The Storm is Raging

Posted Thursday, July 12, 2012, at 5:44 AM

The rescue world has been sickened by the news that the council in Belfast has indeed destroyed Lennox. This is a dog that was confiscated from a loving family, held for two years in a government facility and despite countless pleas from independent rescues and high profile trainers, was killed because of the way he looked. This dog never had a complaint lodged against him but because of ignorance, he was killed.

These are the very real monsters walking among us. Tell me legislators and law enforcement: what is a fitting punishment for their very real crimes?

Breed Specific Legislation does nothing but sanction the real criminals!

RIP Lennox....

  • R.I.P. Lennox. Sad indeed. I hope the loss will make more people aware of the ignorance
