Vaccinated Jedi Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 A family here in Belfast Northern Ireland had their American bulldog X Labrador X Staffordshire bull terrier "Lennox" wrongly taken from them just because it has been deemed that he's a "pit bull type" of dog, despite DNA tests proving there is not pit bull in him. More information can be found: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Lennox/125005200853097 And: http://www.savelennox.co.uk http://www.forum.savelennox.co.uk http://www.savelennoxblog.co.uk http://www.YouTube.com/savelennoxcampaign http://www.bebo.com/savelennox http://www.myspace.com/535679822 http://www.twitter.com/savelennox http://www.politicsni.wordpress.com http://www.petitiononline.com/sl190510/p... http://www.savelennoxpetition.co.uk Please Like their page and sign their petition. And ask friends and family to do the same. Quote
Viridian Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 This sounds so much like a spam post initially. Anyway, good luck! Quote
Tank Girl Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 HOW CAN THEY DO THAT?!?!?!!? I can't believe it!! I don't know what I would do if someone took Coelho my rabbit away from me, it must be the most horrible feeling to have your best friend taken away. I will do everything I can to help. I'm signing the petition now and I'll get the word out to everyone I know. This is a shocking abomination and needs as many supporters as possible. This sounds so much like a spam post initially. Anyway, good luck! Please actually look at the website. Quote
Viridian Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Hey, I'm a mod. I have to look at topic titles and the number of links and actual information in contains. I just said I almost flagged this as spam, except for the fact that it came from an active member :P I looked at the webpage. Don't take me for a dummy. Quote

Er, I didn't take you for a dummy I just said please look at the site. Did you look at it and sign the petition or did you just look at it to make sure it wasn't spam? Quote

Tank Girl Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Both, to be honest. You just really don't know these days. It annoys me when people spam on here. I'm always afraid I'm gonna get a virus if I accidentally click on it. Quote
Vaccinated Jedi Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks for your input guys! And I understand what you mean, Viridian. :) Quote
Awesome_Paul Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Done a bit of research on this before posting, looking at past news reports etc. 1) This dog is a companion for a 12year old disabled girl, why would you get her a American bulldog, it doesn't exactly seem like, you would think it be a gentler/lazy dog. Plus the owner even said Lennox's only issue is with strangers, which is when I would muzzle him. And hoping no one takes offense, people will say anything to prevent anything bad (how many people lie on CV, applications etc). 2) No matter how many signatures it gets, nothing will happen. Like every petition, disagreement etc, there are always a few idiots, when this was taken to court, the judge may have looked at the support etc, but instead there were some idiots (hold on, calling them idiots would make idiots look bad) who sent letters soaked in petrol, or slashed officers tires.

Rose_682 Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I wish you good luck, but I won't be signing. It's been a year, almost. There is no way of telling if the dog that was taken into custody would be the same dog they got back (temperment wise, or otherwise. Obviously it would PHYSICALLY be the same dog, but other than that, there is no telling). After all, it has spent almost a year in whatever Ireland's version of the pound looks like. Quote
Nekodeamos Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Now, I love Dogs, and Pit Bulls are one of my favorites, too. They're good dogs. But, when there are laws in place about what kind of animal you can and can't have, it's important to listen to those laws, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are, in fact, Pit Bull Type dogs. Whoever did the Genetic testing is bonkers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_bull Quote
ThisIsJ Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 This is sad, Pit Bulls are one of my favorite breeds of dogs and I really can't stand how people judge the dogs. Quote
