“You Tell Me Where Is The Media Frenzy!” | Vanessa Feltz’s FURIOUS Clash Over XL Bully Dog Ban

American XL bully dogs will be banned by the end of the year following a series of attacks, Rishi Sunak has said.
The Prime Minister made the promise after it emerged a man has died after being attacked by two dogs - suspected to be bully XLs - in Staffordshire and following a video of another incident that went viral when an 11-year-old girl suffered serious injuries in Birmingham.
Mr Sunak said: “I share the nation’s horror at the recent videos we’ve all seen. Yesterday we saw another suspected XL bully dog attack, which has tragically led to a fatality.
“It is clear this is not about a handful of badly trained dogs, it’s a pattern of behaviour and it cannot go on.”
TalkTV’s Vanessa Feltz clashes with animal behaviourist Jo Rosie over whether there has been a 'media frenzy' over American XL bully dogs.
Jo: “This is a knee jerk reaction to a media frenzy yet again!”
Vanessa: “What we are reporting today is a 52 year old man who has been killed by a dog! You tell me where there is a media frenzy.”

[@clairewheeler2937]

​@@sammarshall8402 really? Even though none of my dogs have ever attacked anyone in over 22 years. I've taken in fosters that had been starved and abused ( but were still good loving dogs). And they lived out their lives as good canine citizens. I had a 10 stone American bulldog save my son in a house fire. A few years back I had a confrontation with a 16 year old female ( I am 50) whereby she repeatedly punched me in the head. My American bulldog cross precious stood by my side as the girl punched and punched. She didn't attack because she wouldn't know how to. She was so incredibly soft that biting a child just wasn't in her scope of experience so she just froze. You seem to be forgetting that millions of bullbreeds go about their lives everyday being sweet creatures. So you would like me to take responsibility for other thugs behaviours even though I do not know them. My dogs are bad because bad people exist. Get your head out of your backside. What about all the bullbreeds abused and beaten. If they were such a viscious breed they would just kill anyone attacking them but most will roll over on their belly rather than defend themselves. Many breeds of dogs have been involved in fatal attacks from large to small. More powerful dogs will of course make up the most fatal statistics and the thugs dog of choice will suffer cruel and harsh conditions that will predispose it to being aggressive and out of control. But millions of decent people worldwide who have experienced the love and loyalty of a bullbreed will pay testament to what wonderful souls they are.

[@chrismann5070]

Agree 100pc

[@apse2645]

I don't think that is the only difference. We don't see other large breed dogs killing so many people. Of course most deaths will be caused by large or powerful dogs because it's hard for a smaller dog to do that much damage, even in the same sort of "attack". However the "missing link" isn't "the breed" but what they are being bred for. They are bred for size and colour, mostly, and not for their health and temperament. I believe in Belyaev's fox experiment it took about 5 generations to go from "wild" foxes to quite sociable friendly ones - they selected for a sociable temperament. It follows the inverse is just as possible. So take a GSD or cane corso and either select for fearfulness of people (already a genetic propensity somewhat anyway) or aggressive behaviours, and within a few generations you'll have a similar issue. Or maybe don't even breed "for it" but just don't worry about it, oh well if it's a bit aggressive nevermind it's a nice colour! So get rid of the XL bully. Now what? People will just breed a different dog. If they do it as intensively and they end up in the same inappropriate homes it'll be the same story. The little dogs where this happens (eg frenchies and all the "poos" from puppy farms) usually suffer themselves either through their health or neurosis, cockapoos for example are renowned for resource guarding and biting. But they don't kill people so for society the cost isn't so high. But I don't believe XL bully breeders or owners will decide to get chihuahuas or cavapoos next.

[@Purplelemon5033]

Agree love dogs and often find the smaller breeds can be quite snappy. chihuahuas can be neurotic little ankle biters. I love cockers but find the ginger ones(don’t know why) can be a bit bitey.

