Britain outlawed the White Terrier in the mid 1800's and issued a decree for the extinction of those dogs. They were exceptionally aggressive, considered a common nuisance and carried rabies.
Their genes are now incorporated into the pit bull breed.
Britain is enforcing laws their "Dogs of Peace" laws they've had on the books since the 1800's.
