Licencing is the way. For breeding at the very least, and actually for all breeds imo. Ownership and breeding licencing for at least bigger, more powerful breeds would be far more effective than any ban has ever been.
The XL Bully was never bred for fighting. in fact, every effort was made to breed the prey drive out and for it to be a gentle giant, which the vast majority still are today. Lockdown did this breed and some others absolutely no favours. Every knobhead scally and their mates trying to make a quick £10k, with little or no care taken to preserve the temperament of the breed.
Licenses weren't policed well enough when they tried it before and that's where the government need to direct efforts and resources. But alas, the Tories (and media) will always try and push for the action that is cheapest and most dramatic, whilst banning breeds as NEVER solved the problem of people breeding and owning dogs with little or no intention or ability to train any dog properly.
Ban the XL Bully and arseholes who want a "hard" dog will just move on to the Cane Corso or Presa Canario or whatever other dog that's capable of easily killing people.

Totally agree, breeders need more stricter regulations . Far too many dogs being bred regardless of breed.

It's noticeable too how many novices brought dogs during lockdown. Poorly trained and occupied dogs = bad behaviour.

There's tons being handed into rescues too.

Some may or may not have a vape habit and a burner phone.
 

It's odd that a Tory Home Secretary is suggesting banning these dogs. I'd have thought that Tories would be in favour of lifting all restrictions and letting dog owners do what they jolly well please. The occasional case of people getting maimed is just collateral damage.

indeed, just like any person has the capability to slot someone, we're all animals. We are conditioned not to slot each other (generally) and most dogs are too, to varying degrees. The problem comes when there are breeds that are around with naturally more aggressive tendencies that aren't conditioned very well to societal life, tag in an 'owner/keeper' with fewer brain cells than the dog, and thats where we have these problems.
