According to her social media, Ms Morey was the loving owner of what appears to be an XL bully.

In one video on TikTok, she is seen dancing with a dog in a kitchen.

The video is covered by a male voice saying: "This is my son and I don't give a f*** if you think he looks aggressive and I don't give a f*** if you don't like the look of him and I surely don't give a f*** whether you think the breed should be banned."

...

Another chilling video appearing to show her as the owner of several dogs is captioned: "But if one of us dies - I hope I die first." The video ends with a caption reading: "Love my family."

Replying in this thread because I like the openness and communication of it.

I completely agree with you Sharp this could be addressed by breeding and training. But ... the end goal is not to have aggressive murder machines on our streets. The breeding of power and aggression into the breed shouldn't have been done in my opinon (or allowed into the UK). Breeding out the aggression, effectively means eliminating the breed anyway and gives us a transition period of completely unknown dogs.

Unfortunately, the primary reason (in my worthless opinion) for owning these dogs is the visage of power and aggression. The public penalty of that is part of owning that "power symbol". The public reaction to the dogs, is the reason people want them in the first place.

I do compare this to "assault weapons" in the US. It's not a phrase that makes much clear sense (like XL Bully). If what you want is a working tool, get a different gun/breed. If what you want is a family companion, get a different breed. If you want the power symbol, get the XL Bully or the "assault weapon". There's no specific reason to own that specific dog, except the power symbol.
