It was just reported on the Examiner, that folks are calling up BCC to request confirmation of Lennox's death and the staff is making pig noises in the phone or sheep's noises and saying he is just a dog. So you tell me, who's abusive. The world is mourning and they are doing this the morning after his death??? Pretty much confirms mistreatment for the dog. I so hope the owners can sue these people.
The hate mail is wrong, goes against the campaign! I think people threatening anyone are not true Lennox Cause followers. The true followers are trying to dig inside those people's hearts to get Lennox free! But something that is nagging at me is the real reason why no one is allowed to se him, not even a vet?What are they trying to hide? Is he emaciated? Or is he still alive? Has anyone, outside the pound seen him lately?
DOG WARDEN TERRORIZED???? FUNNY THAT, WHAT ABOUT POOR LENNOX AND HIS FAMILY,WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT FROM THE AUTHORITIES???????
Just cruelty beyond belief...... you need to seriously think what you are doing...
At the end of the day Ireland you NEED to admit you are WRONG and let LENNOX free.He did nothing and never has and, anyone can see he is a labrador foremost with american bulldog in him so why do u still feel it necessary to confine him in the most inhumane barbaric conditions where,he is suffering immensly.HE'S DONE NOTHING.THE OWRLD IS WATCHING YOU.THERE WILL BE UPROAR IF YOU GO THROUGH WITH THIS RIDICULOUS KILLING FOR NO REASON.HE IS INNOCENT OF EVERYTHING AND NEVER EVER DONE ANYTHING.....
It's wrong to single out any one person in this outrageous act. Lennox should of been released long ago. Even this report states "...because it is was thought to be a pit bull type, which is untrue." To the person who post under the name "Pittsburghkid"...WTH? Didn't you read this? Are you just "trolling" for anything "pitbull" so you can spread your lies? Read before you post, ya jackass!
Hi, I am from Germany, supporting Lennox. I never had any reply to my e-mails from Mrs. Yolanda Elwood about Lennox. I was wondering why she is not able to answer the e-mails because this has to be her job as well, except taking innocent dogs from families. She is the dog wardens boss, why would she denie to be, this whole thing stinks to heaven. She stated that it was too stressful to let the family see his dog? I am sorry, but does a Yolanda Elwood really care about Lennox not being stressed? He is locked up in a dark and tiny kennel for 11 months now, and that is her fault, and she cares for the dog? I would fall off my chair laughing if it wasn't so sad and outrageous. The whole story is a drag, and there is no way out of it except letting Lennox go home and admit to be wrong. Northern Ireland is on its way down, that is for sure.
Recieved a petrol soaked letter that should say.Typo city when I'm this mad
To add to my previous posts about this Yolanda Ellwood is the dog warden manager who oversees the wardens who took Lennox.As far as I am aware she was not the warden who claimed to have released a petrol soaked letter because different woman was questioned about that on a radio show. If Ellwood had nothing to do with Lennox how come she is the one who has repeatedly refused to let the family or the family vet visit him? "Wed Jul 07, 2010 3:36 pm Just had a reply from Yolanda Elwood today regarding visitation to Lennox. Elwwod states that allowing our Daughter and ourselves to visit Lennox would be far to stressful for him!" That is what Ellwood has been doing and that is a direct quote. The dog wardens do not go willy nilly applying for warrants to take dogs and that woman is their boss,so I'd say she had a lot more to do with it than she is willing to admit.Not only that she outright lied by presenting herself as just a dog warden when she is not. We have still had no reports to confirm any police action,reports or case numbers involving any of the alleged attacks,threats or incidents. I know she has recieved a hell of a lot of emails about Lennox,as have other BCC staff.To those emails all anyone has ever had is a standard reply that she is out of the office. I cannot speak for everyone but the vast majority off Lennox supporters have emailed her asking why,how,what for,and supporting Lennox and his family.It was made very clear that nobody should be abusive in any way. So let's see the emails? Oh and by the way,the letter soaked in petrol either couldn't be produced or had been destroyed it was claimed in that radio interview. Anybody see a pattern here?
Oh and I do love dogs of any breed.
would the 30.000 or so, and the famous names not be better to stand up and be counted in trying to get peace back in the North of Ireland again, I bet not...
Kill the Pit Bull before it kills a human. These dogs are trained killers. If it bite your leg, the dog will continue to bite (with it's powerful jaws) until the bone is broken. In dog fights, there is only one bred, the Pit Bull. A Pit Bull will kill a wolf in a dog fight. Kill the Dog.
Cesar Milan IS A FIRST CLASS IDIOT AND MORON who uses physical restraint on dogs and should not be listened to. He is NOT kind person to animals. But it is sickening that this dog is being held by Belfast authorities and extremely cruel to put him on the euthanasia list. People can be so ignorant. Outrageous.
Over 40000 people have signed the online petition and the page on Facebook has over 30000 supporters. Note more on the petition than the page. This decision was wrong in its entorety but BCC cannot admit that and just let the dog go home.This week the family were back in court to find out how much they would have to pay for Lennox kennelling and food for the past year they have had him,and to lodge the appeal.BCC asked for £7000 in costs,the judge refused to give them any.And that says something.
I'd like to correct something.Yolanda Ellwood is not a dog warden who would have been involved with the removal of Lennox.She is a a dog control manager at Belfast City Council who very likely was. Having said that we have not seen any reports of involvement by the police in these alleged attacks,which as it stands is all they are.The letter soaked with petrol?It has never been said that was handed over to the police,nor have any of the other incidents. Maybe this paper can ask for police crime numbers on these incidents. I also strongly state that any legitimate supporter of Lennox is not involved in any of these alleged incidents. No proof has ever been shown or put forward for any of this.Unless and until it is these remain unsupported allegations. There have also been complaints about harrassment by email of BCC departments.One complaining that it had recieved over 80.Well,when you have tens of thousands of people supporting an unjust decision such as that taken in Lennox case you are going to get emails.Again I swould say that legitimate supporters have been stating the case,their objections and asked for some commonsense in this case.I cannot speak for everyone.I would suggest you do not believe all you read.
