true, unless you have proof, i have yet to see a case, where you here the other side of the story, and that makes my blood boil, as it should anyone, it is very suspect!!! Strange how many people have these dogs who have raised them right and gave them the training and the love, and they have never had a problem with them, very strange!!! Be waiting on those details, i am sure you will be able to find plenty according to your beliefs!!!
@@Darkangel-hy8ev How do you know the owners of the dogs who have killed didn't look after them well? You don't.

Are you seriously telling me no other breed of dog has ever had bad owners? Haha please, there is only so much willful ignorance I can take. Tell you what, you find me verifiable proof that other breeds are killing and seriously mauling on the same scale that these dogs are, cite your sources, and I will happily cite mine for what you asked for.
The majority of XL bullies are safe and not a danger to the public. However a percentage of XL bullies have American game-bred pitbull dog fighting lines bred into them and this does make those particular dogs more dangerous in the wrong hands. Unfortunately the XL bully has become abit of a status dog in the UK, which may have increased demand for a more "aggressive XL bully." Therefore, increasing the percentage of XL bullies coming from US game-bred pitbulls. A game bred pitbull is an intense working dog used for dog sports in America. In the wrong hands, it is a loaded gun. If these genetic lines are spilling over into ordinary homes in the UK then there is no wonder the UK is seeing so many XL bully attacks. Tighter breeding restrictions are needed and breeders need to start taking serious responsibility for the type of dogs they are breeding. An XL bully bred from game-bred pitbull lines should be going to experienced working/sporting homes only, not your average dog owner. We need stricter breeding and ownership regulations to restrict who can breed and own big powerful dogs. I'm all for dog ownership licences
Defo need dog licences to own a dog. Should bring in a points system like driving licences. Every time your dog is reported and evidenced as being as out of control you get points on your licence, a fine and are required to take a course
@A998-wy3qw don't disagree with licences at all, BUT the points thing I'd worry about with other people. My dog is always on lead, I have full control of her, but she is anxious around other dogs and will bark and lunge to scare them off. An off-lead dog with no recall ran up to us, mine has never bitten, can play nicely or be neutral with dogs she knows, she was obviously continuing to bark/pull at the dog that was running up to us as she didn't know them, yet I was the one accused of having an aggressive out of control dog, told I shouldn't leave the house with her, they shouldn't have to worry about their dog running up to mine etc. Would that be reported against me? Even though my dog was actually under my control? (She's not an XL bully but is a large dog).
It's very obvious that dog owners have not one ounce of concern for a single person whether newborn, toddler, child or elder who has been severely injured or killed by dogs. Very disturbing.
there are videos on RU-vid of sheepdogs, they instinctively round up all sorts of animals and try the same with people. there are videos of pet beavers, they try to build little dams in the house, instinctively. if its an attack breed then those insticts are in there. there are predictable traits in different breeds.
As a keen cyclist and {ex} runner, I have been attacked countless times, and I have always found that the owners are either delusional about their dog's temperament, or downright cocky about their own ability to control them in public. It is crazy that we are having this puerile debate when lives are at stake, we should just ban dangerous dogs, and prosecute owners when their dogs attack in public - simple!
The same here , as a long distance runner ( 200 miles a month ) and sometimes cyclist I have also been attacked several times , the owners couldn't care less . In the latest attack I decided not to prosecute so the dog wasn't destroyed but have decided to prosecute every time now . And yes owners should be prosecuted as if they caused the damage themselves 🤔
I had a German Shepherd and he was a great family dog and big softy. We have dog licences in Australia and German Shepherd’s are not on the dangerous dog list. For her to put them in the same category as Pitt Bulls and Bully dogs is outrageous
No she didn't, she squinted in the sun. This lady has years of experience in this field and Vanessa was just trying to unnerve her unsuccessfully I'm glad to say
I have taken my dogs to obedience training since they were tiny puppies... socialisation and good training from puppyhood is so important for a well adjusted dog... the owners of these bullbreeds have no interest in socialisation and well behaved dogs, they don't have the strength or the knowledge of how to control them when things go wrong .... so really I don't think there is a place for this type of dog in public if irresponsible people own them ...and I say this as someone who loves dogs big and small. Any breed of dog can bite but when these dogs attack it has the tendency to be extremely dangerous due size, strength and jaw size.
Absolutely, there is no need for these types of dogs in 21st century society. Ridiculous mentality of the idiots breeding them and the people wanting to own one. Has to be stopped.
