Dog "Bruce" on Death Row

A dog named Bruce has be condened to die becuase of the way he looks, a statement it was issued by The Kennal Club. The 1991 DDA was amended by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1997. The Act removed the mandatory destruction order provisions of the 1991 Act by giving the courts discretion on sentencing, and re-opened.

It's not fair and we do not understand why a pit bull dog is judge purly on its looks. In some parts of the UK it is regarded as a danger then the same dog would pose in another part.

We the Kennel Club want new legislations but the association in Westminster seems very unwilling to re-examine the current DDA. We will push for the 1997 amendment to apply in Northern Ireland; we encourage all dog owners in Northern Ireland to do the same.

Dog lovers from around the world have reacted in horror to the news of pet dog Bruce. A court has given orders he be destroyed ending a exhaustive twenty one month battle to save his life.
