UK to Prohibit American XL Bully Dogs Following Attacks

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that American XL bully dogs will be banned in the country by the end of the year following a series of serious dog attacks, including one that resulted in a man's death. XL bully dogs, a breed derived from American pit bull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers, were responsible for over half of all fatal dog attacks in Britain last year. Sunak has asked experts to define XL bully dogs before implementing the ban, while some animal welfare charities argue that focusing on responsible ownership and training is a better solution than banning specific breeds.
