I think she means this particular type of Bulldog..

I agree with you, not all bulldogs are the same, but with all this bad publicity surrounding this type of Bulldog, all Bulldogs are being tarnished by the same brush.

You're quite right,  they are all being blamed,  very unfairly.

The problem is that the American Xl Bully  is not a proper recognised breed of dog which can be easily identified by either it's looks or even it's DNA, to the best of my knowledge.

That makes the answer more difficult but  we don't want people saying kill the lot because where do you stop ?

More people get killed by cars, shall we ban and blow those u

Not ban cars, no.

But stop manufacturing cars that do 100+ MPH.

The national speed limit is 70.

You're absolutely right with that comment.

People use the same argument against electric scooters saying they have killed someone whilst Ignoring cars, buses, trucks etc.

We just need a sense of proportion injecting rather than wild statements from people with their own agenda.

I will agree that cars need not be capable of much more than 70 mph and certainly not over 100 mph but,  the argument remains that they do kill an awful lot of people, even at 30 mph.

The amount of deaths caused by dogs pales in comparison and yet, everyone seems accepting of that.

Doesn't make sense.

It's called pandering to hype. Look at how many hours have been spent on the issue of fox hunting in the past, a very niche past time that has obtained an relatively incredible amount of parliamentary attention.

Banning cars would bring the economy to a grinding halt,  banning  a type of dog would make no difference.

She hates ALL BULLDOG TYPES  and there are many hundreds of thousands of them who haven't killed people   -   that's what's wrong with it.

As I've said,  that's like blaming all men because some rape and murder.

We need a proper policy determined by experts and not silly words from someone pushing their own pet hates.

 

Pet hates in more than one way.

Not to you.

Many others will not agree.

Besides, cars are helping to ruin the planet   -   Dogs are not.

10 people is 10 too many for these horrible creatures to still be kept as pets.

Two of these dogs ruined a man's life on Thursday, by ending it. I dare say his family's life will be ruined too. Having a breed of dog that is capable of such brutality is not acceptable. End of story.
