AGAIN - in Coventry yesterday:

Two people have been injured in a dog attack thought by police to have involved "an American bully XL-type breed".

It happened on Purcell Road in Coventry on Thursday afternoon.

Officers Tasered the animal before placing it in a wheelie bin "to ensure the public's safety", West Midlands Police said.

A man and woman were taken to hospital with wounds described by the force as serious but not life-threatening.

A decision was taken by the owner of the dog to have it destroyed, police said.

It's getting beyond ridiculous,there was a 61 year old lady walking her dog and it was pounced on,thankfully she managed to save it but what a mess she was in,blood everywhere,it's just unacceptable,not just the bully breed but ANY breed being off lead in a public place 

[Taz2]

I agree. The important part of your post is 'not just the bully breed'

Under the UK Gun Laws and Dangerous Dogs Act anywhere is a 'public place'.  Any breed can get 'funny' for no apparent reason.    . No one is benefitting in these situations.

How are your neighbours Taz?

My dogs are tiny but no way would I let them off lead,even if we are somewhere remote,I've always got that fear a dog off lead will come running round the corner

Well,yet another toddler mauled by a bully XL in London,the dog was out of control but the police managed to track it down,this ban can't come soon enough,although I doubt dog attacks will stop by this "breed" so many ways around the ban

I met an American bulldogX Staffie earlier, under close control.  Aged 18 months he has already had two cataracts removed, lost the sight in the R eye and is nervous when approached.  Should be muzzled then!?!?! ..... colour of a Staffie, looks of a bulldogX.  Vets have seen those owners coming 

I was scanning through various dog rehoming sites on Sunday, came across a very charming BullyXL which was soon rehomed  .  Pretty face, not too jowly, sense of humour  on the photo.  I expect that the rehoming centre couldn't get rid of her quickly enough!

There was also a young bully advertised and it said " nervous around children,so adult home only" whaaaaaaaaaattt??!!

[CLKD]

This is why the Government should employ a specific person in each county who will be charged to visit PetsRUs-type stores that advertise ...... and remove cards, so that the Police and Dog wardens can follow up though I suppose that would push people underground so that dogs are given away in pubs again 

[jaypo]

Yep,for sure,all my junkies ( you know what I mean) had staffies and would breed them,then sell them down the pub for money for their drugs,probably still goes on tbh 

[CLKD]

Yep.  That isn't to say that the dogs weren't loved, but drugs will over rule everything else!

[jaypo]

That's another man killed by what's believed to be a bully   

[Songbird]

Oh no! Not another one! How long is this going to be allowed to continue! 

[jaypo]

It's just terrifying,apparently he was a very skinny man and had no chance of getting the dog off,neck wounds apparently but the owner is being charged with murder,so I'm not sure if he told the dog to go for him or what

[CLKD]

I believe that the dogs were 'set on' this particular person.  One was shot at the scene.
