Reverse the ban on XL Bully dogs

We urge the Government to reverse the ban on XL Bully dogs, as we believe the problem is with owners not the dogs themselves. We believe a ban on a dog breed due to some undertrained dogs is wrong and discriminatory.

We are concerned about the impact the ban will have on the entire breed. We believe it is not fair on exempted dogs who have to walk with a muzzle, even when they are calm dogs. I have an XL Bully, and I can’t even get her to bite me if I tried, I put my hand in her mouth, and she just walks away! I believe it is unfair for them & the responsible owners. I think we should make sure all owners are responsible and have trained their dogs correctly.
