    XL bullies and other dogs are being forced to drag huge weights in bizarre strength competitions. <\/p>\n

    Disturbing footage from Thailand shows an enormous XL bully-type dog pulling a huge stack of weight along a short track. The massive animal strains and heaves, its entire being focused on moving towards its trainer who ushers and goads it towards them.<\/p>\n

    The weight it pulls reads 3,500, believed to be pounds, roughly the same as a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu or a fully grown giraffe. Once it has finished pulling the weight the dog appears to relax, but has marks that look like scaring on its elbow joint.<\/p>\n

    It appears the practice is carried out in the UK too, with a page on the UK Bully Kennel Club dedicated to the \u201cweight-pulling championship\u201d.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cWe are happy to be at the forefront of the reincarnation of the UK weight-pulling competitions,\u201d the site reads. \u201cBelow we have explained pulling procedures, weight-pulling rules, classes and titles that can be earned throughout a season within the UKBKC weight-pulling Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The competition says it is in association with Gator\u2019s Weight Pulling Group, which in turn claims to be the \u201chome of the weight pull in England\u201d. The competition offers a range of weight categories for dogs of different sizes, not dissimilar to weight categories for boxers.<\/p>\n

    Footage from the recently viral clip from Thailand has seen people in the comments raise a lot of eyebrows. \u201cIs this humane? Honestly asking,\u201d one person said. \u201cYeah we definitely don't deserve animals. Wtf is wrong with us bruh,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n

    Another simply put \u201cnot cool\u201d while another commented \u201cpoor boy\u201d. The Daily Star has reached out to UKBKC for comment on the competition. <\/p>\n
