      Many thanks. I wish I was surprised. The XL ban was announced before the breed involved in this incident was announced.

      That’ll solve things!

      Wonder what the scumbag breeders are going to name the next iteration of “definitely not a Pitbull!” breeds.

  Dogs don’t do that “for fun”, there must be more behind this story.

    Nothing more to it. A type of dog bred for fighting mauled a man to death. And now this specific breed has been announced as being banned entirely by the end of the year. Good.

    You don’t think an animal that has been selectively bred for generations to be the most aggressive they can can be trained to resist their most basic urges? No they will snap eventually. It might not be a death or dismemberment but they might bite.

    What more could there possibly be? And what makes you think a dog wouldn’t kill something for fun? Have you ever even owned a dog?

    They’re bred for fighting

    An irresponsible dog owner who uses their dogs as a threat and a weapon? A police force which only issued a caution the last time this nearly happened?

    It really depends on the dog and their owner(s), really. Some dogs can be extremely aggressive and violent, if they’ve been kept as fighting dogs for example

      Dogs also feed off of the emotions of their owners. If the owner is all tense or aggressive, the dog will be on alert and prone to attack other dogs and people

    I’m guessing you’ve never heard of a little thing called the prey drive?

  This is the best summary I could come up with:

  ---

  The attack happened outside Main Street, Stonnall, near Walsall, on Thursday afternoon, police said.

  The victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and was confirmed dead, emergency services said.

  A West Midlands ambulance service (WMAS) spokesman said: "Upon arrival we found a man who had sustained multiple life-threatening injuries and was in a critical condition.

  Meanwhile, children at nearby St Peter’s Primary Academy were stopped from leaving for “safety reasons”.

  The girl and two men were set upon by an American bully XL outside shops in Bordesley Green on 9 September.

  While the breeds of the two dogs who killed the man in Stonnall is currently not known, Home Secretary Suella Braverman has called for the American bully XL to be outlawed.
