On the latest episode of Good Morning Britain, tensions rose as presenter Ranvir Singh attempted to moderate a heated argument about XL bully dogs. The debate was sparked by guest Mike Parry's statement that the breed should be put down, which angered owner Kay Taiwo.
Recent news of XL bullies attacking two boys in separate incidents and a woman in her 50s being mauled to death by two of the dogs has sparked widespread concern. As Mike and Kay shouted over each other, Ranvir was forced to interject and bring their fiery clash to a close.
The intensity of the argument caught the attention of Lorraine presenter Joel Dommett, who was visibly taken aback. When GMB cut to him, he remarked on the heated segment and how "intense" it was.
The shouting match began when GMB host Richard Madeley asked Mike how he proposed to "kill every XL bully in the country." Mike's response was that the only legal XL bully dogs in the country were registered and they should be eliminated. However, Kay, who had brought her pet XL bully into the studio wearing a muzzle, interrupted and argued that many other large dogs also made people feel afraid.
As they continued to talk over each other, Ranvir extended her arms in an effort to calm them down. It was clear that the debate between Kay and Mike would continue to be a contentious issue.
Eventually, Ranvir cut to Joel, who was standing in for Lorraine. Looking shell-shocked, Joel commented on the intensity of the debate and how "wow" it was. Last week, a 50-year-old woman named Angeline Mahal was mauled to death by her two XL bully dogs in Cornwall Close, Hornchurch. The dogs were seized by authorities, and it was revealed to be a criminal offense to own an XL bully in England and Wales without an exemption certificate.
A relative of Ms. Mahal, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that she had owned the dogs since they were puppies. They added that they were still unsure of the full details of the attack, but believed that only one of the dogs was involved.
In March, a toddler in Doncaster was also attacked by a family's pet XL Bully and had to be taken to the hospital. As of February 1st, it is illegal to own an XL bully breed in England and Wales without an exemption certificate. Those who own these dogs must have them neutered, microchipped, and kept muzzled and on a leash in public, among other restrictions.
The decision to ban XL bullies came after a series of attacks, and according to the Office for National Statistics, there were 16 deaths due to dog attacks in 2023, a significant increase from previous years.
