Two dogs have been destroyed and a third been contained by police after an attack in Handsworth Road area on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dogs were shot by firearms officers after they escaped from a property and attacked another dog on the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner of the dog was taken to hospital following the attack and a 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of having a dog dangerously out of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack comes after the government announced new laws, banning ownership of XL Bully dogs if they are not registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs from 1 February 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Environment Secretary Therese Coffey says that she has received death threats as a result of the ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new law, which comes into effect from the end of December, make it illegal to breed, sell, advertise, exchange, gift, rehome, abandon or allow XL Bully dogs to stray in England and Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owners of XL Bully dogs without a Certificate of Exemption face a criminal record, an unlimited fine and their dog could be seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dogs under one-year-old when the ban comes into effect must be neutered by June of next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To report a dog attack, call police at 101.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
