UK's top vet, Chief Veterinary Officer Professor Christine Middlemiss, has confirmed that owners of American XL bully dogs will not face a cull of their pets despite the Prime Minister's pledge to ban the breed. Instead, an "amnesty" approach will be taken, requiring owners to register their dogs, have them neutered, muzzled in public, and insured. The challenge lies in defining the breed due to its cross-bred nature. The ban comes after a series of attacks, including a fatal one, and campaign groups have celebrated the promise to ban the dogs by the end of the year.
