An XL Bully dog that was abandoned at a park in Liverpool has been humanely destroyed by animal control officers. The dog had no collar or muzzle and was described as petrified by witnesses. Police were called to the scene and subdued the dog with bits of food. The dog was originally estimated to be one of around 10,000 XL Bullies in the UK, but following a breed ban at the end of last year, more than 55,000 were registered for a ban exemption certificate. It is now illegal to breed, sell, or abandon XL Bullies in the UK.
