And fortunately it's their decision we go by when deciding matters of law and not that of hysterical internet loons. We were so lucky that the our animal wardens identified Lennox as a danger to the public. This case shows residential areas just aren't the place for potential child shredders. If you're minded to own a dog, pick one appropriate to your domestic situation or move. Simples!

The concept of guilt or innocence could not in the legal sense be applied to it. It was dangerous. It was humanely destroyed in accordance with our laws and that's where the story ends.

Shame they did not manage to catch this one before it hurt a child. Just goes to show how lucky we are that the temperament of the Barnes illegal attack dog was discovered before it managed injure anyone.

A deficiency made all the more glaring by the bruhaha that accompanied his election. He will obviously enter the history books as the first black POTUS, but in every other respect he has proved to be something of a non event. That said, it looks very much as though he will be re-elected Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:55:44 +0000 http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/olympics-mitt-romney-backtracks-as-1-billion-get-ready-for-london-2012-showpiece-16190676.html#IDComment409902850 http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/mp-presses-executive-to-save-hms-caroline-16189376.html#IDComment409885346 The issue here is preserving an irreplaceable piece of UK naval history and she should lie wherever she will be best attended to and presented for the public to appreciate. That doesn't appear to be Belfast. I'd rather bid Caroline a fond farewell than see her lie alongside and rot, or for that matter be converted into some sort of floating theme park attraction. Belfast was offered the ship before she was decommissioned, the current campaign is too little, too late. We have, too coin a phrase, missed the boat.
