Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Since 31 December 2023, it has been against the law to sell, abandon, breed from or give away an XL bully, or have one in public without a lead and muzzle.

She sees herself as a responsible XL bully owner, does not take their leads off in public, and they are currently undergoing muzzle training, though the dogs are finding it difficult to adapt.

Aichaa also said her five-year-old daughter was nervous around the breed, having been bitten by a friend's XL bully, but still had a strong bond with Zaviour.

"Clear guidance has been published on the action that owners need to take - with a transition period running until 31 January 2024, allowing those who wish to keep their dog to apply for an exemption scheme.

"This guidance also sets out strict conditions on XL bully types which must now be met - including that owners cannot sell nor exchange their dogs from this date."

The breed joins the American pit bull terrier, the Japanese tosa, the Dogo Argentinos and the Fila Brazileiro on the banned list.
