Scotland plans to ban unlicensed XL bully dogs, aligning with UK legislation due to a surge in rehoming incidents. First Minister Humza Yousaf highlighted the decision amid concerns about XL bully dogs flowing into Scotland. The move follows recent regulations in England and Wales, implemented after attacks. Yousaf emphasized the need for public safety, hinting at a replicated legislation soon. The Scottish SPCA supports measures against irresponsible ownership rather than breed-specific bans. Decision details will be provided to the Scottish Parliament, addressing the recent influx and ensuring community safety.
