UK to Prohibit American XL Bully Dogs Following Recent Attacks

Britain will ban the American XL Bully dog by the end of the year, following recent fatal attacks. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak believes the breed is a danger to communities and has requested that it be legally defined as a breed, allowing for a ban under the Dangerous Dogs Act. However, many animal experts argue that breed-specific legislation is misguided and that the focus should be on enforcing current regulations and promoting responsible dog ownership. The XL Bully would be the fifth breed to be banned in the UK, joining the pit bull terrier, Japanese toso, dogo Argentino, and fila Brasileiro.
