I have seen no mention of Lennox on Stubby dog's facebook or website except for now...if I am mistaken please tell me.
Apparently someone approcahed them and came to them with the shirt.

Yeah, this sort of thing really annoys me. Not ethical, IMO. Unless there is something going on here I'm unaware of.

Apparently someone approcahed them and came to them with the shirt. Yeah, but I feel like an ethical group would have said no and recommended that the money go to a group that actually had something to do with the Lennox case. I haven't seen anything about StubbyDog helping with the Lennox case or even contacting his family. It would be one thing if they were just spreading the word like most groups, but why does StubbyDog feel they deserve to profit off of Lennox? |

^ A couple of people did say something similar to that. I think someone suggested that they give some of the money to the family for their legal bills.

Yeah, I saw that. Hopefully Stubby did, as well.

Checked their website, they've made an announcement that they are proud of this. I'm STEAMING over it, and wrote a note to stubby dog:
I am a 20 year volunteer for the Plainfield Area Humane Society, a pit bull friendly private shelter; was a 10 year volunteer for Friends of Terriers pit bull rescue, and recently a volunteer for The Real Pit Bull. I am appalled that your organization is profiting from the death of Lennox by enabling a t-shirt company to also profit from the same situation. The three organizations I've volunteered for would never even think of that. If you are an upstanding member of the rescue community, you would in turn donate ALL MONEY GAINED from this venture to the family of Lennox who actually lived and suffered the death of their family member.

Another appropriate place for the money be donated is DDAWATCH a nonprofit dedicated to end BSL in the UK.

there are those who rode the Vick dogs to fame and attention (and some money).... some of whom actually rescued some of the dogs.
then there are those who rescued Vick dogs .... and chose not to do that.

BTW. I was wrong about Stillwell.. she HAS been involved with the Lennox story for quite awhile and is by no means a newcomer or exploiter... Jim Crosby has some posts on his blog: networkedblogs.com/zNR4K |
