"Controversy Ignites as XL Bully Ban Takes Effect Amid Legal Challenges and Public Vigils"

New legislation in England and Wales requires XL Bully dogs to be muzzled and on a leash in public, with breeding, selling, rehoming, and abandoning the breed now illegal. Despite the ban, some owners are struggling to adapt, with dogs resisting muzzles and others still attempting to rehome their pets illegally. Owners must apply for an exemption certificate by January 31 to legally keep their XL Bully dogs, and further restrictions will come into force on February 1. The law aims to protect the public following a series of attacks linked to the breed, but animal welfare groups express concern over the rapid implementation and potential consequences for animal shelters and veterinary services.

"XL Bully Ban Sparks Judicial Review and Public Outcry in England and Wales"

The UK government's ban on XL bully dogs has prompted a judicial review hearing set for January after campaigners challenged the new restrictions. The ban, which includes measures like mandatory muzzling and leashing in public, has been met with opposition from animal welfare groups like the RSPCA, who argue that the tight timeline and lack of preparation could lead to the euthanasia of many dogs. Owners have until January 31 to apply for a certificate of exemption to keep their pets legally. The ban was enacted following serious attacks involving the breed, with further restrictions to come into force on February 1.

"Rise in Abandoned XL Bullies Spurs Race to Rehome Amid UK Breed Ban and Attack Surge"

The UK is facing a crisis as hundreds of American XL Bully dogs are being abandoned or sent to Scotland to avoid a ban on the breed, which comes into effect on December 31. The ban, announced by Rishi Sunak, follows a series of fatal attacks linked to the breed. Animal shelters are overwhelmed, and there are concerns about the government and police's readiness to enforce the ban. The RSPCA and other animal welfare groups are working hard to rehome the dogs before the deadline, but many may face euthanasia if homes are not found. The ban has sparked debate, with some arguing it unfairly targets a breed that can be safe with responsible ownership.
