Dog owner brands police ‘murderers’ after XL Bully and pet shot dead near Sheffield

Callum Differ, 27, accused the police of 'slaughter' after they shot dead his XL Bully called Mila and his pet cross-breed Benji on Monday (Mar 31).

The dogs had escaped through a hole in his garden in North Anston, in Sheffield, and were killed when police were called to say the animals had attacked a horse.

South Yorkshire Police insist the XL Bully had injured the horse and both dogs posed a risk to nearby children and dog-walkers when they shot half a mile away from their home.

However angry Callum denied they posed a danger and said the situation could have been resolved without them being shot dead.
