The home secretary is seeking "urgent advice" about banning American XL Bully dogs as footage shows one of the animals attacking an 11-year-old girl and a man in Birmingham. Suella Braverman has said the animals are a "clear and lethal" danger after the video of the attack in Bordesley Green emerged on the social media platform TikTok. West Midlands Police are investigating after two men, who were bitten and left with injuries to their shoulders and arms, were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries after the incident on Saturday.

Wow this post got popular. I got called into work and didnt see the replies, sorry ladies and gentlemen! Trying to catch up tonight.

    Well I did and it literally states in the first paragraph of the history of Pit Bulls on Wikipedia:

    The bull-and-terrier was a breed of dog developed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century for the blood sports of dog fighting and rat baiting

    So I feel, idk, that you got some reading to do…

          Well I’ll just start with a top search result when looking for their history…

          https://pitbulls.org/article/brief-history-american-pit-bull-terrier

          I have owned and read about these dogs for decades, I don’t have nor am I going to go find all of the sources I’ve read over that time. I can tell you that you are incorrect in your assumption about the breed, as are virtually every other person who hates these dogs.

          People like you are historically not worth talking to, you will deny any sources or information that I provide because you have already made your mind up about the breed.

          I’ll leave you with this: this breed was created by humans, is in a constant state of misery because of humans, and is persecuted by humans because of human behavior.

          These dogs are not at fault. But ignorance is rife with folks like yourself. I hope you actually put effort into learning their history but I know you won’t.

              I did and then encouraged you to use the same search terms I did to find it. It’s OK though you had no intention of legitimately engaging in this, I know. Later fucko.

                I read your ‘source’, and pitbulls.org is not an unbiased source (wtf how can you think that even). Wikipedia is. Wikipedia supports my claims, end of discussion.

                Goddamn you need to go back to school maybe learn about credible source materials.

                  Man it wouldn’t matter what I provided, you’re gonna bitch about it anyways. People using “uMmM sOuRcE?!” Online today are just grasping at straws trying to be on the offense desperate to look intelligent.

                  “My source supported my claims therefore I am right and you are wrong” is such a dipshit move, you’re a bitch dude. Kindly fuck off.
