Campaigners fighting for the release of Max the dog from the pound are calling for complete transparency from local councillors regarding the results of his upcoming assessment. The Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council has agreed to cooperate with the USPCA and allow an independent assessment of Max's age and breed after facing public pressure.
Campaigners fighting for Max the dog are demanding transparency from local councillors regarding the results of his upcoming assessment. This follows a significant U-turn by the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, who have agreed to cooperate with the USPCA and allow an independent assessment of the dog's age and breed. This decision, praised by the USPCA as a testament to the power of public support, culminates in a successful campaign to move Max out of the pound and into a foster family.
A large protest was held at the council offices on Saturday, further amplifying calls for Max's release. Now, campaigners are urging the public to contact their local councillors and demand complete transparency regarding the assessment's outcome. They have even crafted an email template for people to send to their councillors, requesting immediate action upon the assessment's completion. Zara Duncan, a leading figure in the campaign, expressed gratitude for the council's decision to support the independent assessment. She emphasized the importance of transparently sharing the assessment's results given the public's immense interest in Max's case. Duncan highlighted the crucial role local councillors will play in ensuring this transparency. The email requesting action can be sent to [email protected], enabling it to reach all 40 local councillors. The community remains steadfast in its commitment to Max's well-being and looks forward to collaborating with the council for a fair and transparent resolution
