UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman is pushing for a ban on American XL Bully dogs after an 'appalling' attack on an 11-year-old girl in Birmingham over the weekend. She argues these dogs pose a "clear and lethal danger", particularly to children. Braverman has commissioned urgent advice on outlawing the XL Bully dog breed. However, Environment Secretary Therese Coffey's department is responsible for banning dogs. They have concerns over feasibility as the American XL Bully is not an officially recognized breed and could inadvertently ban other dogs too.
