Bruce’s fate still undetermined

Bruce, a dog seized in Northern Ireland as being of the Pit Bull type, is still awaiting the appeal on his death
sentence.
The case was originally heard at Bangor Magistrates Court on 27th August, where Dr Mugford gave
evidence stating that Bruce was merely a friendly Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Unfortunately the Magistrates’ concluded that Bruce was of the type and ordered his destruction.
However, Bruce’s owner is appealing this decision and following a brief hearing on the 12th November,
the case has been listed for mention on 12th January 2009 at which time a date for the appeal will be fixed.
Sadly for Bruce this means he’ll be spending more months incarcerated in kennels.

this is bruce his website,please go see it.

there are pictures from him and a u-tube clip where you can meet sweet bruce.
REMEMBER he did NOTHING wong,did not growl,attacked or biten anyone.
he will be killed just because he is a pit.

i contacted my bruce contact and this is what she emailed me.

Dear Nathalie,

Yes, Bruce is still in danger--his owner cannot obtain insurance for him and so she is urgently looking for a
rescue for him and has only got until the 29th of June or he will be put down!
This is so frightening--after all he and his family have been through.
If you can help Shannon to find somewhere safe for Bruce to live and be loved, that would be wonderful.
Thank you for checking back.
I live in Wisconsin, US so don't have any contacts that could help in southern Ireland--
but the sooner he is moved to safety the better.
This is the bebo for Bruce and if you post to this bebo, Shannon will get the message.
Please spread the word that Bruce needs rescue!


Thank you!

Margaret Reno
