    No thanks. I choose neither.

  2. Good. Throw the book at these people.

    * Own a dangerous dog
    * Train it to be even more aggressive
    * Do shocked pikachu when it eats the neighbours’ kids
    * Blame everyone else

    Ban new sales on the breed, licence anyone who still has one and mandatory jail sentences for the owners when it inevitably goes batshit

  3. How about just an outright ban and immediate destruction for not adhering to the conditions of owning one, whilst amending the law to include this kind of dog killing someone being considered culpable homicide for the owner?

  4. I’m sure no one saw this coming from checks notes….. Titan

  5. All XL bullies should be forcibly euthanised immediately.

  6. > The owner of an XL Bully dog has pleaded guilty to charges after his dog fatally attacked a neighbour in Sunderland in October 2023. Christopher Bell, 45, admitted at Newcastle Crown Court to owning a dangerously out-of-control dog that caused the death of Ian Langley, 54. The attack occurred when Bell’s dog, Titan, lunged at Langley’s throat as he tried to protect his puppy. Langley later died from his injuries, and Titan was shot by police at the scene. Another XL Bully was also seized for public safety. Bell will be sentenced in January 2025 and faces potential jail time. The tragic incident highlighted the dangers of failing to control dogs and occurred before the breed’s ban came into effect in January 2024. Local residents and Langley’s friends described him as kind and helpful, and tributes were left at the scene.

  7. One thing about this breed, if their owner instructs or indicates to them to attack they will attack for certain. The owner is 100% at fault here.

  8. I am so sick of reading about poor folk doing absolutely nothing only to be taken out by one of these psycho dogs. People who own them are utter bellends; one day, the dogs *will* turn because they’re bred to be volatile and aggressive. I’m also sad that ‘Titan’ <sighs> didn’t take out his owner instead.

  9. Not a fucking shred of remorse on the owners smug fucking face in the photo of him outside court. Makes me so angry, irresponsible stupid prick trying to look hard and some poor guy ends up with his throat torn out trying to protect his puppy. Euthanise every one of these things tomorrow, enough is enough.