As some others have said in there comments, the dog owners of animals who injure or kill people should receive prison sentences equivalent to that if a person had committed them, ie, grievous bodily harm, manslaughter or even murder if deliberate use of the dog as a weapon is seen as credible
I've even saw xl bullies on leads managing to get away from there owners. A few years ago I was in Glasgow City centre going fir a meal with my wife a girl was walking buy with a Staffordshire bull terrier off the lead when it Randomly attacked a man and then held onto his arm for over 20 minutes well all tried to remove the dog even punching it and it felt nothing. Bullies are a lot stronger and more muscular and are bred for their aggression . Even with good training there's always a chance of it being unpredictable. Unfortunately most people that own them are not responsible dog owners. I love animals there's no easy solution.
You need to do a bit of research instead of following the herd. Bully's were bred to be family dogs. They got into the wrong hands and that's where the problem lies. Notice the attacks are happening in the same areas as gang crime. Twat
@clairenicholson4840 according to you I'm not , feel free to explain. That's the problem with Internet comment's. You make one and people think they have you figured out.
What a ridiculous suggestion by Jo. Owners having medical tests 😂. It doesn't matter how physically strong the owner is. If the victim of a dog attack hasn't got the strength to flight off/restrain the dog, they'll be severely mauled.
I agree! A male American XL bully dog can weigh up to 11 stone. Even a very strong man would have trouble controlling a dog like that as it is pure muscle, jaw, teeth and testosterone. Most humans wouldn't stand a chance
The ignorance of the woman arguing against the ban is astounding. I’m sure all the people who own these dogs would attend the GP for the tests she has mentioned, and would apply for permits.
she's a dog expert? she has come forward with a real plan, breed specific legislation doesn't work! the price cap on what you can charge for a "type" of dog is a brilliant idea!
DON´T TALK ABOUT SPAIN!! I LIVE here and MY dog... a Yorkie, was badly ATTACKED by TWO PITBULLS WHILE SITTING IN A COFFEE SHOP!! The ´´law´´ in Spain is that these breeds MUST be muzzled, they were NOT!! My dog needed extensive treatment for head and body wounds and the owner did NOT have to pay because the police told me to ´´sort it out with your house insurance´´!!?? WTF?? Oh yeah... cos the OWNER WAS SPANISH!! And I am not! WELCOME TO SPAIN!! My little rescue dog is now TERRIFIED to even walk outside!!
During my job I have encountered many labradors who have been abused and beaten by their owners, yet they have never turned on them or any other people. American Bully XL is a killer dog. It kills even when it is loved by its owners. It simply snaps and kill because it is bred for that purpose.
Yes some German Shepherds do occasionally bite, any breed of dog is capable of biting a human, but most dogs apart from the Bully breeds don't tend to go for the throat face and head. Police dogs are trained to apprehend a criminal by grabbing the arm, and holding the person until the police officer tells the dog to release. The XL bites follows the trait of the Pitbull which bite, hold and continue to bite and tear the flesh often down to the bone. Tearing the face of the person is exactly what a Pitbull type of breed does, you have to just watch a RSPCA video on the investigation of fighting ring gangs and you will see exactly what I mean about the damage these dogs do to each other in a fight. Often 1 dog is killed in the fight, or injured so severe that the owner kills the dog himself.
One dog killing a person is one too many! The owners are to blame and rules and laws need to be put place…… just so you know I am a dog lover and own a dog myself!!
@@chrismann5070 As i just said humans are the worse monsters, and you are a shining example!!! I would save an animal in danger any day over someone like you, over most humans anyway, my choice, my prerogative!!
I agree with her on making sure all of those dangerous dogs cost an arm and a leg ( not literally) 😅 Because you will never see wealthy, educated, classy people walking around with nasty looking animals like those… there’s only one type of people who love them… the rough kind
You weren't listening, XL Bullies already cost an absolute fortune, she was suggesting putting a cap on how much breeders can sell them for, detering irresponsible 'quick buck' breeders, leaving only those with good practices and a ture passion for the breed.
I have always held the opinion that every person should have to be trained to own and control a dog ,also every dog owner should have insurance for each animal owned .
Great idea 💡 Will it stop black market trading of these 9 stone dogs? No Is it safe for children to walk the streets or play in a park with a 9 stone dog I would say not !! The guy that lost his brother to his dog attacking him yesterday is now facing 9 years in prison. They is no need for large dogs.
that does not help if this kind of dog attacks and kills the owners are not able to see this kind of dog is so powerful compared to some others and lock on to the person the attack it is the owners at fault if hey dont control but the dog is breed to be powerful
The owners of these types of breeds are similar types of people for example low IQ , cannibis smokers, drug dealers, waiting to look hard and intimidating etc. Part of the problem is what also leads to the attacks is the owners dont have them on a lead and let the dog run free in the street or council estate. It the same with pitball owners.
