Yes, I think they should be banned until you can get a handle on it.
00:05
Yes, I do.
00:06
I mean, I don't think the breed needs to be banned.
00:09
I think what needs to be banned is how people are using the dogs themselves
00:12
because I find that a lot of people have the XL bullies,
00:15
use them as like almost weapons when they're not exactly like that.
00:18
Dogs aren't weapons.
00:21
I think that generally we need to look at the way that we treat animals
00:26
as a whole anyway,
00:27
and I think that this is just kind of a discussion that we need to have
00:32
that might enter into something that is a bit, you know,
00:35
surrounding the wider topic of animal welfare and maybe the meat industry as well.
00:41
But I think for sure we shouldn't be blaming the animals.
00:46
Should XL bully dogs be banned?
00:50
Well, it's down to the owners, isn't it?
00:54
If you have responsible owners, then I think the dogs are okay.
01:00
I don't agree with the ban on XL bullies.
01:04
Again, with the XL bullies, I think it's really genetic testing
01:10
on the actual bullies themselves
01:12
and maybe take out the gene that makes them aggressive.
01:16
Overall, I think yes.
01:18
I know there's a place for people who have them as pets,
01:21
but really, if they have such bad press, I think they should be banned.
01:26
We are dog lovers.
01:28
We are absolute dog lovers.
01:30
I don't know, I'm probably wrong,
01:33
but I tend to think a dog is what you make it, you know,
01:37
and just a blanket ban just doesn't seem right.
01:41
No, it's down to the people that have the dogs.
01:43
It's not the dog's fault.
01:45
They are a nice breed, but they shouldn't be banned.
01:49
Yes, I think there should be a ban on them because they're big, strong dogs.
01:54
But they're not all bad.
01:56
I don't think they're all bad.
01:58
I think it's the owners that make them bad.
02:01
I think... I don't think it's right that XL bully dogs are being banned.
02:05
I think that obviously a lot of the sort of press around them is very negative,
02:09
but I think it ultimately comes down to ownership
02:11
and how people are treating and training those dogs.
02:15
I don't think they should have been banned.
02:17
I love the dogs, even though there has been some complications with them,
02:20
but I don't think every dog should be punished
02:22
for something that maybe a few have had incidents about.
02:26
I think that bully XL dogs should be banned,
02:29
but I don't think they should be put down.
02:32
I think they should find a way of letting them live,
02:35
but I don't think they should be with families and things like that.
02:38
I think they're just too dangerous.
02:40
Well, like I keep saying to people, it's down to the owners
02:43
and how they bring their dogs up.
02:47
Is it right that XL bully dogs are being banned?
02:50
Yes, I think it is right that they're banned, yes,
02:52
because of the danger they cause.
02:54
Is it right that XL bully dogs are being banned?
02:58
See, for me, for dogs, I think it's the person that's bringing the dog up.
03:02
It's not the dog, it's the owner.
