Quite a bizarre conspiracy theory to have considering they aren’t even recommending killing the dogs, they say antibiotics solve the issue.
They’re advocating having more thorough checks at the border, and improving testing as it currently results in 50% of cases being false positives.
This disease is already widespread in some other parts of the world, there haven’t been widespread dog massacres there.
And for that breed that is to be banned, tbh, that seems wise. The UK had an average of 3 lethal dog attacks per year in 2001-2021.
That breed is a new import. In 2022 we had 10 lethal dog attacks, 9 of which were Bully XLs. In 2023, 100% of deaths so far (6 IIRC) have been from Bully XLs. Almost as if large, strong dogs specifically bred for aggressive tendencies and have the ability to overpower an adult male, with jaws that can break bones, will be aggressive and dangerous. Crazy I know.
Any dog can be trained to aggression, and several breeds can overpower an adult human male (since that seems to be your standard). Or don’t you have police dogs?
Observation isn’t conspiracy, my friend. But it’s your country. Do with it what you will.
Ahhhh ok. I’ll just train a chihuahua to kill then. Easy peasy.
Bit of a ludicrous comparison to bring up police dogs. Police dogs are trained and not owned by random people.
It’s very much a conspiracy lmao, you’re saying that this existing disease is related to the banning of a dangerous dog breed and that it’s part of a slippery slope to the government banning dogs, in the country with probably the highest dog ownership rate in the world.
And btw, we aren’t talking about training a dog to be aggressive - we’re talking about selectively breeding dogs to be aggressive. There’s a difference.

With respect, your excellency of avarice, training a chihuahua to kill is a bit like putting a stick of dynamite on a tactical nuclear warhead.
(I’m only joking, I’ve met tons of chihuahuas who were wonderful.)
