XL Bully Dog Incidents Lead to Fatalities

On August 20, a man in his 50s was arrested after a dog, suspected to be an XL Bully, bit a woman in Hatfield, requiring hospital treatment for her injuries. The police conducted a warrant at the suspect's residence, and the dog has been taken into care for breed examination. In a separate incident, a 53-year-old man named David Daintree was killed by his own XL Bully in Accrington, prompting police to fatally shoot the animal to prevent further harm. Meanwhile, Ashley Warren, 40, faced court for charges related to the death of a woman mauled by two XL Bullies in Essex earlier this year. Authorities are investigating these incidents under the Dangerous Dogs Act, emphasizing public safety and encouraging local community reporting on dog-related concerns. Police have reassured the public of their commitment to addressing these issues following resident reports.
