Sad news for Bruce in Northern Ireland
Two weeks after the trial on 27th August, Bruce's owner was back in Bangor Magistrates' Court today, 12th September, to hear the judgment on her dog that would seal his fate. Unfortunately, after hearing evidence from both the defence (Dr Mugford and colleague Raymond Crilly) and prosecution, the Magistrates concluded that Bruce was of the type known as the Pit Bull Terrier and thus should be destroyed. As the 1997 Amendment Act was not incorporated into the Dangerous Dogs Act in Northern Ireland, if a dog is found by the courts to be of a banned breed then it shall be destroyed. Bruce's owner was understandably upset by this news and has lodged an appeal against the judgment. So for now, poor Bruce will remain in kennels and a date will be set for a chance for his owner to contest the destruction order.
Please if you haven't already signed, please sign.

Have they tried getting their plight into the media to drum up support.? How awful for the family and poor Bruce.

I'm not sure, I just keep spreading the word hoping it will be of some good. I hate the idea of an animal needlessly losing it's life

I signed this petition and now feel sick reading this latest piece of news,when I saw the state of the wee guy I felt his poor owners should be seeking action against those who are supposed to be taking care of him,he looks like a dog needing rescued now,and he looked beautiful before,god if theres any justice in the world let him be saved.
