I guess innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply to dogs then... Run free Marty. x

I hope you dont mind but here is a petition against Breed Specific Legislation. epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/91and here is a link that tells you about BSL and some of the dogs who have been affected by this law, you can see where to support them and help put an end to this law if it is something you feel strongly about. www.animal-rights-action.com/breed-specific-legislation.htmlI am so sorry about Marty hugs and kisses sweet boy xxxx

He actually looked like a JRT/staff cross to me. I know of a dog Lennox who has been imprisoned for a few years now. They took him but not his sister because his jaw was a bit larger and fitted in the measurements they deem dangerous. He is actually part labrador. #savelennox I am so sad

This made me feel unbelievably sad that a healthy and behaviourally sound dog could be sacrificed in this way. So I have joined the campaign 'Deed Not Breed'. Please click the link at the beginning of this thread to join.

Well done in joining deed not breed. I hope this gets changed before too many more lives are lost. Lennox's court date is coming up may 24th so it will be interesting to keep an eye on that. Have a look for SAVE LENNOX on the web. Don't forget to sign the petition I posted earlier everyone who wants to-let's not let these dogs die in vain RIP Marty xxxx

I remember reading about the crazy situation poor little Lennox has been subjected to and signing a petition for him.
I've signed the petition you posted, Claire, but how do we join this campaign?

Poor guy, that's just awful, he was such a sweetie. Know I'm preaching to the converted here but any dog in the wrong hands can be dangerous. Unfair he is blamed for the stupid actions by macho people. There are some human "types" I'd like to put down

this breaks my heart. I had a pitbull terrier (going back 25 years) when i was 3 and she was so sweet and gentle. They get such a bad press and dint even get given a chance. i went to a conference with a charity and there was a police officer speaking about dangerous dogs and as long as the dog can be assessed, it can be kept as a pet it had to be castrated and tatooed to say that it has passed their inspection. Its so sad and tragic that Marty wasnt given this chance, just as he had been 'typed'. The point was raised that every dog can be dangerous and this can be true, especially in the wrong hands. Poor Marty, this doesnt change a thing for him and its so heartbreaking. RIP Marty, your in a place now where you wont be judged xxxxxx <3

I have known a few pit bulls over the years (obviously all illegally kept family pets ) and none of them have ever been anything other than very sweet. This type of thing makes me really cross as Marty didn't even look like a pit bull. Dogs are so mixed and muddled up and if they behave well, let them carry on doing that and let's have a change in the law! *rant over* Poor Marty!

Hi everyone, With the outcry about the Lennox court result there has been a bit of an outcry among the public. I know some people wanted to know what they could do about to stop BSL, well I found a facebook group which seems quite helpful suggesting email the Prime minister and what petitions to sign etc. I will post more when I find out more! www.facebook.com/GetTheGovernmentToDebateBreedSpecificLegislationLove Claire x
