so this is why, sadly the we are hearing so many stories of attacks because the rspca don't think we now, you know, to kind of animal rights groups are kicking off about xl bullies, which kind of sums up where nations are. i think. where the nations are. i think. so you definitely blame the dog, not owner . not the owner. >> well , of course, it's a >> well, of course, it's a complex issue when dog attack happens and of course, irresponsible ownership owners can be a part of it. but, you know, one cannot deny that we've deliberately bred this really, really strong dogs. and because of their look , because of their of their look, because of their look, many dogs and criminals, they just choose this breeds as their, you know, guard dogs as this sort of macho symbol. and that's why they're so likely to be abused and to be chained, to be abused and to be chained, to be beaten , not to be socialised be beaten, not to be socialised properly , to be caged. and you properly, to be caged. and you know, you can't predict, like how how a dog like this would behave. and also, that's why so many

the number of dog bites and strikes has gone through the roof since the introduced that and the rsp rspca that research shows that breed is a poor indicator of risk of aggressive behaviour in dogs. >> i'm with kit malthouse on this. i think it has to be a combination of both nailing down the breed, but also dealing with the breed, but also dealing with the owners . there's no doubt the owners. there's no doubt about it that some of the owners particularly like having a dog as a as a weapon in effect. and so and he was pointing out there that you can get 14 years if your dog kills somebody. i'm not sure if that's actually enough time. and i think it's right that the prime minister is taking action and he's said that it will be sorted out by the end of the year. and i think that's that gives enough time to be able to get it about right as opposed to to a decision trustingly. >> the owner these two dogs >> the owner of these two dogs that killed the man this week, ian price. this week the police had gone to see him a couple of times to say your dogs are dangerous, out of control. and actuall

however, the rspca say that banning specific breeds of dog isn't necessarily good because one dog that's person. so they're saying that specific breed bans won't necessarily work . but of won't necessarily work. but of course, this is the kind of response that you get when you see something that is so horrific that a particular type of dog is at the centre of and of dog is at the centre of and of course is at the centre of many other violent cases, that is the kind of response that you start to get, particularly from the public, but also from the people in power. >> yeah, well, thank you very much. and to make things even more complicated , the american more complicated, the american xl bully is not actually recognised as a breed . anyway, recognised as a breed. anyway, we'll be delving into that more over the next hour. will hollis in birmingham, thank you. >> luis rubiales has announced. yes, he's resigned a long last from the spanish football federation . the president going federation. the president going after the controversy , of after the controversy, of course, over that kiss on

certainly the rspca wouldn't consider sort of standard fast growing breeds of chicken to have a lifeers in poultry units, and it all alleges suffering. the farm that you saw earlier in the open cages video has told us that it has well cared for birds and has been independently audited for welfare compliance three times in the last 14 months and complies with all legal standards. there's little doubt that chicken is the nation's favourite meat. it constitutes over 50% of all meat eaten here. i like a chicken kebab. my husband does weight training and things, so chicken is quite an important part to him. how often do you eat chicken? at least every other day. do you care how it's raised on the farm, how it's farmed? so we decided to take a look for ourselves at how it's produced. there's 37,000 birds here at the moment, and today they're 13 days old. so these birds are the frankenchickens. frankenchickens. at the moment, this is all we produce. we are at a the family farm in yorkshire to see the conditions. this is not one of the farms that was secretly filmed. we can't tell you exactl

the rspca take a very different line, though. think when you see a pattern like this with these excel bully dogs and i mean , we've given dogs and i mean, we've given that name. >> yeah, a lot of this is about money, then somebody creates this breed and then they become desirable. and when they become desirable. and when they become desirable , they become valuable. desirable, they become valuable. and them and then there's more of them bred sort of thing. so bred and that sort of thing. so no need for them shouldn't be there. >> i'm just amazed the government's so slowly on this. >> i mean, how many more people need be attacked? many need to be attacked? how many more they more dogs? apparently they killed this killed one dog a day. this particular in the month particular breed in the month of july so who come july alone. so people who come out as sort of animal loving are actually affecting other dogs, not american bully dogs not just us american bully dogs are accounted accountable for 73% of dog attacks since 2022. >> yeah. a

the rspca takes a slightly different view on such matters. dog aggression is highly complex.

but by the time the rspca came out to get it, it had disappeared again. >> oh, right.yeah. don't fancy that. no, but we do fancy having a bit of sport for you very shortly aidan magee. oh there's a bit of huha this morning about boring communities . oh yeah. go on, les . yes. . oh yeah. go on, les. yes. >> les in newcastle. morning les says your discussion this morning about the most boring areas in the sun newspaper has left me shocked. tyne and wear was fourth. nobody ever calls geordies boring, so they must have just met a lot of people from sunderland . from sunderland. >> oh harsh. les karen says. i live in a small village called wretham in lincolnshire , 5—5 wretham in lincolnshire, 5—5 miles from lincoln . i wouldn't miles from lincoln. i wouldn't live anywhere else. i've lived all over with my late father being in the forces. but this is home, you see. >> in lincolnshire was the top most boring place, wasn't it? i'll tell you what. >> there's nothing wrong with boring. london. london boring. well, no. london. london is definitely not boring. i wouldn't want to