I guarantee she’d be speaking quite differently on the matter if she had been attacked and had to try defend herself against one of these dogs or had to watch her child die in front of her like the poor woman yesterday. Also she really has no idea about dogs if she is comparing the risks posed by XL bullies to that of huskies and German shepherds. XL bullies are far bigger, stronger and more aggressive. This, coupled with their incredible tolerance for pain makes them near impossible to stop. This breed along with some of the large mastiffs like the Cane Corso and Presa Canario are totally unsuitable for suburban living, as are many the livestock guardians like the Kangal. The dangerous dog act must be revised to encompass more of these breeds. And in the meantime a muzzle law needs to be put into immediate effect to ensure the safety of our communities.

One correction. The German Shepherd, despite being more intelligent, and disciplined, does have a much more effective bite force than an XL Bully. Just because it doesn't use it as much, doesn't mean it isn't there. Just hope there's a German Shepherd about if you're attacked by one of these, because they will come to your aid, and secondly they will win the fight with their intelligence. 😅

[@LycaonLeaders]

And what Jo was saying in this interview would do more to address the problem of lads using them like weapons than banning the breed. If you ban the breed you simply get another variation. If you impose licenses for people owning a certain size of dog then you're able to enforce that a lot more. Of course there's a severe lack of dog wardens and police around so whichever way you go it's not really going to have too much of an affect sadly.

[@batintheattic7293]

Yes, Huskies can be very dangerous dogs. Not a great comparison, really. The thing about the Husky is that it's an ancient breed, been around (and in the UK) for a long time. Death toll, by Huskies, lingering around the 'low' range. XL Bullies are a new concoction. Haven't been here for that long. Death toll already shocking. Just because there is one breed head and shoulders above the rest in it's per capita human toll - it doesn't mean all the rest are angels. There is an absolute when it comes to something so stand out lethal. Below that - there is a quantifiable range. We should be wary of allowing demonisation of one breed to lead to automatic evangelising of all the others.

[@zarasaffy6024]

Huskies are just as dangerous but they aren’t in fashion with the criminal element that have latched onto the XLs. Huskies or GSDs will be the next breed to be crossed once the XL is banned. They are already on SM breeding big dogs like Great Danes with huskies to make dogs that look like wolves. 2 years that’ll be the next dog bite problem.

All dogs, throughout history have had a job of work to do for the humans. Hunting, retrieving . . . you get the picture. How would you stop a Spaniel chasing birds? How would you stop a Border Collie rounding up everything (in the absence of sheep)? How would you stop a GSD from watching over his family and alerting to an intruder? How would you stop a Greyhound running at 40mph and chasing everything that moves? How would you stop a Jack Russell Terrier killing a rat? You can't - it's inbuilt ! They ALL have been specially bred to enhance these traits - for a job of work for their humans! WE have made the blue-prints by selectively breeding dogs with the traits we want.. . . . . . . . THEN . . . . . . we have the Bully breeds. These dogs' ancestors were bred over centuries solely for blood sports - human entertainment! Inbred over and over to accentuate and concentrate the fighting/killing traits. That's what they were bred to do - that's their 'job of work'. As such, they have NO place as a pet animal, in any home anywhere in the world.

Dear XL owners: YOU will legally have to muzzle your XL's, (look into getting your pet used to wearing one on walks, your dog will have to wear it for the rest of its life whilst in public) pay insurance and neuter and chip them. There wont be a mass cull of non aggressive family pets, however if your not muzzling it in public police see it, it could be seized and if it's designated a banned type it will have to be kept in a kennel without owner vists for up to a year or until tested for aggression and classed as banned but exempt if deemed not aggressive (going on what happens to banned pit type dogs over past 30 years) maybe longer if there is a lot of seized dogs. Obviously a real concern to owners of XL's who are loving family non aggressive pets. If your NOT letting them off to run riot in the park or hassle other dogs, its NOT dragging you down the road and scaring kids then unless police get a call about your dog then you probably wont be 'targeted' by police however that depends on the constable that see's you or that nosey neighbour doesnt like the look of your dog. The adding of XL's to Dangerous Dogs Act will effect legal American Bully Owners, legal Standard Bullies, Classic Bullys, American Bulldogs, Cane Corso's and probably certain mastiffs and staffy crosses, not because they are now banned but because legally they are very difficult to tell apart from XL's police will simply have to follow a flowchart to determine the breed, Police constables arent experts and will no doubt seize wrong dogs.

