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.

No, oddly enough you didn’t. Off though - you’d think if it were all to do with upbringing rather than breed, there would be at least one Dachshund-related fatality over the last 109 years.

After investigation, it was determined that the woman in question

is believed to have been killed by her own American Bully XL

The victim's dog

was the only animal to have been destroyed, which they believe to be an American Bully XL

while

two seized dachshunds were returned to their owner.

You seriously used the Daily Mail as a source?

Feel free to post alternative sources.

You'll struggle to find one that doesn't state the same facts: that following forensic investigation the victim's American Bully XL was destroyed, and two dachshunds were returned to their owners without issue.

I mean, she was walking 8 dogs when she attacked and all the dogs were kept by the police. So, we don’t know to what extent the dachshunds were involved in her death, but if it makes you happy.

The dachshunds were returned to their owners. The victim's dog, an American Bully XL, was destroyed.
