I thought these dogs were banned a number of years ago.

So how come so many still seem to be around, and still being euthanised as a result of attacking humans?

My daughter used to work in a pub where one of the customers used to bring in a huge Bull Mastiff. Soft as anything and I have pictures of my daughter sitting next to him on one of the benches. But his owner ( who was a real animal man, through and through) always used to say ‘if I told him to kill you, he would…’. Those sort of dogs are like carrying a loaded gun around with you. People really need to know what they’re doing.

There's a Cane Corso owner called Jason Corey who has a YouTube channel all about his dogs.

His have been well-trained and socialised but he doesn't underestimate what dangerous dogs they can be such that he has posted videos titled: Why Cane Corsos Are So DANGEROUS! and Cane Corso suddenly aggressive.

It's clear this breed is a full time job and can be dangerous with even the best owners simply because they are so powerful and need to guard their territory including their owners.
