There will be an “amnesty” ahead of a total ban on American XL bullies, the government’s chief veterinary officer has said, confirming there would be no cull of the dogs.
Rishi Sunak announced on Friday that his government would define the XL bully as a breed with the aim of banning them by the end of the year after a father-of-two was mauled to death by two of the dogs while reportedly trying to protect his elderly mother.
