Petition for American XL Bully not to wear a muzzle

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

if XL have to wear a muzzle then why do other dogs not have to? Therefore they don’t deserve to be isolated and singled out when any dog can be aggressive and attack a member of the public the public, a child or another dog? Every dog attack isn’t just from an XL, it is discriminating.
Muzzling a dog that is not aggressive and has not been proved to be can lead to the dog becoming more agitated and stressed due to this being on there face and can effect the dog then POSSIBLY make them aggressive. Either bring out a law for EVERY dog to wear a muzzle in public or none at all.
