It didn't get one of those from me. 
, I don't imagine they had lots of people to interview on the specifics 
and we have no idea how old the pups were, certainly the male could have been neutered in the between time, it doesn't take very long

That poor boy who is left with an absolute cockwomble of a dad. I cannot imagine how terrified he must have been witnessing what he did.

Too little time, too much to read.
He might not even have the cockwomble for a while if he gets locked up, as he hopefully will.

Thank you all for your replies to my post...
I was just trying to make a point that my American Bulldog is an angel compared to my JRT.
I live on a farm with a walled garden and my JRT is a farm dog that has the run of the land and farm buildings

The point people are trying to make is that if your dog attacks people it should not be loose, we have 8 farm dogs, non of which are unsupervised and loose, they are not aggressive.

You are missing the point. A woman lost her life in horrific circumstances, witnessed by her grandson. That is the tragedy. How some newspaper chose to report that is neither here nor there.

This to me is the situation on the next door farm, their JRT IS untrained.

Another innocent life needlessly taken in the most painful and terrifying way. This dog owner needs to be imprisoned in one of the grim prisons, not one of the soft ones, for a significant period of time.

"An XL Bully dog was shot dead by police after it attacked two men just moments after appearing "happy and begging for treats" in a shop.
Hunter, thought to be in his late 40s, had rescued Zeus from England only two weeks prior,"
XL Bully with 'innocent face' begs for treats moments before he's shot dead
WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: An XL Bully dog named Zeus was shot dead by police after it attacked two men in a shop, with the dangerous breed set to be outlawed by February 1www.dailystar.co.uk
I watched that video and to be honest that's why I find XL bullies so frightening. Regardless of judging the owner for what he was buying etc etc, the dog did seem good natured and reasonably well behaved (except for jumping up at the counter for treats but I'm not sure that means anything). But it obviously just flipped moments later. I think a lot of them are just not right in the head.

'It's only a laugh, no harm done'
As mentioned, a wagging tail doesn't mean a dog isn't going to bite and we're unlikely to pick up a lot of microbehaviours on CCTV, but a lot of people don't seem to know what they are and how to look out for them anyway.
I'm afraid I will judge people if they're in 'control' of a large, unknown dog with one hand and a counterweight (bag of cans) in the other, I don't know if there had been drink taken already, but even in the house, some dogs react very badly to the change that comes over people (smell, different behaviour, movement etc).
Also one can't possibly 'know' a dog after a fortnight, especially one with an allegedly traumatic past and taking it into narrow, confined, busy spaces like the corner shop and inviting loads of interactions with new people is the last thing you should do in that situation.
I'm not negating the fact that these dogs can change in the blink of an eye, but some of the decision making boggles my mind.

Too little time, too much to read.
The only time I've been bitten has been by farm jack Russells that have come up behind me unnoticed and got me on the ankle.

But the whole issue is, right or wrong, you could do that with almost any dog and it wouldn't then go on to kill people seconds later. It might be unhappy or even bite once, but it wouldn't attack and kill and keep trying to kill until it was dead itself.

It's wrong and shouldn't be done with any (unknown rescue) dog.

But the dogs’ owner looks like such a lovely man. It shows you just can’t tell.

Have the dogs been abandoned? And hopefully seized?

A wannabe rapper apparently. I have read that he's been released on bail. I feel so sorry for the boy. Imagine just being left with him ...

As yet we only know that eventually the police have caught up with the woman concerned and have interviewed her. They are asking for anyone with more information who witnessed it. There are hundreds of varying posts on the local fb, people are asking on there if they have seized the dogs. So far that is as much that we know. Some people that live on that road have commented that they daren't take their dogs for a walk passed that house where those dogs live.
I guess in time we will get to know more about the outcome, it has upset us being so close to home, approx 1 and a half miles away. There has also been police reports about dangerous dogs recently on the local playing fields, that is much closer to us ! Keep hearing about all these terrible incidents with dogs is terrifying.

XL bully owner whose dogs killed grandmother now wants them 'wiped out'
Ashley Warren's dogs killed Esther Martin while she was caring for his son - and her grandson - in Essex while he was in London shooting a music video.
Bit of a backtrack here, or he is actually completely stupid ..

Apparently from looking at comments on FB (of course that is not gospel!) the dogs had not been exempted.
I hope they come down on him like a tonne of bricks.

We should be able to neuter (without anaesthetic 
)the owner if he knew they were XL Bullies and didn't register them. Then jail him for a long time.
As you are now longer allowed to sell or rehome the breed, I wonder what he hoped to do with the growing puppies? The police should asking for the details of who bought the others from the litter, even if it is just to make sure they get registered and neutered at the appropriate age

That poor child and those poor dogs as well. He is to blame for all of this. He felt he did not have to abide by a law because he did not agree with it. That is no excuse. I really really hope they put him away for a long time. His son seems to have aunts etc who perhaps can offer a more appropriate home for him. That is no way to bring up a child - teaching them that you only obey laws you agree with.

I wandered onto an XL bully page on facebook yesterday and they were openly discussing selling XLs, referring to them as goats. Ie does anyone have a goat for sale? One poster didn't get it, and they pretty much explained it to her. On a public facebook group, the first one that comes up if you search XL bully. This was amongst the many posts about not exempting them and how the government was lying to destroy their fur babies. I was astounded at the stupidity on every single level.
