Bully XLs killed loads of folk in the UK, often unprovoked. It got to the point where the breed got banned. While ownership plays a part, they were disproportionately represented in fatal incidents.
The amount of owners who were shock because their dog was a kind spirit that wouldn't hurt a sole, then one day snapped and kid was dead.
Once again, this is a pit bull. You can tell because of the way it is. Notice that it looks like a velvet hippo with a dumb frog face and is on a couch. 100% pit bull.
