After two years of legal battles, the town of Belfast in Northern Ireland killed Lennox, an innocent dog, based solely on his resemblance to a pit bull.
Lennox had never bitten or attacked anyone. He was killed because of the length of his rear legs and muzzle.

This story made international headlines and brought the inherent injustice of breed-specific legislation to the forefront. Read more about Lennox's story here.
