"British Prime Minister Calls for Ban on Dangerous American XL Bully Dogs"

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced plans to ban American XL Bully dogs, describing them as a "danger to our communities" following a series of recent attacks. Sunak has asked government ministers to define the characteristics of the breed, which is not recognized by official kennel clubs. The ban is expected to be implemented by the end of the year under the Dangerous Dogs Act. Campaigners argue that the breed should be added to the list of banned dogs due to perceived dangerous characteristics. The UK's Kennel Club, however, believes that breed-specific bans do not address the root cause of attacks, which is irresponsible dog ownership and training.
