We the undersigned
are demanding that Alexandra Lightfoot be removed from her post as Dog Warden with the Belfast City Council. Alexandra Lightfoot lied under oath in a court of law and played a major role in the destruction of Lennox a 7 year old American Bull dog Labrador cross.

Lennox had been misidentified as a pit bull type.
Dog Warden Lightfoot committed perjury by telling the Court that Lennox was a danger to the public and that she was afraid of him. Photographic evidence however shows Ms Lightfoot cuddling Lennox and showing no fear at all towards him. She must be held accountable for her actions and removed from her post as Dog Warden immediately.

Lennox'’s family did more than what was required by the Law and acted as responsible dog owners. Lennox was neutered, licensed, insured, and DNA registered, Pet Safe registered and micro chipped prior to his removal from his loving family. Belfast City Council had issued a dog licence for Lennox for the last five years with no hesitation in doing so at the time.

Over 200,000 supporters of Lennox throughout the world will be watching to see your actions. Please for once and for all do the honest and decent thing!

Lennox is dead. The black “pit bull type” canine became an internet sensation as authorities in Belfast prepared to execute him under the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1992, which outlaws such animals. Lennox was euthanized early Wednesday July 11th 2012 despite worldwide appeals from celebrities, including Americans who offered to find a new home for him in the U.S. The Barnes family were not allowed to visit Lennox before his death, or to be present for it; they learned first from a radio interviewer that the council order had been carried out. They haven’t been given their pet’s body, either; they have instead been told by city council that his ashes will be mailed to them.

The council has handled the whole affair very poorly.
The mistrust that the BCC has accumulated will be long lasting.
Lennox was born long after the laws against pit bulls were passed, and was the subject of three legal appeals, including one by the Court of Appeal for Northern Ireland, the UK exclave’s highest. More than two full years lapsed between the seizure of Lennox and his death.

The longstanding questions about the subjectivity and humanity of legislation banning particular breeds of dog are being renewed by Lennox’s case. Lennox was judged to be a pit bull after a brief physical inspection with a tape measure. A DNA test apparently indicated that Lennox is a mix of American bulldog and Labrador retriever, but the standard under the law is physical confirmation, not genetics. Lennox’s owner, Caroline Barnes, had complied with all of the city’s licensing and health laws.
There were never any complaints from neighbours about Lennox, and there is no evidence to suggest he ever bit anyone.
RIP dear Lennox ...we will fight on in your name to end the horror which is BSL.

Please make sure this lady who calls herself a dog warden never goes near another animal again. She deserves to be dismissed at once not only for her part in the destruction of dear Lennox based on her evidence which was a complete untruth. And to also lie under oath which is a direct slurr against God.....The truth WILL come out as indeed it already has started. Also why couldn't his dear body have been returned to his little owner, an innocent child who adored him. I think we all know...

THEY HIT LENNOX, WE HIT THEM.

Exactly. Pressure will make the rats jump ship and turn on eachother in attempts to save their own skin.

This is shocking and why should an innocent dog like Lennox suffer in the hands of this fucken bitch. She should have to answer for her actions ane lies that she told about this poor boy. My heart goes out to the family. R I P Darling Lennox and I hope your sapirit haunts this bitch.

Wow what a sad story, I can not understand this Woman at all! You can not claim to be afraid of a certain animal and then flip over and hug & cuddle the same animal? How Two-faced can you be? It is monstrous to handle a case like this, where is the proof that this dog ever molasted anyone? Nowhere to be found! This is not a normal case of animal missbehaviour this is a real WITCH HUNT ran by a Witch against Pitt bulls or Pitt bulls mixes. Well now the cat is out of the bag, why don't we put...

Well now the cat is out of the bag, why don't we put this BCC Dog Warden Lightfoot on a stake and set her on fire! At least we should take care that she is removed from her duties immediately and that she will never ever get the chance to perform in a simular capacity or in a simular Job! This woman is completely off her rockers! What a sad day for Humanity and even more that we all stood by and let this happen to this poor dog. A very Black Day for all of us! I will sign the petition Mila and I shall copy this comment on the petition page! It is high time that a higher court will prosecute this awful Dog Warden for her cruelty against poor Lennox and his owners.

I started to 'like' this...but no, I don't like what happened...do like your comment. Warden Lightfoot is not alone in the blame.

Kathy, I will be more than glad to stand by your side when "duty role" is called!! They ain't seen nothin' yet!!!! Lennox's legacy will live on in outstanding glory because it got the "ball rolling" to end BSL forever! There are too many ticked off animal lovers who need to take the courage to stand up and act!!!!! This is going to be a [personal goal of mine before I die (wipe out/eliminate BSL).
