Sometimes you loose all hope in humanity and wish for a gun.

Some of you might have heard about the two year on-going legal battle of a Northern Ireland family and their dog Lennox. Lennox was a cross between a Lab and a pit bull type dog. As a pup he looked more like a Lab but when he grew his head shape was that of a pitbull with Labby ears and snout. He was neutered, chipped and registered and trained as

Really really sad story! I am not a pet person, must confess, but respect and understand those who love their animals since I do love them as creatures of this world... I can't understand cruelty on animals... I really can't comprehend it...

With all the global matters going around... those people didn't have better things to do that pick on that family and their beloved dog... Sometimes administrations and governments have their priorities turned outside down... and the politically correct/ let's look good is a thing that can be so scary...

This story hurt me but I know it hurt you more. I am sorry dear! *hugs*

Thank you. You knwo these are just the events that make me loose more and more faith in humanity as a whole. Being an animal rights activist and working as a rescuer I have come across so many idiots that this case shouldn't have touched me as much as it did and yet it makes me so angry.
That dog had never bitten anyone, and yet his life was ended because of some rules and laws that were made hastily after severe and fatal bitings in the past.

Some of these pitbull type dogs can be dangerous, but most of them, who have been raised in loving surroundings are the best family pets ... gentle, loyal and cuddle-monsters to boot. All things you would normally look for in a dog. There are even cases in the US were former dog fighting Pitbulls have been re-homed into families and they show only gentleness and even avoid dog-dog or dog-human aggressiveness. That breed is just as dangerous at the other end of its leash - the human being.

I have no words. I had such hope the other day, when they agreed to look at everything again. I really thought it was their chance to save face and they would agree to let him be rehomed in the US. I hope their freakin' pet chihuahuas (or whatever cutesy-poo breed they no doubt own) eat their faces off. And I'm not even kidding. I have so much hate in me right now.

This broke my heart when I read it. For no reason a perfectly calm and submissive dog, a dog that has been trained to serve and help humans was put down??!?!

We the so call superior animal race are the worse in the animal kingdom! And yet we get away with everything. Aren't we suppose to be the civil ones? I guess not:(
