Reader Joel sent me this note regarding Lennox, which I thought many of you would be interested in reading: One thing I've been wondering...where are all the BSL advocates to stand up and take ownership of this? This is a ideal situation for them, as the process as done everything that strict BSL is supposed to do, … Continue reading BSL Advocates Seem to Have Disappeared After Lennox’s Killing, Check Under Local Rocks

Belfast City Council: One Final Lie about Lennox
Lennox has not "been humanely put to sleep", as the Belfast City Council puts it, nor has he been "put down", "euthanized" or any other euphemism. Lennox was killed. This is exactly why we call it the No Kill Movement and not the No Humane Putting to Sleep Movement. No kill advocates are for true … Continue reading Belfast City Council: One Final Lie about Lennox

Goodbye Lennox
Many of you have been supporting the efforts to save Lennox, a mixed breed dog in Belfast, seized under the Dangerous Dog Act, two years ago. Lennox was seized not because he bit someone, nor because anyone complained about his behavior. He was seized due to body measurements taken by a pair of dog wardens. … Continue reading Goodbye Lennox
Amnesty and Killing – They Just Go Together
In Australia, the towns of Campbelltown and Wollondilly place heavy restrictions on owners of Pitbull type dogs. The city councils are concerned that some owners may not be in compliance with the law and are keeping Pitbulls they haven't registered. As such, and in response to the tragic death of a child who was killed … Continue reading Amnesty and Killing – They Just Go Together
At least we won’t have to wait for a “thorough investigation” on this one…
Last Tuesday, a Charlotte Pitbull owner lost his dog Diesel when a repairman left the gate open in Diesel's yard. The owner, Joe Gibson, immediately started searching for Diesel.

Friday Feel Good
Would these two dogs - one a Pitbull and the other a Rottweiler mix - be banned in your town? If so, they wouldn't be able to save any babies from drowning like they did in Australia in 2007. A 2 year old boy apparently wandered on to a neighbor's property and into a dam … Continue reading Friday Feel Good
Cesar Millan’s “Junior” is Canine Non Grata in Ontario
The ignoramuses behind Ontario's Pitbull ban grant exemptions for show dogs but not for Cesar Millan's dog "Junior" who could actually teach them a thing or two about Pitbull behavior. Millan is currently on a speaking tour of Canada and his appearances normally include live training demonstrations with Junior. But when he came to Ontario … Continue reading Cesar Millan’s “Junior” is Canine Non Grata in Ontario
San Bernardino Co Set to Ban Intact Pitbulls
The reasons I thought most people opposed breed specific legislation are basically that it doesn't solve whatever problem spurred its proposal and that it unfairly singles out a particular breed (or breeds). It's not unusual to see comments such as this from those opposed to BSL: With proper training and attention, pit bulls can be … Continue reading San Bernardino Co Set to Ban Intact Pitbulls
