American XL bully dogs are a danger to communities and will be banned, Rishi Sunak has vowed, after a man was mauled to death.
Announcing the move, the Prime Minister said he “shared the nation’s horror” at such attacks and they could not be allowed to continue.
Mr Sunak was responding to the latest incident in which a man died after being savaged by two dogs outside a property in Stonnall, Staffordshire, on Thursday afternoon.

It’s the owners! If your dog attacks somebody 10 years minimum these dogs are like having guns
There pitbulls there’s no such breed as xxl bullies
There's no rise in these attacks. It's just that one happens, and then the news finds other ones to report on. Just like if a plane crashes. That week or months, there are more reports than usual.
All dogs should be banned and culled. Their mere existence is a plague to society, to the environment and to our ecosystem. Get rid of all of them.
I dont get it this is some sort of distraction, where are the owners of the dogs then? What do they have to say ?
Just import a 100 Akitas and start a new K9 force
Owners have got to realize they are not Sigfried & Roy!

Man slaughter what a joke.
He died and your going to give him 10y max so pathetic. I hope for a real conviction for the family this is barbaric
all these dogs should be put down
Finally!
These dogs unfortunately attract the wrong dog owner. Along with staffys. In right hands they can be brilliant but these are a chav status symbol and just too powerful
This will always be on the owner and rarely on the breed. XL Bully’s are bred to be fighters and “gangster” wannabes that get them don’t properly train them.
Get rid of these dogs even if there mix breed
That man was screaming at the people who were there when he got attacked get me f**** knife and not one of the idiots got one, trying to hit a dogs with a plastic spade for god sake,why on earth could not of the 5 or 6 locals who live in same street just get him a knife to stab the dogs or even so one of them stab them.
Or same sentence for owner as using deadly weapon and felony charges
With all the dog breeds available for people, why the insistence on keeping these ones existing is beyond me.
It’s the owners not the dogs
Dogs/ animals doing strange things in the apocalypse is nothing new… its just the sign if the times… whenever the Phoenix (vatican) blows itself up, animals act strange
Sick of dog attacks owners are not responsible
Ban on every vishus dog breeds except for little chuwawas
Allow people to carry knives and guns and this wouldn't be an issue.
No the answer is always more bans and government.
Disgusting, may God punish those responsible.
Will he ban people of a certain ethnic background? Due to increasing attacks?
Every man with an xl bully has an xs penis
Only good pitbull is a dead one.
Banning the breed is like putting a sticking plaster over an arterial bleed. I’m not saying it’s necessarily the wrong thing to do but the problem runs much deeper. I’m not sure what the answer is here. Dogs are being taken on by people who buy a dog based on looks and do little to no research on the breed, what it was originally bred to do and how to manage those instinctive behaviours and are too lazy to put the work in to training and socialising them well. These are huge powerful dogs and this is the consequence.
Welcome to medieval Britain still living with animals. What a disgusting race of people.
Nobody is taking me bully. That's the truth. My bully is me mate for years. He never harmed nobody. He's staying right here with me
them dogs looks like devil dogs too me
Why doesn't he ban immigrants in all these lovely hotels and everyone else is struggling to get bye
It’s the owners and not the dogs banning the dogs isn’t going to do anything , people will just move onto another breed . The owners need to be held accountable
