I believe that the XL bully is a kind, beautiful natured breed that loves children and people in general, and are very loyal and loving pets. It is also a well known fact that how a dog acts is a reflection of the owner's actions. Therefore bad owners should be punished for their actions, not the breed of dog. Hold all bad owners accountable!

I am a passionate dog lover, with three dovs myself and an advocate for equality among all breeds. As i have had dogs through my whole life of different breeds, it deeply saddens me to witness the unfair treatment of XL Bullies in the UK, where they are not only banned but also subjected to harsh conditions such as mandatory muzzling and even euthanasia. This is not just an issue of breed discrimination; it's a matter of life and death for these innocent creatures who deserve our love and respect.

XL Bullies, like any other breed, have the potential to be loving companions if raised in a nurturing environment. The belief that they are inherently dangerous is based on misconception rather than facts. Any breed of dog may be aggressive if it is brought up incorrectly. Unfortunately many cruel dog owners have XL Bullies as guard/fighter dogs rather than pets and therefore cause the general opinion on this breed of dog as aggressive.

The current legislation fails to take into account these factors while imposing harsh restrictions on XL Bullies. This approach does not promote public safety nor animal welfare; instead it perpetuates fear-based stereotypes about certain breeds.

An XL bully is a "Heinz 57", a mixture of different breeds, so if you ban them then this will have implications for cross breeds of dog because nobody can be sure on the breed specifics. They are all different sizes and shapes. Just because a dog is big and muscular doesn't mean it can be labelled an XL bully, it is unfair to do this.

We urge lawmakers in the UK to reconsider this ban on XL Bullies – focusing instead on responsible pet ownership education and stricter penalties for those who neglect or mistreat their pets regardless of their breed.

Banning a breed and killing innocent animals because of their owner’s bad actions is incredibly wrong.
