here is a link to the thread i started when i 1st found out about him...
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/ani...ve-lennox.html

its quite a long story, but basically, yes- it is because he Looks like a pit; they went to his home with a dressmakers tape measurer and decided based on the length of his legs and muzzle that he must be a pit, and a danger to society. he spent his winter nights curled up on the sofa with his yorkie sibling, so he is obviously quite the killer!

please, after reading his story from the above link (all sites are down atm thanks to belfast city council, so that thread is the best bet i can find for his story) simply explain to BCC (and all other contacts in government) how disgusted you are with this situation, and that you Will make it known to people planning on visiting the uk to avoid the city... in the past few years they have done extensive work to the city to make it more of a tourist orientated city.
i am ashamed now to come from belfast, every time you see n.i mentioned on an animal website it is only to remind us how terribly our councils deal with 'dangerous dogs'.

BSL should not have to be tolerated in todays society; what with all the work done to stop sectarianism (and racism etc), they still seem perfectly fine with ripping a childs dog from her sick bed because of how he looks.

DEED NOT BREED- WHY CAN'T THEY UNDERSTAND THIS!?
