Banning UK's most dangerous breed makes XL Bullies "worse", says man who rescued over 40+ XL bullies

Phil Gregory has spent thousands and driven 20,000 miles to help rehome over 40 XL bullies.
Receiving at least 20 messages a day, Phil has stopped working to transport Britain’s most dangerous dog breed.

[@pgabrieli]

it is true that "dangerous" breeds do attract a certain type of owner who doesn't get a dog for the love they provide, but as a "symbol", and these people tend to not care much about socializing and training them, or worse they do lean into their aggressive instincts. surely phil here is not one of them, but there is a substantial percentage of owners who should never have such a dog, or any dog for that matter

[@kevlyth1712]

And that’s why BSL makes no sense and we have proof it doesn’t work or we wouldn’t be having to ban another breed. Dog attacks will only ever stop if we change the legislation and start looking at the owners. We let people just been released from prison for all kinds of crimes to go buy any dog they want. A first time dog owner for example should never be allowed to buy a dangerous dog such as a bully or Rottweiler especially as there’s no law to train them or anything at all it’s just a free for all

It's not natural for a dog to attack a baby. Soo ....there must be something unnatural going on.. World's going mad for one reason..

[@louiscypher4186]

@@paraseek5623 Quite the opposite it's perfectly natural for a dog to attack a baby. Feral dogs will absolutely rip a part a baby, its instinct they can't help it. Domesticated dogs raised as pets rarely attack because we socialise them and condition their behavior, We override their natural instincts. But almost all domesticated dog breeds have a "survival trigger" when a dog is triggered it's body is flooded with chemicals that override the dogs socialisation and conditioning and it reacts on instinct. The most common causes of trigger in domesticated dogs is stress or anxiety. Once triggered its very similar to our "flight or fight mode" the dog isn't thinking, its only reacting. There's no way to be 100% sure of what happens once a dog is triggered unless you've had a previous experience with that dog, some dogs will stand and bark, some dogs stand petrified and shake, some will run away and some will attack. But until they come down, until those chemicals start to work their way out of the system the dog cannot control itself. However generally speaking we know certain breeds tend to react in specific ways, in breeds like the bully they are more likely to default to attack. It doesn't mean every bully will attack, but its very likely. This is why most people should not own the bully whether its XL or otherwise because they don't understand dogs. You'll often hear owners after an attack say: "it's not like him, he's not aggressive, he's never attacked anyone" and they are half right, The conditioned behavior of the dog is a nice calm pet. But when a dog is triggered its reverts back to its natural instincts in that moment that dog is for all intents and purposes a feral dog it cannot help itself.

[@weallmakechoices7456]

@louiscypher :: what a fatuous argument. Dogs not subject to selective breeding are cooperative by nature and avoid fights and damage. Bully dogs are bred for extreme prey drive, tenacity, power, resistance to pain and a satisfaction in fighting, battle and adrenaline. They are bred not to show any sign prior to attack to help their success. They are 'game' dogs bred for fighting characteristics. That is why a) they are so hard to read, and b) genetically predisposed to attack and survive. Your argument is nonsensical. I owned 'feral' street dogs not of fighting background and they had absolutely no tendency to violence.

[@shinjite06]

[@billmartins5545]

04:20 that's not a muzzle and will not prevent your dog from being able to bite. You need to get a large enough cage muzzle so the dog can still pant but so nothing can get into his mouth. This "strap" wouldn't considered a muzzle by law enforcement.

[@alien4422]

He literally said that he couldn't guarantee that his dog would not attack someone. I'm very happy that these dogs are being banned as it will save life's and stops people using these dogs as weapons.

[@iainbaker2742]

U missed the point completely. It's one thing to be confident that your dog isn't aggressive, but to deny it could never be aggressive under any circumstances is just absurd. Tbf, I would be far more concerned by owners that were in denial of their animals potential for aggression. They would be far more likely to allow their dogs to be (or get) out of control. If u can guarantee something, there is no need for caution. As someone who has owned many breeds, both large and small, u can never guarantee any animals behaviour, but u can control it. This was the point he was making and it is true of all dogs. Banning breeds hasnt reduced dog attacks. What's needed is compulsory education and licenses before people can get dogs, with insurance obligations and additional training for the larger, more powerful dogs upon ownership. This would encourage responsible ownership, reduce dog attacks and most likely improve animal welfare. Non of this happened after the pitbull ban and this xl bully ban is no different. Dogs, without the right knowledge, or in the wrong hands are potentially dangerous. This is the crux of the problem and its fixable. Banning breeds is all about headlines and making the govt look good. The real solution could have quietly reduced the problem, would have had the backing of the animal charities and vets, and would not mean the death of thousands of healthy dogs

These dogs are the absolute loves, and with decent training they are some of the most suitable for companionship.

It's almost like prohibition is a sticking plaster that fails to address the real issues. Licence breeders. Licence owners.

