Dangerous Dogs Owners

Except that didn't happen.

I'd guess someone has access to in house cameras via an app. Perhaps a landlord?

It's very strange alright, but TBF he wasn't standing there filming. It was his ring-camera that took it.

Why he sent it is frankly bizarre though. Unless… could he have been a neighbour who was terrified of the dogs and had been dismissed by the family for saying they were dangerous? I don't mean that would excuse him sending graphic footage to them, but if he was drunk or whatever at the time it might help explain it.

unfortunately there’s a lot of people out there who don’t believe that

My local rural walk takes me past a house where there are three large German Shepards, securely kept from the public by 1.5m metal fence. They run up to fence barking away anytime anyone walks past. Makes me a bit nervous every time as I'd estimate they could clear the fence with ease if they had a mind to.

An added detail is that it was the womans 23rd birthday she died on.

Have you kids? It's the same thing. People want to nurture and love something. Simply put.

Look at the amount of attacks in the past few years in the UK, even after the ban a quick Google found multiple attacks by XL Bullys this week alone. Have a quick search for a video of one of these yokes running rampage in public (quite a few were recorded in UK towns recently). Add in that 95% of the people that own them seem to be scrotes. A great combination of terrible owners and horrible breed that isn't a pet. They need to be banned outright or heavily restricted at the very least. Every turd drug dealer/scummer shouldn't have access to things like this

Banning and enforcement of the ban would be a good start as the authorities could act on reports and take away the dogs. As for another agressive new dog breed being introduced it too could be banned.

Pitbulls were banned in England in 1991, 33 years later there are still Pitbulls in England nothing much changed other than Pitbulls were just upgraded to XL Bullies... rinse & repeat.

Things may have been worse without the ban.

How could it be the same unless there is no enforcement at all?

What would something different look like anyway?

There's an enforced ban in England (aswell a certain states in America) that hasn't worked in 33 years, if anything it made things worse with the subsequent introduction of XL Bullies, a bigger more powerful version of a Pitbull.

I've made a suggestion of something different above, something that doesn't just apply to Restricted Breed owners but dog owners across the board.

I'm not sure at all, it's owners parents came and took it away (owner was on holidays and I knew the girl minding it). It was 11 months old apparently and they said it never did anything like that before.

She works from home so minds dogs for cash but I think she's got decent custom from less than decent people with less than decent dogs, she takes these mad yokes in. Many other dog owners wouldn't .

It probably has bitten since.

The local priest said she was considering going back to education to be a SNA teacher, and she had ambitions.

Whatever that means.

I would imagine that the last thing on your mind when one of these yokes has your arm/leg in its mouth is to be trying to get out your penknife, open it and start trying to stab a dog that weighs nearly as much as yourself.

Just to put it in perspective I have a GSP at about 30kg. He is very passive, but when he gets playful he can get boisterous and has knocked me off my feet on a few occasions.

The XL Bully is 50 or 60kgs in weight.
