00:00 Do you think the American Bully XL dogs should be banned?
00:03 Not really. I feel like maybe keep tabs? Do you know what I mean? Maybe you should have
00:07 to have a little sign up sheet, "I've got one of these dogs." But I think banning them
00:11 outright is a bit intense.
00:12 Yeah, I think it's a very lazy policy to just ban them. I think the owners should really
00:18 have more policies on whether they are allowed to own those sort of dogs, how the breeding
00:23 and training process will sort of come into place. Not banning them is a very lazy thing.
00:28 I agree.
00:29 With the attacks recently, do you think that's to do with the breed or the owners or a bit
00:34 of both?
00:35 I think the owners.
00:36 I suppose it's a bit of both, yeah.
00:37 I get that it's a very aggressive breed, like stereotypically, but the way that they're
00:42 bred is just not in good conditions and that has an effect on them when they're a puppy
00:46 as well. So they haven't really got a chance. If the owner doesn't know, can't control it.
00:52 It's really more policies on how you bring up a dog, I think.
00:56 It's the owner's responsibility to look after the animal. I know some people who have got
01:00 pit bulls and that. It's just like, my own opinion, it's the owners who raise these dogs
01:04 who can be right as rain, but there are some dogs, dogs who, unfortunately, my dog got
01:10 killed by a pit bull last year. It was somehow, and it was awful. But my own opinion, if you've
01:19 got a dog and you've raised it right, I mean, I know what people have got pit bulls, Dobbins
01:23 are sweet as rain, but sometimes owners are very good owners and they are very good owners
01:31 and I know what people have got dogs, but some of them just raise them right nasty.
01:35 Should the American Bully XL dogs be barred?
01:37 Damn. And every dog that's at risk, whether it be an ex-ex-bully or what, should have
01:42 to wear a Muslim public, don't care what breed it is, think it's got a big mouth or it's
01:49 at risk, wear a thingy. Because my daughter was bit when she was two and she's been back
01:55 now, the dog's ever since. So, yeah, I'm really struggling.
01:59 And the attacks that we've seen recently, do you think that's the fault of the owners or the breed?
02:03 Owners. Owners. It's not the breed, it's the people, horrible people get them dogs.
02:09 Not nice people that love dogs. No. Horrible people.
