Her son Jack Lis was savaged to death by a monster dog called Beast in 2021.

Emma, 32, from Caerphilly, South Wales, said: “If backyard breeders still exist they’re going to create a new breed.

“And we could find ourselves in a few years in the same place.

“This is why Government can’t stop at a ban.

“They need to stop breeders abusing the system.”

Emma spoke at the launch of Lead — Local Environmental Awareness on Dogs — with Gail Jones, 64.

Her mum Shirley Patrick, 83, was killed by an XL Bully in Caerphilly last year.
