Sampson was killed today. He was a black Yorkshire Terrier mixed dog, found in a park in London. He was friendly with other dogs and people, but the police officer classified him as dangerous, because he thought he looked like a Pitt Bulldog, so he was killed! I do not have enough "merits" to paste his picture on here, but I just HAD to share this with my dog lover friends! Since our two dogs could be classified as dangerous dogs ..... probably because they bark at strangers ....... they could have ended their lives in the same way if we had such laws in the States! Please do not allow this to happen in the United States, but if anyone is English, please let your government know that innocent, loving dogs are being killed!

Oh that is so sad. I am from the UK and it makes me sick to the stomach that a dog was killen unneccesarily. I did not hear about this in the news, we have many dogs put down as they (pitbulls) are used in some places still for dog fights. I cant believe that something so barbaric still goes on.

My husband played a video about this a few hours ago, and at the end of the video, they said there is a growing consensus whose aim is to do away with this law in the UK. If you're interested, just let me know, and I'll forward it to you.

Since you're from the UK, here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uFAxoZg2rc I hope it works! WARNING: Bring some tissues before watching it, because it will shock you at how many family pets are being killed, maimed or abused. But, on it, they list who you should complain to, in order to change the law, or at least to let the constables know how the people feel about this.