[@Heuristic09]

The majority of XL bullies are safe and not a danger to the public. However a percentage of XL bullies have American game-bred pitbull dog fighting lines bred into them and this does make those particular dogs more dangerous in the wrong hands. Unfortunately the XL bully has become abit of a status dog in the UK, which may have increased demand for a more "aggressive XL bully." Therefore, increasing the percentage of XL bullies coming from US game-bred pitbulls. A game bred pitbull is an intense working dog used for dog sports in America. In the wrong hands, it is a loaded gun. If these genetic lines are spilling over into ordinary homes in the UK then there is no wonder the UK is seeing so many XL bully attacks. Tighter breeding restrictions are needed and breeders need to start taking serious responsibility for the type of dogs they are breeding. An XL bully bred from game-bred pitbull lines should be going to experienced working/sporting homes only, not your average dog owner. We need stricter breeding and ownership regulations to restrict who can breed and own big powerful dogs. I'm all for dog ownership licences

An off-lead dog with no recall ran up to us, mine has never bitten, can play nicely or be neutral with dogs she knows, she was obviously continuing to bark/pull at the dog that was running up to us as she didn't know them, yet I was the one accused of having an aggressive out of control dog, told I shouldn't leave the house with her, they shouldn't have to worry about their dog running up to mine etc. Would that be reported against me?

Yes some German Shepherds do occasionally bite, any breed of dog is capable of biting a human, but most dogs apart from the Bully breeds don't tend to go for the throat face and head. Police dogs are trained to apprehend a criminal by grabbing the arm, and holding the person until the police officer tells the dog to release. The XL bites follows the trait of the Pitbull which bite, hold and continue to bite and tear the flesh often down to the bone. Tearing the face of the person is exactly what a Pitbull type of breed does, you have to just watch a RSPCA video on the investigation of fighting ring gangs and you will see exactly what I mean about the damage these dogs do to each other in a fight. Often 1 dog is killed in the fight, or injured so severe that the owner kills the dog himself.

What they are calling XL bullys are cross breeds at best or completely inbred mongrels at worst. How are they supposed to ban the XL Bully when its not even a breed. I think that if your dog attacks anyone, then you should go to prison. No deferred sentence, just a 3 year prison term. That would deter many people from getting a dog they can't handle. As it stands now, those criminals that have these dogs for fighting dont care if their dog is seized they just get another one because they don't give a damn about the dog.

Go Jo ❤ I feel her frustration. Must be so hard to listesn to repetitive, monotone lines thickened with virtue, lacking knowledge. The lady speaks very well educated on the issue. There should be a licence system already in place for all dogs. Cap breeding and do assessments on owners to weed out the bad. We can't kill tens of thousands of dogs, because of a criminal minority. Any dog that kills a person, it should be manslaughter or murder charge. Throw the book at them doing wrong and leave innocent dogs alone.

The rudeness of this presenter is appaling. Banning breed wont change anything, it wil just make it be more back yard bred, and more hideous concoctions will get put of that. Breeding and dog owning has to be regulated by law, not breeds being banned...

[@loobyt8692]

I’m with Vanessa, the pit bull and derivatives of this breed are definitely not pets and should be banned.

[@pduffy421]

Stupid reckless woman defending the indefensible. All dogs must be on a lead and all owners must have insurance and for large dogs a license should also be required. XL Bullies must be banned and anything like them.

[@Ginge1164]

When did she say they shouldn’t be on a lead? Also, you can’t get insurance for an XL Bully and she just listed a whole heap of things people should need when buying any type of large dog. One of them things was a license. I’m guessing you know nothing about dogs because everything she said was true! Breeding and costs are a big problem, banning Pitts didn’t stop anything because there’s loads of Pitt Bulls about, interbreeding is a big problem with loads of different breeds and it’s known to impact their brain. Saying “Stupid Reckless Woman” but then going on to agree with some of what she said sounds stupid. Banning them solve anything unfortunately

Shame The Government can’t react so quickly to banning the boats crossing The Channel which pose a far greater safety risk

I believe all dogs should wear a muzzle. This from an owner who has owned and loved four german shepherds . And now i have a rescued Dutch Herder .
