The Issue

As a devoted Pit Bull mom, I am deeply saddened by the ban that has been placed on XL American Bully breeds in the UK. This unjust law is tearing families apart as they are forced to surrender their cherished pets. While we cannot reverse what has already happened to those who were taken away, we can strive to prevent further heartbreak for others.

The current legislation unfairly targets specific breeds without considering individual dog behavior or owner responsibility. It's important to note that breed-specific legislation (BSL) has been proven ineffective in reducing dog bite incidents according to numerous studies including one from Journal of Veterinary Behavior (2014). The real issue lies not with 'bad dogs', but with irresponsible owners.

This petition calls for an immediate review and repeal of this breed-specific ban, allowing responsible pet owners to keep their beloved family members. We also urge authorities to establish a reimbursement scheme for those who have suffered financial loss due to this unfair policy.

It's time we stand up against such discriminatory laws and advocate for our four-legged friends who cannot speak for themselves. They deserve love and respect just like any other member of our families. Please sign this petition today and help us bring about change for all Pit Bulls and their loving owners in the UK. There are no bad dogs just bad owners! We stand behind the Bully Breed!