[@user-ju6ud4go6b]

@@ArodWinterbornSteed - The real issue is that these dogs can turn even on their owners if for whatever reason they feel threatened - with smaller dogs that obviously can be an issue but these dogs are so big & powerful with powerful jaws that lock on. Yes no doubt they can be softies as well but if they have a moody as all animals can then that is the danger.

[@ArodWinterbornSteed]

@@user-ju6ud4go6b Dogs attack when they are scared or when they are trained to do so. In general, the absolute first priority is to teach your dog to look to you for guidance and direction. The advantage of XL Bullies is that they default to this behaviour, and this makes them inherently more safe than other large dogs. What happens when stary eyed lads who want a big dog, despite having little to no experience, decide to get highly independent breeds such as Anatolian Shepherds instead..? - Carnage. Speaking of independence, the absolute scariest dogs I have ever met have all been Jack Russell Terriers and they are more than capable of ripping your face face off, not to mention packs of them. Even if all dogs over 10kg were banned that wouldn't mitigate the risks. The only reasonable solution is to insist that breeders and owners take responsibility.

Then I cuddled my other 4 bullbreeds large and small. This is the same as I have with multiple bullbreeds every single day for over 20 years and I am in my 50's.

[@prometheus23c]

If this video was meant to show us that not all bully XL owners are irresponsible and ignorant, it has failed spectacularly. This man allows a stranger into his home and puts the unmuzzled dog on the sofa next to her. When he does put on a muzzle it is not a cage muzzle, but a very loose soft muzzle. Soft muzzles are meant to keep the dog's mouth closed to the point that they are not able to eat while wearing one. If this dog can eat with the muzzle he is using, then that muzzle is not working properly. The way the dog runs away from the man just as he is about to put the muzzle on him clashes with his statement "I've got full control of him. He would not get anywhere near you". There is this fantasy that responsible bully XL owners are strong enough and have enough authority to control their dogs. You just have to watch the video of the grown man being attacked by a bully XL on a train platform in London in December, to see that these dogs are stronger than human beings, and the owner of the dog did not have the authority to prevent or stop the attack. Yes, it is a tragedy that these dogs are in this situation for no fault of their own, but breeding them was a mistake that we need to undo as soon as possible. And if that sounds harsh, here's a link to the most recent attack by two dogs that killed a woman in Essex.

Gorgeous looking dogs. It's such a shame it's come to this .

[@regularguy2807]

Why would it matter if it makes them worse when there banned?

[@The_Conqueeftador]

Why are these labeled xl? They look like normal pitbull terriers. I've seen XL versions of these dogs but these are not them.

Legislation isn't Law. Legislation can only be ebforced with consent.

[@OptimumServices416]

A ban can happen with any large breed. I love large breeds and have had large breeds my entire life. None of them were vicious or attacked anyone. They were all trained well to listen to my direction. Any dog can get aggressive of provoked, not just large breeds. It all boils down to proper care, exercise, training, and socialization. If people can't do all 4 of these things they shouldn't own ANY dog. The biggest fear of a large breed owner is a small out of control unsocialized small breed. These dogs provoke other dogs until their prey drive goes out of control. Yes we can tell the other owner to control their dog but most don't because they either don't know how or they think it's funny that im afraid of their little dog hurting my dog. I'm afraid of their little dog pushing my dog over the edge and attacking their little dog. The sheer size and strength of my dog will severely injure their dog. I am a dog owner and i love my dogs as does the other owner. Anyone reading this that owns a small breed please control your dog if another owner asks you to. There's definitely a reason and it's not that we're afraid that your little dog will hurt my dog. Train your dog properly.

[@louiscypher4186]

Whilst there's a great deal of merit to your post (for example jack russells bite the most) there's numerous examples of Bully's attacking not only when there's no other dogs around. But actively getting out of their yards to attack people who were no where near the dog. Whilst there's always something that triggers a dog to attack (its not always the prey drive), it is indisputable that bully's are more prone to attack then other dogs whether large or small. Pitbull breeds top the list for attacks across multiple nations. You can't put it down to "it's everyone else's fault" or "it could happen to any breed", Especially when they are rarely the most popular breed of dog. In the UK for example Labradors have been king of the backyard for quite some time they dwarf the number of bully owners yet even after the ban attacks from Bully's are higher then labs.

[@OptimumServices416]

@@louiscypher4186 I agree. You can't control a dog if you're not physically there. It all comes with the territory of owning any dog. We have to ensure that our dogs can never get loose without us there. We must ensure that we are always there to direct. If we can't provide that we don't have any business owning a dog. We have to be fully confident that we are always in full control of our pets.

Also that little pup was very clearly an American bulldog pup. So many dogs not even type will die as a result.

I am considering changing my XL Bully dogs name from Samson to Hannibal Lector with the introduction of the compulsory mask. I am worried when my five year old tries to put the mask on. Can anyone give me advice, as the dog can be unpredictable before going out for walks.

[@acptelford1307]

Get a normal dog

[@S4T4NS___L4WY3R]

You shouldnt even allow your small child to leash up your dog ffs. My dog isnt a bully but shes muzzled and no one cares literally.

