"Scotland Confirms Ban on XL Bully Dogs, Owners Face Jail and Pooches at Risk"

Scotland will implement new restrictions on American XL bully dogs from February 23, requiring them to be muzzled and on a lead in public, with a ban on selling or exchanging them. From July 31, owning an XL bully without an exemption certificate will be an offense. The Scottish government aims to prevent risks to public safety and animal welfare, with penalties for breaching the new safeguards including imprisonment and fines. The decision follows concerns over attacks and an influx of the dogs from England and Wales, prompting the need for stricter regulations.

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.
