“We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all again for your messages of support. We are sorry to say at the present time Belfast city council seem to be intent on killing our boy. 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.”

Belfast City Council (BCC) posted a statement on their site. It reads, “Belfast City Council confirmed today that the dog Lennox, an illegal pit-bull terrier type, has been humanely put to sleep…The Council regrets that the court action was necessary but would emphasize that the safety of the public remains its key priority.”

Despite the two year campaign to have the American Bull Dog/Lab-mix released and returned to his family and the 200,000 strong petition launched by “Save Lennox”, the city council stuck to their decision and killed the dog, however, the campaign doesn’t seem ready to let this rest.
