Highlights: In a bizarre turn of events last month, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he would ban American XL bullies, a type of pit bull-shaped dog that had recently been implicated in a number of violent and sometimes deadly attacks.

XL bullies are perceived to be dangerous — but is that really rooted in reality?

I’m not reading your wall of text. You want to argue so badly you’re fabricating some stance I have on the issue of banning breeds.

The only issue I took was you telling someone mixed breeds aren’t a breed while you also are not referring to a breed.

That’s it. Go back and read my first reply to you. I corrected you, explained the correction, and added an anecdotal experience about “pit bull” being used to describe a dog of Boxer breed.

Might be time for an internet break.
