They must all wear muzzles when outside
An XL Bully owner has been ordered to put a muzzle on their pet after it killed another dog at a Nottingham nature reserve. Along with two other dogs - both Staffordshire cross breeds - it caused the death of a cocker spaniel after an attack in Snape Wood Nature Reserve, Snape Wood, on March 3.
The smaller dog was left with catastrophic injuries and was put down shortly after, Nottinghamshire Police said. Officers identified a suspect and seized all three dogs. The owner of the dogs, Leon Wilks, 42, was subsequently charged with three counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog. Having pleaded guilty to the charges, Wilks, of Dyce Close, Snape Wood, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on September 15, where a contingent destruction order was imposed on each of the dogs.
In addition to this, Wilks was also made to pay a total of £900 in compensation and fines. PC Conor Bullivant said: “This was a deeply distressing incident that left a dog with horrible injuries and resulted in its owners having to make the difficult decision to put their beloved pet to sleep to end its suffering.
“We hope that the order issued by the court helps provide the community with some reassurance going forward and sends out a strong reminder to all dog owners of their responsibilities to ensure the safety of other people and their animals.”
