The home secretary is seeking "urgent advice" about banning American XL Bully dogs as footage shows one of the animals attacking an 11-year-old girl and a man in Birmingham. Suella Braverman has said the animals are a "clear and lethal" danger after the video of the attack in Bordesley Green emerged on the social media platform TikTok. West Midlands Police are investigating after two men, who were bitten and left with injuries to their shoulders and arms, were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries after the incident on Saturday.
Dogs, when involved in killings, are identified by FIRST RESPONDERS or POLICE OFFICERS, not by anyone with ANY KNOWLEDGE OF DOG BREEDS OR HUSBANDRY
We DO NOT HAVE AN ACCURATE COUNT on which breeds commit the most violence because THE PEOPLE REPORTING THE BREEDS OFTEN DO NOT HAVE QUALIFICATIONS TO DETERMINE BREEDS
Generic Street Dogs and any medium sized mutt CAN BE and ARE MISIDENTIFIED AS PITBULLS. Unless first responders, the police, and other people recording dog violence learn how to actually identify dog breeds, INNOCENT DOGS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WILL BE GENOCIDED FOR NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON

Alot of those dogs have pitbull in them.
Considering before the 70’s the American Pitbull was “the American Dog”, it is the most populous single breed in the entire country, consisting of more than DOUBLE the second most common breed
That is completely untrue
Yeah, you’re a liar.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26403955/ https://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/visual-breed-identification/ It only takes a 2 second google search to find that visual identification of breed by people who EVEN WORK WITH DOGS is often incorrect, which is also to say people who DON’T work with dogs will have a poorer time correctly identifying breed by appearance alone
Lol, that’s breed identification. Most people don’t know most breeds. A lot of people who work with dogs don’t know all breeds.
Everyone can identify pitbull or pitbull mix vs not.
*Lack of consistency among shelter staff indicated that visual identification of pit bull-type dogs was unreliable. *
I mean if you’re not gonna click the links at least say so
What a weird thing to come out with. Someone has suffered a terrible injury and you’re concerned with a bloody DNA test.
Wanting to exterminate an entire breed of dogs is the harder solution than actually figuring out the cause of the attacks
