You shouldn’t have to worry about these beasts jumping into your garden and mauling and killing your pets!
The reason why cats don’t have as much protection as dogs is because they free roam (although shitbull owners seem to always let these monsters free roam) if someone’s cat goes onto someones property and gets killed by a dog on that property you cannot demand or expect the dog be BE as the cat went onto someone else’s property and this is the risk of free roaming cats.
Dogs have prey drives just like cats do, so not sure how a change in law can deal with that issue of free roaming cats.
However, this case is different. Dog should be put down and owner fined and jailed for allowing their dangerous dog off lead and to allow it to go onto someone else’s property and murder their cat.
This is absolutely terrible, especially as the cat was in their own garden.
I hope this woman’s petition is successful and cats get more protections. That being said I think we need to put an end to cats free roaming. In this day and age (in the uk) we wouldn’t just let any other pet out to dart across roads and kill wild animals etc.
Yes cats should get more protections but they should come with a more robust set of rules too.
Always does seem callous and stupid that whenever this would happen, the reaction is that the cat’s (or other small dog) life doesn’t matter and that people should get over it, but god forbid that the savage dog that did it should be kept inside, muzzled, or on a leash. That can’t be done, animal welfare matters! (Except the one that hilariously got savagely ripped to pieces).
We keep our cat indoors, not least because of fleas, but the idea that certain dog owners have that everyone else should treat their dog as a bloodthirsty monster, as long of course as you don’t ostracise it like any rational person would, or it’s your fault whenever it mauls someone or something is disgusting.
Dogs actions should be treated as if they were perpetrated by the owner themselves, as you’re taking the responsibility on.
Even outside the scope of bull terrier ownership, there are a lot of dog owners who think it perfectly justifiable to treat cats as some form of lesser life form deserving of being killed by dogs.
Oh that sweet baby did not deserve to die like that in her own garden 🙁
When are the owners supposed to be muzzling them? Cue owners going ‘show me where it says that it’s law? Yeah but that’s just guidance’
Feel at this point all XL Bullies should just be destroyed.
I’ve already seen one without a muzzle. Tbf the man had it under control but it did want to go for my terrier 😒
The people who own these dogs are universally knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, pig ignorant, thick as shit scum – the ban wasn’t enough; every single XL Bully should be culled because not a single one of the morons who brought one posses the mental capacity to control them

This is the link to the petition (campaigning to improve legal protection for cats) if anyone wants to sign it https://www.change.org/p/strengthen-legal-protections-for-cats-in-uk-law?recruiter=1179678235&fbclid=IwAR3d79G2GweYQIsrSt78xOUU2KBJC9eQtOO_QrARq1LQqnMqVOEnU54lmg0
