LONDON — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday described American XL Bully dogs as a "danger to our communities" and announced plans to ban the breed following a public outcry after a series of recent attacks.
Sunak said he has asked government ministers to bring together police and canine experts to legally define the characteristics of the American XL Bully, which is not recognized as a breed by groups such as the Kennel Club in Britain or the American Kennel Club in the United States.Sunak said in a video statement posted to X
, formerly known as Twitter. "We will then ban the breed under the Dangerous Dogs Act and new laws will be in place by the end of the year.'' The government has been under pressure to take action after an 11-year-old girl was attacked and seriously injured by an American XL Bully on Saturday in Birmingham, England. Those concerns deepened on Thursday after a man was killed in an attack that may have involved this type of dog.
"The American XL Bully dog is a danger to our communities, particularly our children,'' Sunak said. "I share the nation's horror at the recent videos we've all seen.''I've ordered urgent work to define and ban this breed so we can end these violent attacks and keep people safe.
