Any word on the outcome of the hearing? I’ve been searching but I haven’t found any information!

I am totally stunned by this revelation. It amazes me that this amendment has been there all along and no one was aware of it. So many have suffered needlessly, and Bruce has been one of the latest victims. There is no excuse for ignorance to the law, and those that are responsible for putting Bruce and his family through all of this should be held accountable.

Unbelievable that the government of Northern Ireland has ignored it’s own laws and in the process killed innocent victims and put their families through the terrible pain of losing a loved one for no reason. I hope Irish law allows for Class Action Suits. This is one that needs to be brought against all those guilty in these cases by all of those who have been affected by their cruel disregard of the law! Now let’s get Bruce and any other dogs in this position home! Shannon, your persistence hopefully has not only saved Bruce, but many others like him. Thank you to you and everyone who has joined in your fight on behalf of all of the animals who will be saved because of you!

Northern Ireland has much apologizing to do to many sentients, human and nonhuman. This MUST be investigated to the nth degree as to why this was allowed to go on for so long. Ignornace of the law is no excuse. Did not Parliament write the BSL? If they did, then they knew what was in it. Too many innocent sentient lives as well as one human life has been taken because of this law and it is now time for Parliament to “pay the piper”. Bruce MUST BE RELEASED NOW, not in two months when Parliament reconvenes. Bruces’ medical bills, and there WILL BE MEDICAL BILLs, must be paid by Parliaments’ own pockets not the taxpayers. All sentients that are now on death row must be released to a “no kill shelter” or a rescue, or to their own families. Parliament can only make one decision now, as far as I am concerned. BAN THE BSL NOW AND FOREVER! And Bruce, I have cried many tears for you, my little lamb, and you are the POSTER CHILD FOR THE ANIMAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, in my humble opinion!

Hi Janet,

I am thankful for your input and community spirit in all this. To be told, you are not the first person to tell me that I should be a lawyer. Believe me, I wish I was a lawyer. However, I do try as best as I can to be an advocate of peaceful dissemination of information and potential peaceful solutions regarding many issues that concern us all. Truth be told, I do have a journalistic back ground that spans approx. 20 years. My journalistic interests bring me to the topics of environmentalism, animal welfare and social justice. Through my community, that is directly linked with Mary Alice Pollard and Maria Daines since 2005, we have collaborated on many ventures to bring comfort and peace to those less fortunate. Our concerns involve all life as we know it in this universe and our planet Earth. We continue to give the gift of giving of our time and talents as the need arises without reservation.

Best regards,

Paul

P.S. Paul Richmond – Lawyer – Has a nice ring to it. PEACE!

The Northern Ireland “Government” are not entirely to blame,it was not that long ago they had to be advised that toilet seats needed
a “hole” and could not be solid,so intelligence is not one of their
strong points.
Having said that there does seem no reason for them not to send Bruce
home to his family.
Maybe then they will have to face the consequences of all the poor
family pets they have murdered illegally.
In the future they should also consider ability to read and write an
essential qualification before someone is placed in a position of power.

SEND BRUCE HOME TODAY.
