Government Petition receives huge response:

Over half a million people have now signed a Government Petition, the Government have yet to give a written response and all petitions which exceed 100,000 signatures are considered for parliamentary debate - a response is due.

The Petition can be viewed and signed here.




The text reads as below:

Bad owners are to blame not the breed - don't ban the XL bully.
I believe that the XL bully is a kind, beautiful natured breed that loves children and people in general, and are very loyal and loving pets.
An XL bully is a "Heinz 57", a mixture of different breeds, so if you ban them then this will have implications for cross breeds of dog because nobody can be sure on the breed specifics. They are all different sizes and shapes. Just because a dog is big and muscular doesn't mean it can be labelled an XL bully, it is unfair to do this.

It is also a well-known fact that how a dog acts is a reflection of the owner's actions. Bad owners should be punished, not the breed of dog – hold bad owners accountable.
