According to her social media, Ms Morey was the loving owner of what appears to be an XL bully.

In one video on TikTok, she is seen dancing with a dog in a kitchen.

The video is covered by a male voice saying: "This is my son and I don't give a f*** if you think he looks aggressive and I don't give a f*** if you don't like the look of him and I surely don't give a f*** whether you think the breed should be banned."

...

Another chilling video appearing to show her as the owner of several dogs is captioned: "But if one of us dies - I hope I die first." The video ends with a caption reading: "Love my family."

If anyone is has no idea what that means, XL bully is a type of dog.

This might be common knowledge, but I've never heard of it.

From Wikipedia:

The XL Bully was responsible for 10 of the 19 deaths caused by dogs in the UK in the period between 2021 and 2023, and in December 2023, the UK Government added the breed to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, making it illegal to sell, breed, abandon or have a Bully XL in public without a lead and muzzle in England and Wales.[5]

That dog is so angry looking, like it walks on its own fists, and does pushups.

"Ate da catz, 'Ate da postman, 'Ate da neyborz kidz. Simple Az."

That dog looks like it should have an Ankle bracelet, a thick gold chain and be wearing stolen Nikes.

And that one is in the Wikipedia page because it's a champion, meaning a great representative of its breed.

It's such an ugly breed, I've no idea what owners see it in.

[-] FragrantOwl@lemmy.world 68 points 3 weeks ago

They see the power they themselves lack.

There is a woman in my town that has one. And when they were banned the news interviewed her, and she said it's because the dog makes her feel safe when she walks the streets at night.

People buy them to be aggressive, it's ridiculous. If it's a choice between a dangerous dog and allowing people to have guns I honestly would rather that they had guns. At least the gun is controlled by a somewhat competent human, the dog is unpredictable.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 21 points 3 weeks ago

So basically the dog is called "Massive Pitbull" but that name is clearly far too coherence, so they changed it to something stupid.

Sounds like a Bad Dragon dildo

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think I’ve got that one!

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

It’s not a rapper then?

[-] Hundun@beehaw.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you, I thought they were referring to one of my former classmates.

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think that's because it's UK terminology that's not really used in the US.

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 106 points 3 weeks ago

Owning a dog bred for its lack of remorse when fighting and huge muscles is a winning combo for a Darwin award.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 63 points 3 weeks ago

I get the mindset for these people. Their dog is probably never going to go nuts and maul someone, the vast majority will never go nuts and maul someone, it's your big good boi! Its not the animals fault it literally has been bred to be a killer, you didnt train it like that, thats not the environment it lives in... and yeah thats all true but when it goes wrong it goes spectacularly wrong and people die.

Its like people who have pet bears or big cats, like... yeah all the positives and all but its absolutely equipped to kill the fuck out of you should the mood strike it.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The cognitive dissonance these people have is pretty impressive. They have a dog that is famously aggressive, because it's famously aggressive and owning one makes them feel like a big shot / makes them feel safer, and then they say oh he's a big softie. Pick one.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

They have a dog that is famously aggressive, because it’s famously aggressive

You're definitely creating motivation here. They're gorgeous dogs with beautiful faces, and really good brains, and that's enough for the owners I know.

I get that you think otherwise, and I guess I should re-state that such thinking is totally okay, and I'm not addressing that here. I'm saying that there's rich counter-example to the idea that owners are getting this dog because it's got a bad rep.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Citation needed of course because literally everyone I have ever talked to who owns one of these dogs has justified it by saying that it's a matter of personal defense. So they are getting them as weapons.

[-] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They’re gorgeous dogs with beautiful faces,

Lol no!

At least she got what she wanted. That's all anyone can hope for

Rest in pieces.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A 23-year-old woman who was mauled to death by a dog in southwest Ireland appears to have been the owner of an XL bully.

The woman, who was named locally as Nicole Morey, was killed on Tuesday evening at a house in Ballyneety, County Limerick, at around 11.40pm.

Irish broadcaster RTE said the dog involved in the attack was understood to be an XL bully.

Ms Morey was treated by paramedics but died at the scene on Tuesday, Garda (Irish police) said.

There are several restricted breeds in Ireland, including German shepherds, rottweilers and various bull terriers, as well as some crosses.

Restricted dogs must be kept collared with their owner's information on a tag, muzzled in public and on a short, strong lead with someone over the age of 16 who is able to control them.


The original article contains 322 words, the summary contains 137 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I dont think the breed should be banned I think it should be exterminated.

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

A breeding ban will result in this, without the optics of "the police came into my house and killed my dog!" news articles.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I would be fine with every single one being fixed the second it goes into any vets office for any reason.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'd be fine if you die too

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Aww let me guess your a "bully mom"
