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]

      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.

        No, their dog is probably never going to go nuts and maul someone the dog knows.

        The owners have absolutely no idea how they react among strangers.

        And that is why those owners who claim their dog is so friendly are so dumb.

        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.

          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.

            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.

            “This thing could kill me, or my family, at any time and there’d be nothing I can do to stop it but It’S sO pReTtY 😍”

            Yeah. Sounds like cognitive dissonance.
