And perhaps the silence now is just as telling.
In 2023, Bully Watch and those amplifying them were extremely vocal about Cookie. His name, bloodline and death were used in the case against XL Bullies. His photograph even appeared on their Twitter/X banner.
Cookie mattered when his story supported the narrative.
Now a criminal trial has heard the fuller circumstances and Chanel Fong has been unanimously acquitted of both charges.
Where are the posts? Where is the analysis? Where is the acknowledgement from those who made this case so prominent?
If Cookie was important enough to campaign with, surely the outcome is important enough to tell the same audience.
Evidence doesnโt stop being relevant because it no longer supports your argument.
Thatโs the difference between examining evidence and selecting it.

COOKIE: WHEN A HEADLINE BECOMES THE EVIDENCE
Remember Cookie?
In 2023, Bully Watch didnโt just count Keven Jonesโ death in its XL Bully statistics.
They used Cookieโs image in their material. They used his photograph as their Twitter/X banner. His bloodline was highlighted and his death became part of the argument that XL Bullies represented an exceptional danger.
Cookie became a poster dog for the case against his own type.
But the fuller story matters.
A court has now heard that Keven was in poor health and taking blood-thinning medication. He died from extreme blood loss after Cookie bit him on the leg.
The contemporary account wasnโt of the prolonged, frenzied mauling people may imagine from the words โkilled by an XL Bullyโ. Chanel Fong maintained from the beginning that it was a tragic accident and described Cookie as playing too roughly. She said Cookie got off Keven when called away.
Cookie was euthanised.
Four years later, after the evidence was examined in court, Chanel Fong was unanimously acquitted of both charges against her.
None of this diminishes Kevenโs death or his familyโs loss.
But it demonstrates why fatality statistics without context can be so misleading.
Victim: Keven Jones
Dog: American XL Bully
Outcome: Fatality
Those three facts alone donโt tell you how the death occurred, the victimโs vulnerability, the circumstances of the interaction or the behaviour of the dog.
Yet stripped of that context, a tragedy can become evidence of supposedly inherent breed danger.
And thereโs another question worth asking.
Bully Watch and others were extraordinarily vocal about Cookie when his case supported the campaign for an XL Bully ban.
Where is that same scrutiny now that the court proceedings have ended in acquittal?
If Cookieโs photograph and Kevenโs death were important enough to use when building the case against XL Bullies, the fuller circumstances revealed in court deserve to be heard too.
DATA WITHOUT CONTEXT IS NOT EVIDENCE OF BREED PROPENSITY.
A dog being involved in a fatality and a dog carrying out an unprovoked, sustained fatal mauling are not automatically the same thing.
If weโre serious about preventing deaths, we need to understand why incidents happen, not simply collect tragedies according to breed.
End Breed Discrimination. Break the Chain.

Remember we also have this petition calling for the rather aggressive rules of the DDA to be changed to allow prohibited types to be rehomed and as has been stressed in the past, this is NOT a giving up on reform of the DDA, this is a push for an interim plan to minimise dogs being unnecessarily destroyed in, whilst we are on the long grinding war against BSL as a whole.

Section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act still allows dogs to be euthanised with no proven dangerous behaviour when ownership fails, a ban MPs once called โcruel and illogical.โ A new petition proposes funded, behaviour based rehoming of non dangerous dogs via approved rescues, retaining full public safety powers. Interim harm reduction. Full reform to follow.

Weโre asking for reform of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
End breed bans. Focus on behaviour, ownership, and prevention.
A condensed, evidence based alternative to breed bans is here:

Alongside it is a proposed rehoming trial for Section 1 dogs:
