The article discusses the concerns raised by an animal welfare shelter regarding the UK government's ban on XL Bully dogs set to begin February 1. The shelter warns that rather than suppressing dog fighting, the ban may lead 'shady characters' to breed and train these dogs illegally, thus driving these activities underground and making them more difficult to regulate. This situation poses significant risks to both animal welfare and public safety, as illicit operations may thrive unchecked.
A spokesperson from the animal welfare shelter highlighted that the proposed ban on XL Bully dogs will not deter those engaging in illegal dog fighting activities, as individuals with malicious intent will likely continue to breed and train these dogs in secret.
The shelter argues that the new regulations could inadvertently push breeders and trainers underground, away from oversight and into the hands of 'shady characters' who exploit the situation for illegal dog fighting.
