Should we ban XL Bully dogs?

The Home Secretary Suella Braverman is seeking "urgent advice" on banning "lethal" dogs.

The Home Secretary Suella Braverman is seeking "urgent advice" on banning "lethal" American bully XL dogs. Her statement comes after footage was posted online of an attack on an 11-year-old girl in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, on Saturday. Ms Braverman said the attack was "appalling" and the breed was a particular danger to children. But banning the XL Bully is not straightforward, because it is not recognised as a specific breed in the UK. 5 Live listeners told Nicky Campbell if we should ban the XL Bully.
