Keep XL bullys legal dogs to own

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop trying to make XL bullys an illegal dog breed to own. Keep them legal no license needed to own them.
The dog itself is not a vicious dog, it becomes vicious when it is not raised correctly. Many people own this dog breed and have had no issues whatsoever with this dog. The dog is innocent and making them illegal is unacceptable, many many people disagree with this decision of making them illegal. Smaller dogs can be just as dangerous as larger dogs, it’s about how they were brought up, not the breed of dog they are. A chihuahua can be just as vicious as an XL bully.
