Britain bans dangerous dogs – level 1

Britain bans dangerous dogs

19-09-2023 15:00

The UK will ban the American XL bully dog breed. The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says this.

The ban will start at the end of this year. It happens because these dogs are having problems. They attack people. They are dangerous, especially for children. Recently, the American XL bully dog kills a person. The government must make a new law. This law will mean that the dog will be illegal in the UK.

Many people are not happy about this dog breed. They say that it is not only about a few badly trained dogs. It is a bigger problem. But some people do not believe that the ban will work. The ban will give the police the power to do something about these dangerous dogs.

Difficult words: ban (to stop something officially), breed (the kind of an animal or plant), illegal (against the law of a country).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
