XL Bully ban is disproportionate and too vague, say animal charities
Briefly

The founder of My Lovely Horse Rescue expressed her concerns, sharing heartbreaking accounts of two innocent pitbulls euthanised after being wrongly classified as XL Bullies. This incident highlights the potential dangers of sweeping legal changes without careful consideration.
Animal welfare organisations are taking action against a new law that would criminalize the ownership of XL Bully dogs, arguing it is excessively broad and fails to account for current pet owners who may face harsh penalties.
Critics of the upcoming February 1 ban argue it lacks clarity, putting existing dog owners at risk of having their beloved pets seized despite their good care, emphasizing the need for more precise legal definitions.
With the imposition of this new ban, animal charities state there is insufficient protection for the rights of current dog owners, urging for legislative changes that would provide clear guidelines and prevent unnecessary harm.
