XL Bully court live as 6 owners to appear in dock including for alleged dog attacks

When former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a ban on XL Bully dogs in late 2023 it led to protest marches in the streets.

Anti-Bully sentiment was at fever pitch after blanket media coverage of violent attacks, some involving children. The dogs are big, ferocious looking animals with thick muscles and wide jaws, capable of tearing humans apart. After multiple grisly deaths, and viral videos, there was widespread public outrage at a lack of government control.

But marchers chanting 'Save Our Bullies' claimed allegations XL Bullies were disproportionately involved in dog attacks were untrue, and blamed the media for focussing on one breed when other breeds with bad owners could do just as much damage.

Since December 31, 2023 there has been a ban on selling or breeding XL Bullies
