Experts and critics fear government plans to ban XL Bully dogs do not go far enough as they will not be culled and existing owners will be able to keep their pets but with new measures in place
Ferocious XL Bully dogs will not be culled despite being banned after a series of fatal attacks.
Instead owners will be allowed to keep registered dogs if they have them neutered and muzzle them in public. But some experts fear the measures do not go far enough. Last week Ian Price, 52, was mauled to death by two dogs in Stonnall, Staffs.
The next day, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the XL Bully would be banned before next year. Chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss said there will be an amnesty for owners if they comply with the new rules, including taking out insurance.
