Devastated American XL bully owner worries for his dog’s life after Rishi Sunak’s breed ban

An American XL bully dog owner is worried for his pet’s life and says he is devastated by Rishi Sunak’s announcement to ban the breed.

The Prime Minister labelled the breed a “danger to communities” in a pre-recorded message on Friday, stating new laws will be in place by the end of the year to ban the animal.

Animal Behaviourist, Jordan Shelley said: “I am obviously devastated.

“Where there are issues it is always around irresponsible ownership and often bad breeding as well. I don’t believe these dogs are any more dangerous than any other large dog.”
