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.

    Since when should you be able to buy a dog as a defensive weapon?

    Dogs raised as violent tools are explicitly the source of this problem.

        You don’t need to abuse a dog in to mauling people’s faces in order for it to act as a deterrent. Nor, again, should a dog be a burglar alarm first and foremost.
