A senior Tory MP is calling on the Government to urgently ban a breed of dog, after a man was mauled to death last month.
Jonathan Hogg, 37, suffered fatal injuries when he was attacked by the animal at a property in Leigh on Thursday, May 18. MP Sir John Hayes said there was “no debate” needed that the American Bully XL must be banned, following a spate of attacks involving the breed in recent years.
The American Bully XL is closely related to the banned Pit Bull Terrier breed, but is not subject to any legal restrictions itself.
