    Dog attacks across the country are on the rise, with 24 deaths since the start of the Covid lockdown now confirmed. <\/p>\n

    The youngest victim of the attacks so far is Bella-Rae Birch, a 17-month old baby who was killed at by an American Bully XL in March 2021. Young Bella-Rae had been mauled to death by the beast at the family home in Blackbrook, St Helen’s.<\/p>\n

    Her death is one of 24 fatal attacks in the UK over the last three years, with eight people so far this year being killed due to encounters with vicious dogs. Most recently, Ian Langley was attacked and killed by an XL Bully in Sunderland on Tuesday (October 3). <\/p>\n

    XL bully dogs drew recent controversy, prompting the UK Government to announce they would look to ban the breed. Marches were organised against the ban, which was left muddled by rulings over whether or not the XL bully dogs could actually attend. <\/p>\n

    Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the dogs were a “danger to our communities” while Sir Robert Goodwill of the Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee believes faster action needed to be taken. He claims a “general cull” of the breed is necessary. <\/p>\n
