Der junge, liebe Staff/Terrier Bruce wurde im September 2007 seiner Familie in Nordirland seiner Rasse wegen weggenommen und vegetiert seither in einem Käfig. Seine Familie kämpft seit 21 Monaten um Bruce und durfte ihn in dieser Zeit nur 1 x sehen. Dem Hund geht es gar nicht gut, er leidet psychisch und physisch. Er hat eine infizierte Wunde am von den Gitterstäben und sie haben ihm den Schwanz amputiert infolge einer Infektion. Er hat am ganzen Körper wunde Stellen und ist abgemagert.
Es könnte jeden Tag entschieden werden, dass Bruce getötet werden soll, weil er einer verbotenen Hunderasse angehört. Aus aller Welt wird protestiert und alle bitten darum, Bruce nach Hause gehen zu lassen zu seiner Familie.
Bitte Protestbrief abschicken und die Petition unterschreiben - geht beides ganz schnell !!!!
Who to contact to help save Bruce:
Home Secretary - Alan Johnson
Protestadressen:
public.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
johnsona@parliament.uk
Bruce soll nach Irland dürfen, wo er legal leben könnte. Nur in Nordirland werden Hunderassen verfolgt!
Please ask for Bruce to be given safe passage to Eire where he can live legally. It's probably best if you can compose your own letter but here's a template letter...
Muster-Protestbrief bitte heute noch schicken. Bruce hat so wenig Zeit übrig !!!
Please write today. There is so little time left.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you with regard to a travesty about to occur in Northern Ireland and to beg you to intervene and help save a life.
The life in question belongs to Bruce,a young Staffordshire Bull Terrier who was living happily with his family in Northern Ireland. On September 19th 2007 Bruce was seized by council officials as an alleged “pit bull type” and taken to secluded kennels whilst his owner was taken to court for owning a banned type of dog.
While incarcerated in kennels his family were allowed to visit Bruce in
October 2007, Bruce had lost weight, muscle and had a cut to his muzzle. Five months later Bruce was allowed a second visit from his family in March 2008, they were shocked with what they found: The wound on Bruce's muzzle was larger and had become infected, he had to have his tail amputated, had open sores, was underweight and looked totally rejected, yet despite the clear pain he was in, is described by experts as being a friendly dog that poses no danger to the public. In a desperate attempt to save Bruce, owner Shannon Brown, supporters and neighbours have created petitions and videos resulting in worldwide support to “Bring Bruce Home”.
Northern Ireland has not adopted the 1997 Amendment Act as in England, Scotland and Wales, despite being proposed several times, thus meaning any dog deemed to be “pit bull type” cannot be entered onto the Index of Exempted Dogs. If the proposal had been accepted in Northern Ireland, as with the rest of the UK, Bruce would have been home long before now, alive and well registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs.
If Bruce lived in Southern Ireland where no breeds are nationally banned he would never have been seized at all. Bruce has been offered a place of safety with a reputable rescue in Southern Ireland where he could legally live out the rest of his life, this offer has been conveyed to the solicitor but has sadly not been accepted by the court.
I understand that you have the power to grant a pardon and we beg of you to do all within your power to allow Bruce the chance of life by requesting Bruce is granted safe passage to Southern Ireland and the rescue placement that is waiting there for him. This is all that is needed. I am sure, Mr. Johnson, that you are aware of how emotionally committed good owners are to their pets. Dogs are part of our families as much as children. Please spare Bruce’s owner the further trauma of destroying Bruce so needlessly. Please pardon Bruce and allow a blameless animal the chance of life.
We claim to be a nation of animal lovers, surely now it is time to prove it?
Yours faithfully

Breed Specific Legislation now has Bruce firmly labelled and condemned but the world is on his side. Could you please share this email and encourage everyone you know (and those you don't!) to speak up for an innocent family dog in his hour of need. We cannot fail now, this is a fight for justice and mercy that we MUST WIN! A life is at stake and Bruce must be spared. There is safety in numbers where our animal friends are concerned.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
Best wishes
Maria xx
