Investigate Belfast City Council over Lennox case
We the undersigned are requesting an independent inquiry into Belfast City Council's (BCC) handling of Lennox, the Labrador/Bulldog, recently euthanised by BCC under the Dangerous Dogs Act (DDA).
Lennox was euthanised for being a "pit-bull type" of dog. DNA evidence to the contrary was not considered, nor was his history which was incident-free. We believe that BCC exploited the DDA without discretion for Lennox's history or consideration for external expert testimony.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
These are transferred matters and therefore the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive. It is also open to the public to consider if the Northern Ireland Ombudsman/Commissioner of Complaints might have a role in investigation of any reports of maladministration.
