Description
"Lennox"This is Lennox.
The two top images are from when he was happy and with his owners.
Left showing him as a puppy, in his best friend/owner's arms, a disabled little girl who loved him.
Right shows him as an adult being a normal happy dog chewing on a bone his family had given him.
At the bottom, the mood is different, it fades from a happy yellow to a serious red.
This is when he was taken away from his home for merely looking like a "pit bull terrier type"even though he was an American Bulldog Lab mix. Under BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) Act a law that makes it illegal to own a pit bull.
He was being assessed for his behavior here.
They would later deem him a vicious dog, even though he had never had any history of aggression, his behavior assessment video leaked, and showed him wagging his tail, licking the assessor's faces, and sitting for treats.
The Belfast City Council in Ireland took him away from his
family after he had lived with them for 7 years.
He would stay there, they wouldnt let the owners visit, they wouldnt let them know of his location, or even of his care
or health.
Photo's leaked of his situation.
He was being kept in a too small concrete square filled with saw dust (which isnt healthy for dogs) sitting in his own waste. He also had large patches of missing fur/wounds all over his body.
This alone is sign of animal cruelty and lack of veterinary care.
Here he would stay in a legal battle for two years as his owners and people all across the world tried to stand up for him. Even celebrities and experts like Cesar Millan from the tv series "The Dog Whisperer" on Nat Geo, and Victoria Stilwell from "Its Me or the Dog" on Animal Planet.
But still they would not relinquish Lennox.
He was killed unfairly on July 11th, 2012.
His family said:
"Despite previous assurances otherwise, we have been denied the opportunity to say goodbye. We have also been told that we cannot collect his body and bring Len home. We have been informed however that we will receive 'some' ashes in the mail."
This story needs more people to see, and know.
Please do not support BSL (Breed Specific Legislation),
you can help get and investigation started at the BCC (Belfast Cty Counsel) where Lennox was taken away kept and abused, by emailing the television show called "Dispatches" and ask for an investigation of the Belfast City Counsel, if enough people ask, they will do it.
So please email them here: dispatches@channel4.co.uk
We cant let them get away with all that they did, and we cant let it happen to any more dogs.

Its horrible what they do to dogs they think are aggresive. I think its stupid and wrong how they judge dogs by their breeds. Your picture really shows how innocent the dog was, and how it didn't deserve that treatment. Lennox will be remembered.

It's shit like this that just pisses me off. They took that poor dog unfairly, and then he was put throught hell just because he was deemed "agressive". I thinks that it's just so wrong to ban any breed just because they are prone to being agressive. Any breed can be agressive if they are treated inhumanely. And then, to murder a blaitintly non-agressive dog just because his breed seemed pit bull-like, arg! It's kind of like how in some states any pit bull, and in some states, German Shepherds, must be put to sleep on site if they are surrendered or confiscated into a shelter. It's just wrong.

Breed discrimination isnt so different from racism in my opinion... >.>
Its wrong, it doesnt solve anything, it doesnt make any sense, and i dont agree with it.

oh.
fuck these stereotypical people who try to control everything.if the dog is a family dog, and has absolutely no record of violence, why do they think they can take it. some insurence companys make you pay more for owning a pitbull, but they dont take it.

ikr?
Its wrong. I just got info that they threatened to sue Victoria Stilwell for being so open about the case. They are threatening her because they want her to be quiet about it.
You cant sue someone for telling the truth!
It just showes that they are trying to hide their folly!

Beautiful art...wonderful, powerful message. I too am heartbroken about Lennox, what the BCC did was criminal. They need to be brought to justice and pay for their unspeakable crime. It's outrageous to say the least and I for one was crossing my fingers that an "A.L.F" type group would just break in and get Lennox out. They can't just get away with this; their treatment of the family was revolting too. I feel so bad for them, especially the little girl.
Thank you so much for posting this and for the information too

Thank you. That story really tore me up.
I know, who steals and murders an innocent dog that
belonged to and was best friends with a disabled child??
What is A.L.F.?
Ofcourse. I had to spread the word.

Have you seen the latest news? The threats against Victoria Stillwell for being so vocal about the truth? I really feel the BCC is trying to cover something up here...I think they committed a horrific crime of animal neglect and torture in addition to just taking an innocent dog. More in this post: [link]
A.L.F stands for Animal Liberation Front (the "terrorists" that break into labs to rescue test animals etc) Whether one agrees with all their actions or not, it would've been awesome if such a group could have broken Lennox out.

No i didnt hear. Wow, they threatened to sue her to keep her quiet. You cant sue someone for telling the truth. Geez. They are really low and definitely trying to hide their folly.
Ah, i see, i had never heard of them before.
They sound similar to the Sea Shepherd.
It really would have been great if that had happened, I would have cheered.
Poor Lennox, we dont even have proof that he was alive before he was 'euthanized.'
I cant imagine what he went through. And other dogs in the same situation in that hellhole.
