'The American XL Bully is a clear and lethal danger to our communities, particularly to children'
Home Secretary Suella Braverman is pushing for a ban on American XL bully dogs, arguing they are a "clear and lethal danger" - particularly to children.
Taking to social media, Ms Braverman said: "This is appalling. The American XL Bully is a clear and lethal danger to our communities, particularly to children."We can't go on like this. I have commissioned urgent advice on banning them." There are concerns over the feasibility of such a ban within the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs , which is responsible for the banned breeds list.
There are currently four banned breeds of dog in the UK: the pit bull terrier, Japanese tosa, dogo Argentino and fila Brasileiro. As the American XL bully is not recognised as a specific breed by the Kennel Club, it could be hard to define which means a ban could inadvertently outlaw a range of other dogs.
