United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It's not the breed, it's the owner
Both.
Nobody needs a dog that powerful.
And rather, few people can control a dog that powerful once it gets serious. I very much believe that these dogs are peaceful and nice most of the time. But what about the times they are not? Who can hold them back and stop them? They were bred to not stop attacking, bred for incredible strength. They are not evil, they do what they were made for, but sadly that what they were created for is incompatible with a family dog.
So I read this article recently, and it suggested that some American breeders think there's specific issues with the breeding line of XLs that are bred in the UK.
