      From the dogs point of view they just want to be mates with everyone,, then a human retard buys a couple,, then because said retard has no clue then proceeds to be “the boss”, dogs know better and from there on it’s downhill and sadly the dogs come of worst. Solution,,,,,, kill of the retards, leave the dogs alone.

        Stan all of this, it’s not the dogs it’s the owners!!! Like children if you don’t raise them right you end up with dog’s with bad manners. They a a reflection of their owners and actually have a remarkable ability for instant rehabilitation in most cases. I also heard there is someone walking around Hove with a probable rescue Greyhound, unmuzzled which has bitten at least one person and attacked several dogs. The man looks like he might have special needs, how the hell was heaven given that dog and therefore what was the point of punishing XL bully oeners if people are still getting bitten by them?? pointles Tory money grab is all it was. This country is a complete mess and its so sad to watch what was Great Britain loose it’s Grratness so fast *facepalm *smdh Your comments gave me life… never change!!! Bless

    I can count at least six police vehicles there – are they all really necessary?

    If he only has minor injuries then the dogs were not wanting to hurt him! Look at the owner rather than the dogs he probably shouldn’t be in charge of a hamster yet alone 2 dogs – don’t punish the dogs please.

      I tend to agree. Mind you, in my opinion, I also wonder the same about some people being parents.

      No. The law says otherwise. Only idiots want these kinds of dogs.

    Sadly, it is quite likely the animals will be destroyed.

    How many people were bitten by nonXL bully dogs on the same day ?

      Indeed Chris, there is a focus on this breed at the moment, like several breeds before it. I felt that the Government’s response to this was a knee-jerk reaction at best, even the definition guidance is loose at best and leaves way too much to discretion, in my opinion.

    What a load of tosh!
    Media doing what it does best! Stirring the pot to cause fear and division.
    This won’t stop at large breeds. This will eventually lead to all dogs being killed unnecessarily.
    FYI- these were NOT XL BULLIES
    — this has nothing to do with the owner they were in care of a “trusted” friend.
    If they were dangerous they would have caused more than a minor injury. They wouldn’t have stopped. The tiny marks could have come from anything. Basically some complete jockey has a bee in his bonnet and thought getting 2 family pets killed would be a good resolution. A* bellend