They are almost ALWAYS bull terrier / pit bull / muscle type breeds and cross breeds that have been bred from the beginning for their aggression & for fighting purposes.. EVERY SINGLE TIME ! These are not pets. These are status symbols. I have had 4 German Shepherds one after the other, all were very obedient and well trained. All were very friendly with people and not aggressive None of them EVER bit or even tried to bite anyone EVER ! They were bred for working ,the clue is in the name ! These muscle breeds were bred entirely for their aggression It’s a no brainer, ban them, they are killer dogs !
My sausage dog was attacked by two of this breed off the lead in a forest. My daughter picked up our dog to save him, the owners came over and kicked their dogs and punched them in the head. Those poor dogs, it’s the owners that need punching!
I own an American bulldog it got attacked by two Jack Russells I told my dog no leave and he did absolutely nothing the owner of the Russells didn’t even apologise true story and you are right it’s the owners 💯
From an American breeder's webpage: "Originally developed to be a family companion dog, the American Bully is characterized by their gentle disposition, cheerful nature, and an extraordinary willingness to please"...
30 years of failed dangerous dogs legislation has taught people nothing. It's not a breed issue it's a responsible dog owner issue. I've owned large mastiffs and bullbreess for over 22 years. They are superb in the right hands.
I had no confidence in his woman who claims to be part of the"professional dog community" form the first time she spoke. Sell them cheaper ??? FFS what a RIDICULOUS idea.
The rudeness of this presenter is appaling. Banning breed wont change anything, it wil just make it be more back yard bred, and more hideous concoctions will get put of that. Breeding and dog owning has to be regulated by law, not breeds being banned...
I just always want to point out that not EVERYONE likes dogs.Its not a legal requirement.Some people actually grew up and dont think life is like a Disney cartoon.
Stupid reckless woman defending the indefensible. All dogs must be on a lead and all owners must have insurance and for large dogs a license should also be required. XL Bullies must be banned and anything like them.
When did she say they shouldn’t be on a lead? Also, you can’t get insurance for an XL Bully and she just listed a whole heap of things people should need when buying any type of large dog. One of them things was a license. I’m guessing you know nothing about dogs because everything she said was true! Breeding and costs are a big problem, banning Pitts didn’t stop anything because there’s loads of Pitt Bulls about, interbreeding is a big problem with loads of different breeds and it’s known to impact their brain. Saying “Stupid Reckless Woman” but then going on to agree with some of what she said sounds stupid. Banning them solve anything unfortunately
There were a lot of staffy cross labrador dogs that were siezed because they just looked similar to pitbulls the last knee-jerk dangerous dog act was pushed through. They didn't do dna tests to check, and if you paid the £500 to get your dog dna tested, it was too late, and your dog was already dead. What they are calling XL bullys are cross breeds at best or completely inbred mongrels at worst. How are they supposed to ban the XL Bully when its not even a breed. I think that if your dog attacks anyone, then you should go to prison. No deferred sentence, just a 3 year prison term. That would deter many people from getting a dog they can't handle. As it stands now, those criminals that have these dogs for fighting dont care if their dog is seized they just get another one because they don't give a damn about the dog.
Thank you. Paying to breed a few then get drug dealers involved is easy compared to the amount of effort put in to getting folks to volunteer for the magic juice
@@sarahscroggins2793I was so close to being mauled by a chow a few months ago I reported it to the police and warned everyone I saw . That was traumatic enough. The bigger agenda is de pop us livestock and pets .
XL Bullies were developed in the US where the DDA (1991) has no effect. They weren't bred in response to any British legislation, they were bred because the breeders wanted to develop a large powerful dog.
Unfortunately, there is a clear pattern of dog attacks leading to a death. Its a difficult one, it seems there is no way to keep track of dogs, more so the owners. It is the owners responsibility to train their dogs, but they are animals after all, they arent going to be contorled all the time. Its a shame but if it was one odd attack then we wouldnt be here speaking about this breed.
This woman is so smug reflecting the story . Why is she being in drunk driving ? The story has been reported as it happened no scare tactics . Not needed as it’s a terrifying news item
Fairly simple to understand for anyone with working brains! If this man had been killed by a drunk driver, i doubt it would have been reported as it happens quite often, not news worthy enough i guess, which is her point! Anyone who gets in a car pissed up knowing they potentially can kill someone, a child, OAP, anyone, should be held accountable just like these dogs are, and lets have these drunk drivers destroyed, shall we? of course not, would not be moral would it now, people would not like it, but when it comes to animals they always get the rough end of the stick, so to speak, for something that probably is not even their own fault! Was a great point, and i agree with her on that!!
Well said Vanessa. I like dogs but if i was out with my little dog and saw one of these coming towards me no one would see me for dust. Maybe they should bring back the dog licence and anyone wanting to own one of these dangerous animals be thoroughly vetted. Its the fault of the people who breed them but always the animal that suffers the consequences. My heart goes out for the victims of these dog attacks.
