Rejected petition Remove the XL Bully from thelist of banned dogs

We call on the UK Government to remove the XL Bully from the li list of banned dogs under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991

More details

We believe that breed-specific legislation is ineffective and unfair. The vast majority of XL Bully dogs are friendly, safe, and well cared for by responsible owners. A dog's behaviour depends on its upbringing, training, and environment, not solely on its breed.
Banning XL Bullies punishes esponsible owners and leads to the unnecessary destruction of healthy, well-socialised dogs. Instead, the Government shol cus on promotina responsible ownershin
