    XL Bullies

    Another let's be different from England exercise from the SNP/Greens has seen Scotland refuse to ban them. Plenty stories of people rehoming them North of the border, looks like we're gonna end up flooded with them.

    It will only be a matter of time before someone in Scotland is attacked by an XL Bully dog and seriously injured or killed because the Scottish Government ministers have refused to ban them.

    Let's ban poodles because someone got bitten by one ten years ago. It's not the breed, or the individual dog, it's the owner.

    Banning an entire dog breed because of a small minority of irresponsible dog owners is knee jerk, snowflake nonsense and is equivalent to a racist saying all black people are criminals because there's a rumour that one robbed their neighbour's house. I reckon it's one of the few things that the Scottish Government has got right.

    Some female nurtcase is planning to open a "shelter" for them on the edge of Dundee and re-home them to Dundonians......see today's courier.

    May as well re-home tigers.

    Most deaths due to dog attacks in the UK, take place in the dogs own home or they have escaped into neighbours gardens , so this new law won't make much difference for years as there's no requirement to have the breed put down

    Hopefully there will be something that addresses the behaviour of the owner and their ability to look after any dog.

    It’s an animal.

    You get irresponsible owners but they are still animals and will attack for no obvious reason.
