It became a criminal offense to own the XL bully breed in England and Wales without an exemption certificate starting February 1. Owners must neuter, microchip, muzzle, and keep them on a lead in public.
Recent fatal attacks in the UK involving XL bully dogs have prompted a ban on the breed. Cases include a 10-year-old killed by 'Beast' leading to a three-year jail term for the owner.
In Hornchurch, East London, a woman in her 50s was fatally attacked by her two XL bully dogs while armed officers safely seized the dogs contained inside a room.
Incidents involving XL bully breed dogs, like in Stonnall where a man died after an attack, have led to stronger regulations to prevent further harm to the public.
