The American bully XL is being banned in England and Wales, after a number of attacks involving the breed. The dogs must be kept on a lead and muzzled in public and can no longer be bred or sold.

From 1 February, it will be illegal to own an XL, unless the owner has been granted an exemption.

The dog breed originated in the US and is known for its strength.

According to the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC), it is a combination of the American pit bull terrier - already banned in England and Wales - and other bull breeds.

More likely: “WHAT DID THE KID DO to cause Snuffles to rip him to shreds?”

“He was such a sweet, gentle and loving dog. He would never hurt a fly.”

- Typical pit bull owner after his dog kills a family member.

They’re brutal, violent, bloodthirsty, can’t be trusted by their owners, and they like to kill random women and children.

Send them to Russia. The Russians will love them!

They specifically go after women and children, and not men?

I am a dog lover. I have three that I am at their beck and call. They are all rescue dogs that just wanted a home. I gave them a home and they give me companionship and love. I would never have a pit bull or a pit bull mix. They are genetically breed to be fighters. They can be gentle and loving but are just a bomb with an unstable and short fuse.

A pit doesn’t have to be XL to overpower an adult. More than half of those killed and hurt are children.

75% of the dogs in the local shelter are pits.

I told my daughter any pit coming into a shelter should be euthanized.

She bit my head off. Figuratively.

Better that all the irresponsible owners should be responsible and not let their dogs breed uncontrolled, but that isn’t happening.

At least killing the pits in shelters is not a law imposed on citizens, only on dogs.
