Comment on American bully XL dogs to be banned by end of year - Sunak

  My point was that all dogs are dangerous. Selecting breeds shows total lack of understanding. It is how the dog is reared that causes the issues. Since you cannot evaluate that by looking at a dog then it makes more sense to add a safety device for all dogs.

      Dachshunds can be nasty little assholes.

    “how it was reared”

    You lost me there. These are breeds with an inherent nature to kill and maim. They’re freaks, mutants, and now thankfully to be banned.

      The breed is only a small part of the issue. I have already shown studies that state this in another reply.

    all dogs are dangerous

    Okay, how many deaths are there due to Chihuahua?

      Which is why I said above a certain weight.

    All large dogs are POTENTIALLY dangerous.

    Some breeds are EXCEPTIONAL at violence once they are triggered to do so.

    Training can reduce triggers (to zero?)

    A poodle or golden retriever can absolutely hurt and kill, but it would be anomalous beyond expectation that a golden would continue to attack and even feed on a human.

    Other breeds, once triggered, enter a state where they disengage from reason, latch, hold and tear. Depending on conditions they will even feed.
