United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

Here's the neet part it won't same as the pitbull ban even if we get defined breeding standards and it works they'll just mix something like Canie Corso's or something else that they will then abuse to the point it'll be a weapon
They don’t need to define the breeding as being a cross between x and y breeds, but as a set of characteristics for example. I’m not an expert in dog breeding but I’m sure a group of experts could come up with a definition that isn’t overly broad but also defies workarounds
Think that no matter how well the law defines banned breeds, if the number of dog wardens (and/or police) who can follow up on reports of banned breeds is not increased & their department given more resources to investigate cases & confiscate animals, enforcement won't be great.
But it is a start & should discourage some of the breeders & some of the prospective buyers.
Cane Corsos I thought were already banned in the UK, so if true it seems unlikely that a Cane Corso x American Bully XL would fly, though I suppose they'd be less immediately identifiable to the general public. On the other hand, have often heard that mixes of breeds with very intense drives like these, tend to be more stable & predictable than the pure breeds they were mixed from rather than the cauldron of aggression one might expect, but this could be a total myth.
I feel like the abuse of animals to create a dangerous dog is another matter, even if there is a lot of overlap between the people who do that & the people who pick certain breeds as pets.
