Belfast dog warden terrorized as ‘Save Lennox’ the dog campaign continues

Not mentioned is that her son was in the pub at the time he was attacked, as she has stated on other interviews. Everything seems to be being blamed on the Lennox campaign, I believe it is just to try discredit the whole thing!

Sounds like extremists on both sides of the issues are using this case to "battle it out". Both sides could use their resources for a larger problem. They should make an exception for this one dog and go after whoever is cross breeding, causing problems like this one.

I have 3 bulldogs, 2 American/English bulldogs, and 1 full english bulldog. I have had trouble getting my registered in my city because the vet only said "bulldog" on the paperwork and "Pitbull Terriers" are also banned in my city. My dogs would rather lick you and be petted than anything else in the world. Mix breeds should NOT be included in a ban!

What's next, people jailed for not looking right? Oh, wait...

So Pugsmom is sorry for Yolanda's disabled son who was beaten up by a stranger who supports the Free Lennox campaign AND he is equally sorry for the dog. Everything would be OK if the dog was given back to its family. I repeat what I said before. ...."Hate-filled thugs look for a scapegoat who they can abuse in a "socially acceptable" way. They are NOT acting out of concern for animals, still less for human beings."

Violence is not going to solve the problem, and those who are targeting people with the violence need to realize they are hurting the cause, not helping. Perhaps Lennox's family could speak out against such tactics. With that said, while I'm sorry you and your family have been targeted unfairly, it is no less than what BCC has done to Lennox and his family. Perhaps you have been given the gift of seeing this and will do what you can to reunite Lennox with his family. The whole world is watching Belfast, do the right thing.

So, just give the dog back to the family!! What the hell is the problem....are the authorities holding on to Lennox, now, out of some lame brained sense of power, or "we're the bosses and we're going to prove it" attitude? I am sorry for Yolanda and her family, but equally so for this poor dog and HIS family! Just admit you're wrong, Belfast City "authorities" and release the poor puppy to his rightful owners!!

I would like to say to Yolanda if you are reading this. I would like to offer my appologies on behalf of the "Save Lennox" campaign... I am a supporter of the campaign, it has become close to my heart, however the kind of people which do things as you describe are shunned within us and have been told to stop their actions wither they be physical or simply writing comments on social sites by the family and other supporters alike! I can assure you that the VAST majority of "Save Lennox" supporters can do so peacefully and without the need for violence or threats. Once again, appologies on behalf of us all and I hope you can find peace and safety soon without all this rubbish going on with you getting targeted. -K x

"Ellwood had received a petrol-soaked letter, had her car tires slashed and the window of her home smashed in. She also told the Belfast Telegraph that her disabled son was beaten up and left with a black eye by a stranger who supported the free Lennox campaign." .............. This kind of public hysteria - usually generated by the media - is becoming commonplace. It has been used for years to target prisoners who have served sentences for sex crimes and is now being extended to people who have committed no offence at all. Hate-filled thugs look for a scapegoat who they can abuse in a "socially acceptable" way. They are NOT acting out of concern for animals, still less for human beings.
