This is reminiscent of the case concerning Lennox, another BSL victim, who spent an even longer time incarcerated, and finally destroyed. He was a harmless and previously happy family dog too, from all accounts. His only fault was the breed he happened to be born into.
I can not understand why -if there is an 'escape route' for Stella to go to a country/state where BSL doesn't exist, and presumably all arrangements would be made by the Rescue Group, involving no British costs -the magistrates have to sign her death warrant.
It is terribly tragic. This dog is obviously a really nice character. I hope she will be happier on the Other Side than in this world, where something is very wrong.
But yes, the petition should still be sent.
I feel for Stella's caretaker who must be heartbroken. Sure, he should have thought twice about having a 'banned breed mix' in the UK....but then again, we can't always help who we fall in love with...
