More people will be killed unless American Bully XL dogs are banned in the UK, according to experts. The number of deaths from dog attacks in the UK went from 4 in 2021 to 10 in 2022 - most involving the breed. There has also been an 88% increase in hospital attendance with dog-related injuries.
There have been at least two more fatal attacks involving American Bullies this year.
Stan Rawlinson, a dog behaviourist who was an expert witness for the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act, told MailOnline : "We averaged three dog attack deaths a year for the past 25 years... we had 10 last year with up to seven related to the XL Bully. This is only going to get worse.
