I was wondering since the petition is closed, did Bruce ever make it home? I really hope he did, this is all discrimination and FUCKED UP humane societies should be all over this, even if on death row he should not be confined to such conditions, shit like this honest to god breaks my heart, i’m crying right now.

I really hope Bruce got home, please, please let me know.
My dog Melody is s a rottweiler and people are always judging her as a bad dog, but that dog is the biggest baby and would do anything for me and my family. People need to stop discriminating, and not only against animals but people and everything else.

This law in Ireland is just like WWII; trying to get rid of all the Jews! Jews or Pitbulls, it doesn’t matter. Its all in the individual, not their breed or religion. Its discrimination and its sooo wrong! I hope the Irish law realizes their becoming the next “Hitler”

I live in the United States, and while I’ve never heard of anything like this happening here, it still makes me sick. I have known of at least three different people who had a pit bull and had to lie and say it was a different, similar-looking breed so that they could keep it. There are apartment complexes in my area whose ads specifically say “No Pit Bulls.” But some of the friendliest dogs I have ever encountered have been pit bulls, or else another breed with a bad name. My own dog, who died back in 2007, was a purebred black Chow. Every single person who encountered him was scared of him, although the ONLY time he ever bit anybody was during a thunderstorm (he was afraid of thunderstorms and my mother had told her not to try and touch him to bring him in, as he would likely bite anyone close to him besides my mom, but the woman tried anyway). He snapped at another person once, and that was a neighbourhood kid who tried to stab him with a pair of scissors.

On the other side, the meanest dogs I’ve ever met are ones who are generally favoured. My brother was bitten by my grandmother’s Cocker Spaniel when he was four. I myself was bitten on the lip by a chihuahua when I was about seven. Small dogs, small bites, that’s why I think pit bulls and the like are given the bad names – because the ones who do bite will do more damage than a smaller dog. It’s a stupid reason to condemn a dog, just because its size means if it IS prone to snap, it’ll do more damage, but there you have it.

i already have signed this petition a while ago but just had to say that unfortunately he would not have come off much better in england. despite the ammendments many of our dogs are still being either destroying in dying in police ‘care’ from starvation with other similar injuries to poor bruce from total lack of care. despite the fact that breed specific legislation clearly does not work as every chav on every street corner still has a ‘status’ dog it is still being enforced on friendly dogs that are clearly not illegal breeds for no reason other than being a little tall for a staffy etc. Deed Not Breed!

WOW!! i had a pet pit bull for over 15 years and it hurts when people say that they are bad. i trusted that dog with my new born son before i would trust most people. so this story is truly sad…..oh and i also totally agree with nicky…blame the owners not the dogs!!!!!!!
