XL Bully ban updates — Rishi Sunak confirms breed WILL be removed from UK as dangerous dogs kill man in Staffordshire

A MAN has been killed in Staffordshire after being attacked by two dangerous dogs, as the PM confirmed the XL Bully breed WILL be banned in the UK.

A Primary Academy in Stonnall, Staffordshire, was placed on lockdown, with children prevented from leaving “for safety reasons” after a man died from being mauled to death by two dogs on Thursday.

At present, it is unclear which breed of dogs killed the unnamed man in the horror attack.

It comes as Rishi Sunak on Friday confirmed XL Bully dogs will be banned by the end of the year, after Home Secretary Suella Braverman revealed she wanted to outlaw the breed.

The PM said in a video posted on Twitter: “These dogs are dangerous and I want to reassure the public we will take all the necessary steps to keep them safe.”

Bullys have been linked to nine deaths, including three children, since 2021.
