Registration and keeping of Bully dogs restricted to public places
Bully breed dogs will have to be registered, kept tied up and muzzled in public after causing nearly half of all attacks on humans and dogs killed since 2021.
It's clear this poundshop president hasn't a clue what normal life is like on the ground in the UK
Let me be absolutely clear:

The chief veterinarian said that dogs from this breed will not be culled, but owners will be required to register and keep them tied up and muzzled in public.
This breed will be banned by the end of the year
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced earlier on Friday that the strain would be banned by the end of the year, after a man in the West Midlands died of a bite from a dog of the American breed Bully.
Ministers will soon get to work setting out the details of the American XL bully dog ban.

According to statistics, 6 out of 10 deadly dog attacks on people were of this breed, and 3 out of every 7 attacks this year.
