I will boycott this country and all products from it. Since Northern Ireland is part of England, that boycott means Great Britain, too. Whereas the Queen of England is the head of the Anglican church, that boycott should extend to the products of all Anglicans and Episcolians; however, carried to that extreme would make me as sick as the Belfast City Council and the lead court in Northern Irleand. Sufice it to say, I am boycotting everything from Northern Ireland Here, hear Giula!! Thank you.
Florence, ITALY Your immoral racial laws and your decision to kill the innocent dog Lennox because of his looks (not of his breed, since he was tested and resulted neither pitbull nor pitbull mix) and despite the official licence that should have allowed him to live, caused me to decide to never visit your country, to never buy anything from your country, and to boicott the image of your country by spreading the (documented!) news about your immoral deeds and laws to all people I know and may know in the future, until the day when your country will delete that shameful law and start a steady course agains anything, either legal or illegal, that could lead to more senseless kills. Until that day, shame on you and your country
As usual, the innocent, animals and children, are the victims of ignorant, arrogant adults...There should be a new animal shelter in Belfast in honor of Lennox...
I have been so upset by this story from the beginning, and thought maybe, someone on the BCC might show some intelligence and caring for an innocent family pet...I am so sad that someone took his life...what about the theory that Lennox was killed a long time ago??? Could have some validity. I will NEVER go to Belfast, and believe they should pay dearly for their horrible actions, that includes the Olympics. Shame on you BCC, go to the devil.
Just changed my vacation, will be visiting the republic only this year.
If 'Dispatches' ch4 recieve enough e-mails they will investigate BCC !! get typing ! dispatches@channel4.co.uk
Boycotting Belfast and the Olympics is casting too wide a net over the issue which should be laser-focused on the BCC and other parties who operated an illegal seizure, probable mistreatment and killing of Lennox. There should be an outcry and demand that the BCC and parties be accountable to someone or a higher authority. How they could have refused to respond to First Minister Peter Robinson is beyond belief. The Councillors are elected officials.To whom are these people accountable?
Something is just not right, with this story about Lennox. Why would they not give the owners rights to see their beloved dog? Why all the plea's ignored ? Thinks Lennox was put down, months ago !!
Why was Natural Justice really denied? l don't think the truth is being told here by the BCC.. Why were the family denied visitation rights, the right to say good bye to there beloved pet? And to top it of they are sending Lennox ashes to the family in the mail.. Despicable! Was Lennox emaciated that bad is this why they keep him from his family? As for The BCC comments on Lennox being unpredictable and aggressive, do you honestly think the people around the world believe you. Have a good look at the photo's with " Dog Catcher" & the Video of Alexander Lightfoot.. not an ounce of aggression in him! So why the Conspiracy? Why wasn't the family allowed to have the collar back? The council need to be sacked, you denied Lennox Natural Justice. Alexandra Lightfoot needs to be charged she has committed a crime "PERJURY" and her lies... l hope the family sue BCC. this was a sheer Malice, Vexatious, Maladministration, Misfeasance, Malfeasance so much more! Lennox was not put down humanely he was murdered. by the BCC... Wrongfully id by a "Dog Catcher" with no experience..Self proclaimed experts l bet they taught them self of the internet like the Qld Australia Animal control officers did. R.I.P. Lennox... Condolences to the Barnes Family..xox.
@ ripbrown I don't know anyone who cares about animals who isn't concerned about how other animals are treated. However, if you cannot see the difference between a COMPANION animal, whom most people regard as family, and animals that people raise as food.......
I invite anyone who feels greatly wronged by this tragedy to ask why they do not extend this same concern to the poor animals who live in horrendous conditions to feed us and dogs like Lennox. I'm not saying we should be vegetarians, but seriously, why the double standard?
BCC - such arrogance, cruelty, and stupidity. Citizens of Belfast should all hang their heads in shame. This is an event that will never be forgotten.
Sorry but I'm coming to Belfast in Set-Oct. this year after years of wanting to but protecting my family in previous visits!
