Two of four fatal dog attacks in the UK in 2021 involved a Bully XL, with the number increasing to at least six out of ten last year. So far in 2023, there have been at least two fatal bully attacks - with fears the breed could have also been involved in three other dog killings.

WHY WE NEED DOG LICENCES AGAIN
Did you know that up until 1987, you had to have a licence to own a dog of any kind within Great Britain, and that in Northern Ireland you still need a licence to own a dog? These days, literally almost anyone can legally buy and own a dog, and there are no restrictions on who can or cannot keep a pet, other than people that have been banned from keeping animals due to a conviction for cruelty. But despite over twenty five years having passed since dog licenses were abolished within Britain, many organisations including the RSPCA are lobbying for the re-introduction of a mandatory dog licence for every dog, and claim that this will help to reduce the number of homeless and uncared for dogs in the country and generally improve welfare standards.Are they correct? Why were the original dog licenses introduced, how effective were they and why were they eventually abolished? What would bringing in a new dog licence mean for dog owners today? Read on to find out more!
​
Dog licences – first introduced in the Victorian era – were scrapped in 1987 in England, Scotland and Wales after they began to be seen as an unnecessary anachronism.
​
A further 38% feel that dog licences would deter unsuitable dog owners, and 24% believe it would encourage better standards and training, which would hopefully protect the public from irresponsible owners and unpredictable pets.
