Let Lennox Live

I was browsing the page of my favorite public figure - Beast, the Prince of Facebook when I came across a comment about the misfortune of a dog in need of help. He is Lennox from Belfast City in the country of Ireland.
          
I was only able to read some paragraphs of  the articles about him at http://www.savelennox.co.uk/.  I dared not to continue reading.  I became emotional with his plight.
        
Truly, I can’t imagine how on earth did men of higher intelligence were able to condemn such an innocent creature without due process.
        
I respect laws. I am a law-abiding citizen of my country. Although laws are not all good at all times hence, the amendments by legislators or lawmakers.
        
However, in the case of Lennox, I cannot understand such cruelty and injustice.  My heart goes for him. I believe he doesn’t deserve such an ugly treatment to him.
        
The dog warden obviously demonstrated how incompetent he is for using only a tape measure to determine a dog’s breed.  Why, is it possible that dogs with the same parents can be of different breeds? Why is he different from Diesel, his late brother who died of cancer?
        
And the concerned authorities should have at least shown compassion or consideration to the foster family so as not to mistreat him in their own territory. 
        
Based on those posted testimonials on Lennox, he is a lovable dog.  For me, he deserves to be freed and let him live with the love of his family.
        
Breed Specific Legislation, to the eyes of a layman like me  who is not adept with such law, is obviously breed discrimination.  I think the author/s of that legislation failed to realize that the way animals behave toward people   is based mainly on the men’s treatment to them. If they are cared and loved, they give back love hence, if they are abused or mistreated, they learn harshness and cruelty.
        
An implemented law, perfect (if such exist) or not, may also have a “hidden clause” that prevails when sound judgment is called for. 
        
Laws are laws. Some can be justified and amended to exemplify resonance especially in the lives of law-abiding citizens.
        
With Lennox being cared and loved, I believe without any offense meant to the authorities of Belfast City and Ireland,  that no law has been defied, not even their Breed Specific Legislation. He truly deserves to live, right?
        
So if  you're someone with a heart for creatures like Lennox, please show support...visit the page for him HERE or better, let your little voice be heard at http://www.savelennox.co.uk/
        
May the concerned authorities hear the little voices resounding from the different parts of the globe…each hoping that justice will prevail and Lennox be SAVED!
