XL bully 'rescuer' who moved dog to Scotland before it was shot dead slammed over vow to change law

An XL bully “rescuer” whose animal was shot dead by police has been slammed over a bid to stop the killing of dogs by armed officers.Sammy Wilkinson came under fire last month when it emerged one of several XLs he had transported to Scotland to defy the English ban on the breed had been gunned down following an incident with another dog in East Kilbride.Now the 29-year-old, from Tipton in the West Midlands, is campaigning for “Kilo’s Law”, saying the animal was “murdered” and he will fight to see tasers and sedative darts used on out of control animals instead of firearms.But the Scottish Tories yesterday said police “did what they had to do” and “must be trusted” to protect the public amid concerns over the number of XL Bullies recently rehomed in Scotland.Wilkinson told the Record in January how he was driving thousands of miles around the clock to get soon-to-be outlawed pets to safety ahead of a ban on the breed in England and had brought scores of the animals north of the border in a matter of days.He had been praised by animal lovers - who pledged almost £17,000 to keep him on the road.But last month he faced a major backlash when Kilo was gunned down in the Calderwood area, with rescue sources saying he had not taken enough care to rehome the animal.A woman was reported to prosecutors with offences relating to the dangerous Dog Act, while horrified locals told how they heard several blasts and a dog yelping.Wilkinson claims video evidence shows the animal was under control when it was shot and says he will petition the UK and Scottish Governments for change following a string of dog deaths during police incidents across the country - including the killing of another XL Bully named Zeus in Hamilton in January.He
