Rejected petition DO NOT ban the XL bully.
Rejected on
The American XL bully dog breed is under scrutiny for being a dangerous dog and already has a petition to be banned. We want the government to reconsider and NOT ban the breed.
As an XL bully owner and a responsible pet owner I can say that my own and many other XL bully's are not dangerous. These dogs, if raised correctly are some if the most docile, loyal and affectionate dogs. Only because of their size and appearance are they seen as intimidating and dangerous yet other, smaller dog breeds are notoriously more aggressive and do attack but aren't seen as dangerous.
Please do not the breed.
