Belfast: Both Barrels

According to the latest news out of the sewage-encrusted wasteland that is Northern Ireland, the Belfast City Council put dog Lennox down after holding him hostage for two years of sham court hearings and clumsy lies.

Here's a quote from the official TheLennoxCampaign page --

Official Statement From Lennox's Family:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all again for your messages of support. We are sorry to say at the present time Belfast city council seem to be intent on killing our boy. Despite previous assurances otherwise, we have been denied the opportunity to say goodbye. We have also been told that we cannot collect his body and bring Len home. We have been informed however that we will receive "some" ashes in the mail.



Keep in mind that poor Lennox was a service dog to a special needs little girl. Keep in mind the Belfast City Council (spelled 'Baby-stomping Nazi bastards') dragged this whole wretched mess out for two years, while they kept Lennox in a despicable little wire cage surrounded by his own feces (and yes, there are photos).


In the end, the Belfast City Council wouldn't even let the Barnes family say goodbye. 


I suppose the Belfast City Council's offhand promise to mail 'some' of Lennox's ashes to his grieving family counts as rare fine charity in merry old Belfast. I imagine each member of the Belfast City Council (I want to make sure Google remembers what the Council is destined to be most famous for, thus the repetition of the words Belfast City Council) was teary-eyed and filled with pride when they magnanimously offered to mail the innocent dog's remains to the grieving little girl.


I suspect they'll send the envelope postage due.


Send it postage due, and then levy charges against the Barnes family for 'storing illegal dog-breed ashes' or something equally inane.  This is, after all, the Belfast City Council we're talking about. 


Because that's the kind of cruel, sadistic, unfeeling, vindictive, unreasoning, cold-hearted, psychopathic, puppy-murdering, bloodthirsty, evil-minded, rotten, despicable, worthless, cowardly, vicious execrable foul vile depraved repugnant malodorous inhumane barbarous stinking hateful reprobate maleficent bags of crap that make up the Belfast City Council.

I'm not even doing them justice in the paragraph above. They snatched some kid's dog after showing up at the wrong address, they decided Lennox was a pit bull when his Belfast-issued license and a DNA test clearly showed he was a perfectly legal 7 year old bulldog/lab mix, and then they kept the poor dog in a cage until they murdered him, two years later, with an offhand note saying 'Nope, no goodbyes, we'll mail you some ashes, are we good now?'


How do you even convey the depth of such blatantly cruel behavior?


I suspect that Lennox either died in his deplorable confinement or was put down months ago. I suspect the Belfast City Council was afraid to reveal this, after the media firestorm surrounding Lennox became apparent to even their dim, ratlike little minds.


Internationally-renowned dog trainer Victoria Stilwell recently traveled to Belfast with an offer to take Lennox away to the US at no expense whatsoever to the Belfast City Council.


The Belfast City Council refused to even speak with Victoria Stilwell. Consider that for a moment -- fat-headed career politicians refused to cavort in front of cameras. With a celebrity. Does anyone else find that strange?


I suspect they refused for two reasons -- first, not one of the Belfast City Council members is capable of completing a sentence without lapsing into a violent alcoholic rage. And second, because they knew Lennox was already gone. Lennox's ill-treatment was apparent in the few photographs leaked from his pathetic quarters. I believe Lennox died through abuse and/or neglect, and that's why the Belfast City Council refused to meet with Miss Stilwell or let the Barnes family say goodbye. 


They'd already killed the dog.


Which makes them liars as well as heartless villains.


It's too late to help Lennox. Unless the legacy of his horrific mistreatment at the hands of the Belfast City Council, the ignoramus judges, and the truly incompetent 'dog experts' that made up the whole wretched tale causes some change in the dark heart of Belfast, Lennox will have died (badly) for nothing.


So, by all means, put Belfast at the top of your holiday destination list! Belfast, famous for its exports of boils and goiters, where the authorities are so friendly they'll quite possibly mail you the remains of your pets a couple of years after they murder them. 


Belfast, city of delights, if by delights you mean bloodthirsty dog wardens and a City Council bent on casual slaughter of all dogs, whether they are a prohibited breed or not. 


Belfast, where pride trumps reason, where compassion is something that happens elsewhere, where they'll mail you the ashes of the one you loved.


Belfast City Council, you people are rotten to the core.

  1. Times like this I, an atheist through and through, really really wish there *was* a Hell, and also a Doggie Heaven.

    I think a campaign would be good that would have everyone who is NOT planning EVER to visit Belfast (regardless of whether they ever would have anyway), sends the Belfast City Council a paper snail mail letter explaining exactly why they will never grace that place with one single penny of their hard-earned money, and signed with the hope that all those Belfast City Council members die of starvation after being banished alone to some forsaken Hell on Earth. So, if everyone would get behind that, we could bury the entire City of Belfast under 6 billion pieces of paper.

  2. Well done Frank--horrifically sad you had to write this at all...

    I, like so many, had signed every petition,emailed and messaged everyone-even the Queen, and made the requisite calls and pleas to anyone who would listen. All to no avail, because like you said Frank-Lennox had probably been killed or died from abuse months ago.

    I am including the link to the PDF of the 2011 appeal court statement, which includes that his captors were giving meds to Lennox: "...the dog has received medication for stress and depression..."

    There is a good chance that he was medicated to death, either from overdose or through side effects from whatever they were giving him-I wouldn't be at all surprised, but we may never find that out.

    The document is filled with lies and is upsetting to read. They tested and stressed the poor dog over and over, after tearing him from the only family he ever knew, then expected him to act meek and mild.

    And even through all that constant poking and prodding--Lennox NEVER BIT ANYONE-even though he had plenty of chances...

    To Belfast CC-I don't believe you have an iota of a clue of just what you have gotten yourself into. Be forewarned. We will not stand down....

  3. Thanks, Terry and D Zeus. I'm still so angry I can bareoly be coherent about Lennox. When I think of all the dogs aout there that don't have a chance, that don't have Victoria Stilwell or Cesar Milan trying to save them -- and then to learn that the Belfast City Council ignored Victoria and Cesar and all of us trying to help?

    Unfreakingbelievable.

    Thanks for you two though!
