Britons have started handing in XL bullies to be put down, MPs told

Select committee hears some pet owners have been handing in dogs due to fears over upcoming ban

People are already handing in XL bully dogs, with some requesting for their pet to be put down, after the announcement of an impending ban on the breed, MPs have been told.

At a parliamentary evidence session before the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Efra) select committee, witnesses said vets and animal rehoming centres could become inundated by people seeking to offload the dogs due to the impact of a ban.
