RSPCA Speaks Out Over Death Row Dog, Bruce
July 10, 2009 by K9 Magazine News Editor
The RSPCA has added its voice to the growing outrage over the treatment of death row dog, Bruce, in Northern Ireland. The UK’s largest animal welfare charity said:
It is wrong that an entire breed of dog should be banned purely on the basis of its genetic make-up, without any consideration of an individual dog’s characteristics and temperament. (cont…)
The Dangerous Dogs (Amendment) Act 1997 was introduced in England and Wales so that the automatic death sentence on all pit bull type dogs was lifted. If Northern Ireland had adopted this amendment, many family pets identified as being pit bull types would be allowed to live out their life with their owners in accordance with the law. They would not be forced to spend their final days in kennels before being inevitably destroyed.
The RSPCA continues to campaign for the government to reassess its current dog legislation and shift emphasis from the four legs at the end of a lead to the two legs at the other. We want irresponsible owners to be held accountable for their actions, not their dogs
