What the petition asks

Stop the xl bully ban from happening to Scotland! urge you all who believe in justice for all dogs regardless of their size or breed - sign this petition today! Let us stand together against this unjust ban on XL Bully dogs!
XL Bullies are not inherently dangerous or vicious. Like any other breed, their temperament largely depends on how they're raised and treated.It's unfair that all XL Bullies should suffer because of some owners' negligence. banning a specific breed does not solve issues related with dog attacks or aggression. It is time we shift our focus from blaming breeds towards promoting responsible ownership including proper training, socialization, care and love for all dogs irrespective of its breed.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about banning XL Bully dogs in Scotland are a matter for the Scottish Government and Parliament, not the UK Government or Parliament.
