      From the article

      From 1 February, it became a criminal offence to own the XL bully breed in England and Wales without an exemption certificate. Anyone who owns one of the dogs must have had the animal neutered, have it microchipped and keep it muzzled and on a lead in public, among other restrictions.

      So I’m guessing she got them before they were banned and had an exception so she didn’t have to have them destroyed.

        Or didn’t and simply flouted the law.

        There’s a stereotype of people who own those breed(s) for a reason.

      The lady across the street from us used to own a small dog, I think it passed and she recently got an XL bully. She struggles to walk it, always looks angry with the dog, it’s always barking and glaring at me and my family. I have been carrying my gun more recently because I’m waiting for the day that dog decides to try to make a meal out of my two-year-old.

      Why are dognuts the way they are? Just get a fucking pom.
