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.”
It’s unpopular, but I don’t think the breed should be banned.
What should happen is strict licensing laws should be established to ensure that the person in charge of their care follows set instructions, such as:
I’ve known people with XL Bullies, and those dogs appeared to me to be sweet dogs that loved playing, sleeping, and being a part of their family. IMO, all dogs are dangerous in their own way, because ultimately you have no idea of their mental state, and you should treat pets accordingly instead of projecting human attitudes/emotions to them.
Yeh, and most of the time Mike Tyson is sweet, charming and perfectly reasonable company.
But if he’s in the wrong frame of mind, he’ll bite your head off and shit down the gaping hole.
The XL bully is an inherently powerful and dangerous dog. I have a medium size dog. She’s very sweet. She is also very strong, but not so strong that I can’t overpower her if ever the need arose.
There aren’t many people capable of holding their own against a dog with the physical attributes of an XL.
This is basically what the person that died did. They projected human emotions and actions onto an animal. An XL Bully is not Mike Tyson…
No one is “holding their own” against a XL Bully. Frankly, few people are holding their own against any large dog breeds. All dogs are dangerous, some more so than others.
This is why ownership of specific breeds should only be done in controlled environments. If you’re dancing around the kitchen with your XL Bully in order to prove a point, chances are that you’re not providing a controlled environment! As someone that has owned rescue dogs, ALL dogs should be in controlled and comforting environments to some extent, even more so with XL Bullies.
Alongside this, the second you ban something in the UK, the breeding black market is going to go into overdrive. Those dogs will be on the streets and in the hands of people that want to abuse them and use them like weapons faster than you can blink.
