SAVE LENNOX
SAVELENNOX.CO.UK.... SAVE LENNOX FROM EXECUTION
ANOTHER LENNOX VIDEO
Tonight at 7 pm on CNN HLN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell is going
to be interviewing Caroline Barnes. Caroline is the dog mom of Lennox, in
Belfast Ireland.
Lennox’s story is
a sad one but hopefully with any luck and a lot of prayers the ending to this
chapter of his life will be a happy one.
Lennox is a 7 year
old American Bull dog Labrador cross, On may 19th 2010 the dog
wardens of Belfast showed up at Caroline Barnes home in Belfast. The wardens
had tea with Caroline, chatted, played with Caroline’s other dogs and smoked a
few ciggerettes before they turned there attention to a dress makers tape
measure. The wardens then procided to measure Lennox’s muzzle and rear legs.
Based on thouse two measurements they decided that Lennox was a “pit bull type
breed” and seized by the Belfast City Council Dog Wardens. Lennox was ripped
from his loving family and his other kennel mates.
That was over
two years ago, Lennox’s family has done more then required by the law as
responsible fog owners, who also foster dogs for various Northern Ireland dog
shelters. When Lennox was a puppy his owners had him neutered, licensed,
insured, DNA registered, Pet Safe registered and micro chipped and although the
Belfast City Council have issued a dog licence for Lennox for the last five
years and continue to do so today, the Council now find the need to class him
as a Pit Bull type dog and murder him. On the day Lennox was ripped from his
family home the Belfast City Council issued his owner with a warrant of seizure
which was incorrectly addressed and was for another location, furthermore the
Council used the ADBA Inc (American Dog Breeders Association Incorporated)
breed standards guide to help identify Lennox as possible Pit Bull type.

| LORD PLEASE LET ME LIVE |
Lennox’s owners have only been contacted once by the
Belfast City Council and this was two hours after Lennox had been taken. One of
the Dog Wardens who seized Lennox telephoned Lennox’s owner to say “If you do
not sign him over to us to be destroyed then you will most certainly lose your
job as we will force a prosecution upon you through the courts.” On many
attempts the family have telephoned the Council’s Dog Control Manager but to
date the Manager has never taken the families call or returned any calls.
Lennox’s family have never been told where he is being kept, what condition he
is in, what type of care, feeding or regular exercise he receives.
. A global campaign which boasts hundreds of thousands of
supporters and petition signatures has begun in support of Lennox’s freedom.
The ADBA Inc, various Animal Rights groups, Animal Welfare organisations,
Veterinarians, Dog Breed and Behaviourist Experts have all gave their support
for Lennox’s freedom and many supporters who are regular tourists to Northern
Ireland have went further to state they will not return to Northern Ireland
until Lennox is returned to his home. The most heartfelt plea of all was heard
from Brooke, the owners eleven year old Daughter who is registered disabled.
Lennox grew up around Brooke and the two became inseparable. Due to Brooke’s
illness she is unable to play each day with other children and so found Lennox
to always be there as a playmate and someone to be of comfort to her. Since her
best friend was taken Brooke has missed much School due to suffering health and
unneeded stress caused by missing her dog. Brooke’s specialist Doctor at
Belfast Royal Hospital for Sick Children has also expressed growing concern for
the child’s separation from her pet.
People from all
around the world have joined the fight over the last two years to free Lennox.
Cesar Mulian has steped up and offered to take Lennox back to the United States
to live with cesar as his personal and forever dog. But still the city of
Belfast has denied the request. I have heard rumors that a large amount of
money that would be made to as a donation to the city of Belfast in exchange
for Lennox (again having him leave the country) was again denied.
Theres 100,000s
of people all over the world fighting for this dog’s life to be speared. This dog
did nothing wrong, he wasn’t aggressive, the neighbours didn’t call the cops on
him for barking, he never bit anyone. He did nothing wrong other then “look” a
certin way. If he was a person this would be rasisum or discrisumanation but it’s
a dog and the city of Belfast thinks it’s ok to do what they want beucase it’s
just that A DOG.
But it’s not
just A DOG, theres a family out there
crying for their family member to come home to them. There is a world out there
who is outraged that this has happened. There are petitions to free Lennox, to
have a vet check Lennox over to see what his health condition is, petitions for
the Barnes family to see their dog who they haven’t seen or been given any up
dates on his condition since the day he was led away from there home by the dog
wardens. People all over the world have come forward offering new homes for
Lennox, offering the family money to help pay for the court costs. People ALL
over the world are watching and marching. Their was a protest in Belfast and
New York City, One that was being put together for here in Toronto Ontario but
we fear it’s too late now.
The family was
denied their request to say good bye to their beloved pet before he’s put to
sleep, or murdered as some people are calling it. They asked if they can have
the remains of their pet back to give him a proper barial again they were
denied that right. But they were told they would receive some ashs in the mail
in a few weeks.
Could you
imagine losing every right to your beloved family member, YOUR dog, YOUR best
friend, YOUR family member YOUR companion, YOUR buddy, YOUR properity.
It’s not right, it hasn’t been right since the first day
the dog wardens showed up to take Lennox. It’s been over two years now and this
poor dog has been sitting in a dog jail cell because he’s become eveidence in a
court case. All that waiting and bordom the heart ache and physical pain that
poor dog must have gone though and all the while not knowing why hes not with
his family and why hes not at his home and praying to go home and wondering if
he will get to go home and see his family again!!!

| NO ONE HAS FORGOT YOU MICHAEL VICK YOU SICK BASTER AND WE WONT FORGET BELFAST |
I have been following this story for a long time now. It
makes me sick to my stomach and I have shed so many tears for Lennox and his
family. I have joined in and lit candles for his safe return, my dogs wear blue
collars and banadans to show their support I have blue ribbons on my car and
house to again show my support. I fear that everything everyone around the
world has worked so hard for is all in vain. I fear that Lennox is no longer
with us, But that’s not going to stop a quarter of a million people from
fighting for the cause. This should have never been allowed to happen and it
should never be allowed to happen AGAIN!
I’m sorry that today’s blog isn’t the usual happy funny
blog that makes you laugh but this is something I strongly believe in. And if
you my readers don’t agree that’s ok, that’s your opinion but if you do please
go to the Save lennox web page, Last I heard so many people were trying to get
on to sign the petition that the site went down, there are other ways you can
help though, Google save lennox and all of his sites come up. You can also join
his facebook page to show your support and get information and updates on his
case.

I'm trying to prepare myself for the news that ... Lennox won't be going home but if he has been put down it will break my heart. He's not my dog, he's not my friends dog, but he's a dog who did nothing wrong and is being killed becuase of some bullshit politics.
When huricane katerina hit and people were told they had to leave their pets behind. My Dad was the first one at our table to yell out you would have to shoot me to make me leave my dog. You either take us both or Shoot me cause im staying with my dog one way or the other.
PLEASE PLEASE DON"T GIVE UP ON ME DON"T LET ME DIE PLEASE PLEASE
KEEP FIGHTING FOR ME
