Stop the XL bully ban
Restrict the ownership of XL bullies, not ban them.
Why is this important?
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about banning XL bullies in Ireland. I’m creating this petition to stop this ban. XL bully attacks in Ireland are minimal compared to those of German Shepherds, Rottweilers etc, however these breeds aren’t banned, only restricted. The government is jumping to the extremes of a ban instead of doing what they should be doing which is restricting ownership. While I’m aware that XL bullies are large dogs with a lot of strength, in the right hands they are amazing dogs. The breed in general is not prone to any form of aggression unlike breeds such as the American Pitbull terrier. I want this petition to help people realise we need to restrict ownership, not ban the whole breed.
