Please retweet, all over the UK dogs and other pets are being dumped, this refers to all breeds, all ages and of course particularly to XL Bully type dogs.
'Following on from my last post…. Another Bully story and what we are facing in the U.K.
Today I was contacted by a vets who needed help with an XL who was going to be put to sleep then and there. The vets had no where to turn.
At this point I had seen not seen photos and with such limited options with the legislation that is coming I told the vets I could not take him but to send me some photos and I’d make some calls, knowing in my heart of hearts I wouldn’t find him the immediate space he needed.
The photos came through and my heart literally couldn’t not help him. Even with the odds stacked so highly against him, because of his breed, I couldn’t see an animal in this condition be put to death after all the abuse he has suffered.
For the sake of him and my own brain I picked him up and he is now recovering treatment at my vets. I just couldn’t leave him behind.
He is so starved and weak he cannot walk.
The owner known and is being properly investigated, and hopefully prosecuted, by the relevant organisation but he will remain a New Hope dog.
Thankfully we got straight on the case and we now have a safe and legal option for him before the legislation comes into force but for now he will stay in our care until he is in better condition.
This poor boy remains sweet, despite being a victim in so many ways.
⭐️⭐️⭐️The unimaginable abuse of these dogs is now a daily reality
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Please spare a thought for people working in rescue, could you cope with this every day?

Below, XL Bully, dumped at a vets in London to be pts. The vet intervened and called a small rescue charity. He is safe and one of the lucky ones. @RishiSunak this is not the answer surely?

@David_Cameron What about the state of our own country!

'The public must be protected, but the Goverment's decision doesn't protect them. The Dangerous Dog Act of 1991 didn't stop bites and fatalities - in fact there are more fatalities and bites now than then' - by @John_Cooper_QC

Some good news at last! Human rights lawyer John Cooper KC is challenging the Government's knee jerk reaction ban fuelled by inaccurate data.

Now John is good, he lecturers others in how to cross examine.
Let's give him a decent pot of money to make sure this action is totally resourced, using the most reliable peer reviewed data possible so we can not let the Gov continue with a completely illogical change of direction ignoring all expert opinion to lazily adopt a measure that they were told was unenforceable and ineffective.

We need proper legislation to make everyone safer, the definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expecting it to work.

In 1991 we banned the Pit Bull - how did that work out? We now have very many more than we ever did and more people died from fatal bites from Pit Bulls before the ban than after it.

Breed bans don't change antisocial behaviour around dogs, we need new laws not repeats of ones we know don't work.

So pleased to hear that John is on the case, he's good - but he needs your support. Please share if you care about dogs, people's safety and just justice!

*** There is urgency, if the ban goes ahead unchallenged every smooth coated dog in rescue that is taller than 19 inches is at risk. Any dog that could be considered "type" in this new Bully XL Gov standard will be killed if they are in rescue after Christmas. No one ever dreamed the bar would ever be so low, most Lab crosses are much taller than 19 inches - this will be carnage if it isn't challenged. ***

Do follow and support @dontbanlicence and share, share, share this!

[Beverley Cuddy (Smith) @beverleycuddy]

England and Wales is facing a ban - not only of Bully XLs, but potentially of all stocky smooth coated dogs taller than 19 inches. The Gov definition could just have given a minimum height and said if they've got a chunky head, four legs and a tail - that is a Bully XL - it's that sketchy.
Every dog fitting that vague description still in rescue at midnight on New Year's Eve must be killed.
You can imagine how worried everyone is.
We're produced an emergency edition of Dogs Today to tell you about how we got this ban and how you can help to contest it.
Please do read it, share it and donate if you can to the Go Fund me

I am very pleased to say that having been instructed to challenge the #xlbully ban we have just served on @theresecoffey and her Department a Pre Action Protocol in Judicial Review which launches the legal challenge. Such an important case. #dogs Please support us. @25BedfordRow

[WAKE UP ENGLAND @the_stumpy]

See that @RishiSunak sneakily rushed the xl bully ban through without anyone’s knowledge and not even debated it with a 570000 petition probably to justify the murder of marshal and millions shot to death for nothing by the met police,this is not a democracy and you are not pm

[Dogs Trust 💛🐶 @DogsTrust]

Alongside other animal charities, we are a part of the Dog Control Coalition. Together, we’ve issued a joint statement with our thoughts to ban XL bullies. Read our statement here: https://t.co/ewd8K3fb1c

[Sarah Knight @SarahKnight78]

@snow639611 @RishiSunak I think you find German shepersrds , Rottweilers & Dobermans all are huge breed dogs and bred for that purpose. In fact used in security and our police forces, trained to attack. If no dog is safe should we ban them all. Not all XL Bullies have been bred/raised for that purpose.

[Sarah Knight @SarahKnight78]

@snow639611 @RishiSunak You’d argue that your response to a XL Bully would be no different to a Rottweiler, or a Doberman. There not being banned. Any decent dog owner would be mindful of people whilst walking their dog. Not all owners are bad!

[Sarah Knight @SarahKnight78]

@BBCNews

[Sarah Knight @SarahKnight78]

@RobertBuckland Such a shame that the XL Bully breed is getting so much negativity when it’s certain breeders raising them to attack or to look aggressive. This is not representative of the majority of that breed. I agree more controls are needed such as, licenses and owner accountability.

[Sarah Knight @SarahKnight78]

@GEOgovuk 100% agree.
Shouldn’t take 5-7 years to access gender reassignment health support, and that’s just the first appointment. No mental health support available unless you go private. #mentalhealth #LGBTQ #frustratedmumfightingtogethersonthesupportheneedsanddeserves
