The protest will take place in St Stephen's Green in Dublin on Saturday
A demonstration will take place in St Stephen's Green in Dublin on Saturday by animal welfare groups in protest against new rules on XL Bully dogs set to be introduced next month.
It is understood that a ban on XL Bullies will now be implemented in two phases over the next seven months. From February 1 2025, there will be a ban on owning an XL Bully unless you have secured a “Certificate of Exemption”. Brenda Fitzpatrick from the Working Animal Guardians Rescue told RTÉ's Today with Claire Byrne that there's a huge “moral and ethical” in banning XL bullies as pounds and rescues are already overflowing.“Dog pounds and rescues are overflowing with different types of bull breeds, including the XL bullies, and once 1 October comes in these dogs cannot be rehomed so they will basically be condemned to death..
