A GROUP of XL bully owners plotting a legal bid to block the ban on the breed have been slammed.
Bully lovers are uniting to hire top lawyers who can help them challenge the legislation announced in January by First Minister Humza Yousaf saying it is unclear, unfair and will criminalise innocent dog owners.
Stop the XL Bully Ban in Scotland, a group made up of more than 1600 supporters, wants a judicial review after the success of an English campaign group in securing a hearing challenging the UK Government's ban next month.
Founded by Amy Peat, from Kirkcaldy, the group have demanded a meeting with victims and community safety minister Siobhian Brown as they scramble to raise cash for an advocate to apply for a court interdict. It told the Record it wants to see the legislation "annulled" and new laws targeting irresponsible dog owners and breeders introduced.
But Tory MSP Jamie Greene said the ban must proceed to save lives.
