Hundreds of XL bully dogs to be destroyed at end of year when ban comes into force – By Amelia Harper (Sky News) / Nov 25, 2023
Animal charities say hundreds of the controversial dogs will be put down if they are not rehomed by 31 December.
At least 246 XL bully dogs will be euthanised when a ban comes into force at the end of the year, Sky News can exclusively reveal.
The dogs currently live in rescue centres run by the RSPCA, Blue Cross, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Dogs Trust and Mayhew, among others.
Under the ban, which comes into force in two phases, XL bullies cannot be lawfully rehomed or sold after 31 December.
It follows a spate of recent attacks and deaths involving the breed.
