"These dogs aren't cared for by the breeders, they just want money, so from the greed at the start, irresponsible ownership in the middle, " ..."Barry Gardiner, Labour MP and member of theCommon's Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA), told BBC News he did not think it was right to ban the breed, saying it was about controlling owners."
(From the article)I think I'd agree with both arguments. I saw one dog while shopping at lunch time. It was held by a lead and its owner kept it there. It was very calm ( and no one went near it) and quite inquisitive.
Blame the irresponsible owners and any irresponsible  owners.

I see Sunak has announced that Bully XL dogs will be banned by the end of the year even though there isn't a definition and the ban is in part because of the death reported here where we don't know what the dogs were.

Knee jerk politics but that's really the entirety of Sunak's political ambitions at the moment.

author =wiki 
The Act has been controversial for failing to stem the rise of dog attacks and for focusing on a dog's breed or looks instead of an individual dog's behaviour.

If it was up to me, I'd castrate them.
 
 The owners.

 Not the dogs.
