The American XL bully dog breed will be banned by the end of the year after a series of attacks, Rishi Sunak has said.

On Friday, it was confirmed Ian Price, 52, had died after being attacked by two dogs in Stonnall, West Midlands, with police saying they believed the animals, both of which were killed, were XL bully dogs.

Footage of an XL bully dog attacking people in the street in Birmingham, including a 11-year-old girl who sustained shoulder and arm injuries, prompted outcry this week. The XL bully breed was linked to six of the 10 fatal dog attacks in the UK in 2022, and has been involved in at least two fatalities this year.

The campaigner Emma Whitfield, whose 10-year-old son, Jack Lis, was killed by an XL bully in south Wales in 2021, said in response to the announcement: “I’m sobbing. I’m sat on my own sobbing. I don’t even have words right now.”

Florida authorities find 13ft alligator in canal with human remains in mouth

The Pinellas county sheriff’s office said in a news release that the male alligator measured 13ft 8.5in and was “humanely” killed after being removed from the water. The sheriff’s dive team recovered the human remains from the waterway.

Jamarcus Bullard described spotting the alligator on Friday afternoon in remarks to a local NBC News affiliate.

“I threw a rock at the gator just to see if it was really a gator and like it pulled the body – like it was holding on to the lower part of the torso and pulled it under the water,” he said. Bullard then recorded the alligator with his cellphone and provided it to authorities.

Authorities rescue nearly 100 goldendoodles from Iowa puppy mill

Puppy mills are high-volume breeding facilities that produce puppies for profit and disregard the needs of the puppies and their mothers, according to the Humane Society. Animals in puppy mills are treated as cash crops and are often trapped in overcrowded cages with minimal shelter from extreme weather and forced to sit and sleep in their own excrement, said the non-profit Paws.

Many suffer from malnutrition or starvation as a result of inadequate or unsanitary food and water while adult animals are bred until they can no longer produce before being destroyed or discarded, added Paws.

There are an estimated 10,000 puppy mills active across the country, with 500,000 dogs kept solely for breeding purposes at these facilities, according to the Humane Society. Approximately 2.6 million dogs are sold each year puppy mills.

Jawless Florida alligator named Jawlene

Jawlene drew international attention earlier this month after she was spotted with the top half of her jaw missing. Eustacia Kanter said to People that she snapped a photo of the gator at a Sanford, Florida, park on 29 August.

Later, Katrina Shadix posted a photograph on Facebook, asking: “Is anyone in the area that can HELP this poor alligator?” In the dramatic photograph, the alligator’s tongue is clearly seen and her snout is ripped off below her eyes.

“From the image I was provided, the alligator appears to have good body weight, and the injury healed over, but the continued survivability in the wild is slim,” said to People. “It could be from another alligator but the clean cut also suggests this animal was caught in a hunting snare.”

UK campaign to cast farmed salmon off menu

From Devon to Scotland, restaurants, cafes, galleries and hotels have ditched farmed salmon. “I think it’s such a poor product, and because of the effect that it has on wild salmon, I won’t serve it,” says Lloyd Morse, head chef at the Palmerston restaurant in Edinburgh.

Palmer, who previously worked as a vet on salmon farms, cites parasitic sea lice that build up in farms and can disperse and infect wild salmon and sea trout, with sometimes fatal consequences.

Marine Stewardship Council rates organic and Aquaculture Stewardship Council-certified Atlantic salmon as “green” in its traffic light system, with most other farmed salmon rated “amber”, meaning improvements are needed. The MSC’s sustainable blue tick applies only to wild salmon products, mostly from North America.

World’s oldest known dog dies aged 31
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...w-grave-as-pup

The late canine, who has died at the spectacular age of 31 years and 165 days, has broken the record for the world’s longest-lived dog.

Bobi, a Portuguese mastiff, or Rafeiro do Alentejo, shuffled off his mortal collar on 21 October in the Portuguese village of Conqueiros

One of the earliest tributes came from Guinness World Records, which said it was “saddened to learn of the death of Bobi, the world’s oldest dog ever”. Bobi was awarded the title of world’s oldest living dog in February this year, effortlessly snatching the crown from the paws of Spike the chihuahua, a young pretender from Ohio who was then a mere pup in comparison at the age of 23 years and seven days.

Tam thập cẩu lập (kỷ lục).

Chắc ông chủ phải khắc tượng khuyển lão này chứ ta! :z67:

Ở gần nhà mình mỗi Chủ Nhật có hàng xóm cũng dắt cho "đi dạo". Cái con chó đó cũng già dữ lắm rồi mà sao không thấy nó chết. Không dám hỏi sợ ông đó nói sao tía vô duyên. Kỳ thật là con cho đó nó hiền queo, chỉ có chủ nó mới dữ. Hay là nó có anh em mà chủ nó thay thế mà mình không biết. Con chó đó nó bự như con cọp. Nhưng dáng vẻ nó hiền như con rùa. Di chuyển chậm chạp như đi hết sức rồi. Vậy mà cả chục năm nay từ ngày ông đó mua cái nhà đó về ở đó vẫn cứ thấy chủ và vật đi dạo suốt. Vẫn bình yên.

China local governments launch crackdown on dogs after child was mauled

The child was injured while walking with her mother in Chengdu on 16 October, leading authorities to announce they would tighten control of dogs while reiterating the importance of “civilised dog ownership”.

Henan’s Shenqiu County announced it would focus on prohibited dogs, unregistered dogs and strays. On the same day, Sichuan’s Ebian Yi Autonomous County decided to carry out a county-wide crackdown – saying any dog found unattended in a public place would be considered a stray dog for capture.

Social media posts from inside China showed landlords or community committee members breaking into people’s houses and forcibly taking away their dogs. Some of the animals were later killed.

The indiscriminate killing of stray dogs has aroused some public anger. People in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, took to the streets with signs calling for and end to animal cruelty on 22 October.

Bruce the brolga has blessed the people of Queensland’s Moreton Bay region with his presence for years and, after a recent health scare, should continue to do so for years to come.

Bruce has been spotted patiently waiting at local train stations, although no one has yet spotted the crane actually on a train.

According to his social media (he’s on Instagram and Facebook), he’s been chilling on front lawns, craning in windows and meandering through homes.
