The owner of the two XL Bully dogs who mauled a man to death described the dog a "mean-looking f***er".<\/p>\n
Ian Price was killed after the animals dashed into his 89-year-old mum Beryl's garden opposite his house, prompting the repairman to run to her rescue on Thursday (September 14).<\/p>\n
Witnesses then watched in horror as Mr Price, 52, was savaged by the dogs as they went into a "frenzy", with one neighbour trying to beat the beasts with sticks in a bid to save the man.<\/p>\n

Armed police were called to the scene in Stonnall, Staffordshire, just after 3pm, accompanied by a dog unit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But it was too late for the Aston Villa fan, who was flown to hospital in Birmingham but succumbed to his injuries that evening.<\/p>\n
Mr Price was the sixth person killed in a dog attack this year in England alone, prompting calls for the creatures to be banned UK-wide.<\/p>\n
The owner of the dogs, a 30-year-old was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and having dogs dangerously out of control and was released on bail yesterday morning (Friday, September 15).<\/p>\n

XL bully breed responsible for 'nearly 50% of all attacks on both humans and dogs'<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
One of his dogs died after being strangled using a dogcatcher pole, while the other was killed after its owner gave permission for it to receive a lethal injection.<\/p>\n
The owner had previously posted to Facebook showing off his pets, with one photo showing a photo of his child in front of the beasts.<\/p>\n
Captioning the post, he called one of his animals a "mean-looking f***er". <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In another comment he estimated each dog would grow to at least 70kg by the time they were seven months old.<\/p>\n
The news comes after Rishi Sunak announced plans earlier this week to ban American XL Bullies by the end of the year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister appeared in a video posted to social media on Friday where he declared attacks by the breed "cannot go on".<\/p>\n
"I share the nation\u2019s horror at the recent videos we\u2019ve all seen," he said.<\/p>\n
"It is clear this is not about a handful of badly trained dogs, it\u2019s a pattern of behaviour and it cannot go on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"While owners already have a responsibility to keep their dogs under control, I want to reassure people that we are urgently working on ways to stop these attacks and protect the public."<\/p>\n
The PM also said he had asked ministers to consult police and experts as they look to define the breed "with the view to then outlawing it".<\/p>\n
When a dog is added to the banned list it makes it illegal for anyone in the UK to own, breed or sell it.<\/p>\n
Four breeds are currently on the list \u2013 the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anyone with a banned dog can have their pooch confiscated by police or the local council dog warden \u2013 even if it hasn't acted in a dangerous way and no complaints have been made about it.<\/p>\n
Owners of illegal dogs could be convicted of a crime, which could land you with an unlimited fine, a prison sentence of up to six months, or both.<\/p>\n
Your dog could also be destroyed.<\/p>\n
