Comment on Britons have started handing in XL bullies to be put down, MPs told
shish_mish@lemmy.world 1 year agoI agree, banning a breed doesn’t work. Backyard breeders will just move on to another breed. It used to be rottweilers for a while. The thing is, banning a breed is easy and plays to certain parts of the public. Actually, sorting the issue properly…now that takes time and money and is not easy.

That’s the Tories and their policies in a nutshell - cheap headlines but no desire to do the actual hard work.
You didn’t answer the question
What question?
rottweilers have never been banned. or threatened with it. Pit Bull Terrier · Japanese Tosa · Dogo Argentino · Fila Brasileiro. are the currently banned breeds.

If banning does not work, how do you explain the significant drop in attacks by breeds that are already banned, whereas XL Bullies, previously not banned, account proportionately for far more attacks?

Did the overall rate of attacks go down? That is what would prove they are effective as opposed to just shifting which breed has the highest proportion.