[@S4T4NS___L4WY3R]

Also if your dog can be unpredictable keep your child and dog seperate are you that thick?

[@louiscypher4186]

Mate give up the dog. You are not fit to own it. Don't take it as an insult, the vast, vast majority of people should not own a bully.

[@Lassemalten]

0:40 you see what kind of people have these dogs. It's a surtain people(males). Good he saves them hopefully get normal people as owners

[@KateAbercrombie]

You cannot guarantee any dog will not be aggressive regardless of breed. With stereotyped breeds any case of an attack it makes the front page / full page of a newspaper when its a non stereotyped dog , its gets a sentence in a paper . American does not have this problem . In the uk , there is too many people breeding certain dogs for financial gain . You only have to look at any dog rescue , how many regardless of breed are picked up as strays either microchip or details not upto date / never registered. You cannot blame a breed , All this will do is encourage a new breed that can do more harm , and these are the type of breeders who will happily crop the dogs ears ,tails ect and breed purely for financial reasons .

[@carolineridlington5010]

It is the breed...what they were breed for...America does have a problem with them...but they can get a gun out...

[@BonganiMagadu]

😂😅 The logic

[@wanderingrosy6914]

Bless you for your kindness. You must ask these people for expenses they shouldn't be coming out of your own pocket. Irresponsible owners are the problem absolutely, not the dogs, as you rightly say........A lack of training, macho attitudes, and deliberately encouraging viciousness in their dogs....... it's criminal and tragic that once again, the animals are made to suffer for their moronic idiocy! 😰✨

[@lailahepburnandmischka]

this breed shouldn't have been created is was obvious it would end badly. no one needs a dog that big and powerful

[@clairewheeler2937]

As an owner of large bullbreeds for over 2 decades I can honestly say they are superb dogs in the right hands. You can ban all the breeds you want. It won't make the situation better. The first ban 32 years ago resulted in a huge increase in fatalities and a recent fatality with a grandma occurred directly because of the rushed in ban. The man couldn't find homes for the pups so ended up in a predicament with 8 large breed dogs. If the law had not of been rushed in it's unlikely that tragedy would even have occurred.

[@Neil_MALTHUS]

Here's an idea: Instead of banning new breeds after they've eaten a toddler or two... _Why not ban all breeds by default_ until they've been declared child-safe, say? #ZenAndTheArtOfSavingLifeOnEarth

[@GinaFernandezx14]

No dog is “child safe” no child should ever be left unattended with a household pet, not even a cat or a hamster. Only bad parents leave children with animals.

[@craighaldane-gy3mk]

Nothing wrong with the breed just unfortunately the wrong people started buying them for the wrong reasons. The people who will now muzzle and keep them in control aren't problem it's the ones who don't care and put the effort in socialise and training them. I have a 33kg staffie she stands 21" at the haunches and she is the biggest softie I would guarantee my dog would not attack another person dog nor cat. It's all about training. I feel really bad for all the responsible owner's. And the dogs being dumped. What a shame.

[@Event_Horizon14]

These people are delusional. I really don't get the argument that this only happens with the dogs of irresponsible owners. So what if you're a "responsible" owner, if we have no way of policing irresponsble owners. The public should be protected from the possibility of fatal attacks period. Most people never train their dogs properly and they're a menace at the park, but it's one thing to run into a crazed chihuahua and a whole different story to be set upon by an out-of-control bully. I've owned dogs all my life but the public and other dog owners shouldn't have to live in fear of being attacked by dogs bred to be killing machines.

Someone gets electrocuted by a kettle do we ban kettles humans need to take responsibility its the human not the dog

[@kerrybayton2954]

Give Rishi a chance, have you told him about these dangerous boiling hot items?

[@Trav-eller]

If someone gets electrocuted but a kettle, it's likely the model will be recalled. A kettle is not a conscious being with a mind of its own. Strange comparison.

[@lailahepburnandmischka]

a kettle isn't a living thing, it's can't chase someone and attack them

They are like any other dog, treat it with love & kindness, never lose your temper, be patient train it everyday, socialise it but keep it away from idiots & those that want to cause problems for you & him, give it your love, loyalty, &exercise, treat it well, feed it well & you'll both be happy for the 12 years or so, good luck to you both..

[@freakygoblin3068]

Almost all the dog experts are against breed bans as expensive and ineffective. The problem will simply move to another type of dog. Studies such as "Co-occurrence of potentially preventable factors in 256 dog bite-related fatalities in the United States (2000-2009)". Objective: To examine potentially preventable factors in human dog bite-related fatalities (DBRFs) on the basis of data from sources that were more complete, verifiable, and accurate than media reports used in previous studies. Conclusion: Most DBRFs were characterized by coincident, preventable factors; breed was not one of these. Study results supported previous recommendations for multifactorial approaches, instead of single-factor solutions such as breed-specific legislation, for dog bite prevention." Government went for the propaganda policy rather than attempt to tackle the real issues which once again are shoved aside and hidden. After the pitbull ban, dog attacks continued to rise. Breed bans may mean less media sensational stories but they do not protect the public.
