Was that the malinois? There’s one with a dog walker in the park, she says it’s starting to get ‘funny’ with the toddler at home. Doesn’t get enough exercise due to toddler, isn’t allowed off lead due to poor recall, tends to pin other dogs down so isn’t allowed near Mitch. Accident waiting to happen.

The one I reported bit its female owner a few days ago. I don't know the details, but I assume it was a warning bite as she'd not be here still otherwise. I reported it online to the police and heard nothing a while back now, and nothing was done, they didn't even visit the house. Its a couple with a yearold baby who is left rolling about on the floor like you see in those awful videos. The dog resource guards the baby.
I feel absolutely sick about it. I was concerned before, but now the dog has actually bitten its not going to end well, but not sure what else I can do.

Report to social services. They’re not too keen on dogs and babies mixing at the best of times, so if it’s an XL with bite history…

another horrific story in the newspaper today. Can’t see anything about it on the BBC.

It is just not good enough is it. It is way past time for some control on the types of dogs people get commensurate with their lifestyle and experience. They should have had, I dunno, a shit zu or something if they had to have a dog.
I endured 3 years of hell with my neighbour's Rottweiler guarding the fence line, snarling, barking and throwing itself at the very cheap panel fencing, which used to bend under the weight. My garden was more or less a no go zone. My old terrier wouldn't go out there. That never left the downstairs of the terraced house and had half the garden which it was allowed in. That was its life.
Fortunately, like all their animals, they got rid of it eventually. I heard daughter on her mobile in the garden telling someone who was presumably enquiring about it that she had never met other dogs but was only 3 so should be alright and no she didn't walk her as she was too strong and she let her off the lead once and then couldn't run fast enough to catch her. I'm not making this up
Rot was rehomed, a couple of kittens appeared and a guinea pig, they lasted about 2 years then disappeared to be replaced by a Beagle. Huge relief. That seems to have gone after 2 years... but at least they seemed to walk that, just up the road and back, but even so. At least that wasn't threatening in any way.

It's not. The guilty owners were due to be sentenced yesterday. I can't find a report of any sentencing. The judge delayed sentencing because s/he wanted to know more about reports made to the council at least 3 times by members of the public. Apparently the dogs exercised themselves roaming free ie not even off lead with an owner somewhere in the vicinity.

Well, I hope the council take some responsibility for the the injuries suffered by this poor man. But they won't. In my opinion he is due compensation.
The council should have stepped up, and as for the owners... I hope they don't breed as they clearly irresponsible. I'm sorry the wretched animals didn't attack them instead of some poor man who was probably very appreciative of being independent in his later life. I know I treasure it.
I hope the judge gives them the maximum penalty that can be allowed but we need to start preventing the attacks in the first place. The laws don't seem to be applied.

I havent seen much of an outcry about the continued attacks, but I do stay away from MSM. Surely now they've tried to manage these dogs and its failed, that something more needs to be done. Either have the whole lot PTS, or introduce incredibly harsh penalties. It would only take 1 or 2 people being put away for 10yrs to make people start to pay attention surely? As far as I'm concerned its akin manslaughter, if not murder when these dogs attack and kill.

That's why nobody commits manslaughter, murder, rape, driving while under the influence, etc...
Because the thought of 10 to 25 or life without parole is such a deterrent...

Actually, for almost all murder/manslaughter cases its brief moment where they lose control. The reoffend rates are minuscule. So owning one of these dogs is a different thing.

I don't know why there isn't a One strike and you're out policy for XLBs
Everyone knows they are capable of killing people, why do they need to do so before any action is taken?

Yet all the xl bully owners continue to insist that these are all lies and it's a media campaign against their innocent fur babies.
They are currently trying to get the ban overturned, even though it's not actually a ban unfortunately. They want their little darlings running free and unmuzzled.
Can't see anything being overturned myself, or at least I hope not.

I don’t see why they even want the ban overturned, it doesn’t appear to make any difference to the way the dogs are kept. Nothing has changed and I would assume they are still being bred and the problem and risk these dogs bring to the world is never going to go away.

I hope people will start lobbying their MPs about these dog attacks. Its just not right that people are being damaged mentally and physically because of negligent dog ownership.
I read about one in Wales today, an unmasked off lead XL that attacked a child, father defended child and it went for him, mum turned but by this time owner had bothered to put it on a lead and managed to restrain it from going for her. That's one law broken, but the dog's owner had also been caught driving without a licence, ins etc whilst under the influence of coke. Not to worry though, as he suffers from depression and can't work so lives with grandparents whilst being payed benefits in the region is £270 a week.
Frankly I felt depressed reading it.

The thing is dogs that killed the woman in Aberdeen was an American bully not an XL according to the more recent reporting so it wouldn't have applied anyway.

The article calls the same dog an XL bully and an American bully, frustrating that they can get the simple but important facts rightXL bully according to this report.

American bully is not the same as American Bulldog.
American bully: pocket, standard, classic, extreme, XL.
ETA and the little toad like creature, the micro bully.
