We also, all know what would have really happened if Lenny had attacked this man. Lenny, being a pit bull, would of course, already be in custody.

Th..."Many of you have been asking about Lenny. The man who stabbed him has admitted to the stabbing, but claims it was in self defense! There are plenty of facts to dispel this, but the Park Police report that witnesses are not coming forward, or if they are, have been unwilling to leave their names & make official statements. The man however, has a scum bag attorney & all his friends lined up to say that Lenny was attacking his dog.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We know this is not true. Lenny is non-aggressive, and not a sound occoured before the stabbing -- Stacey did not know her dog had been stabbed until she turned around & saw the bloody knife in the man's hand. Dog fights do not occour silently, especially in a place like Fort Funston, where any scuffle results in huge, noisy commotion as the dogs gather. Dogs are pack animals and react immediately & naturally to danger of any kind, but especially dog fights in this environment. There would be much noise & drama. People who feel threatened also make noise. The man did not yell, attract attention ot struggle beofre stabbing Lenny. The crime occoured swiftly & silently. When Stacey turned around, saw the bloody knife & asked "did you stab my dog??" the man held the bloody knife above his head & said "I sure did!" before fleeing the scene. This is not the action of a man who felt threatened. He did not yell or demand Stacey grab her dog at any point -- usually the first reaction to a concern about another's dog at a dog park.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Lenny is a pro dog walker's dog & has good social skills. He is not aggressive & no altercation occoured. Stacey saw the dogs posture, typical when a dog meets an unneutered male dog, and asked the owner to grab his dog to prevent any trouble -- typical & responsible behavior for a dog walker. The man was carrying a knife in the middle of the afternoon at Fort Funston, and walking an unneutered pit bull (illegal in SF) -- all of this is further proof that he was not concerend about the law or anyone's safety.<br /><br /> <br /><br />This man should be prosecuted to the fullest extent but witnesses need to step forward & speak up for this to happen. If you saw ANYTHING the day of the attack, please give your statement to the Park Police. Iwill include the contact info below. The Park Police want this man arrested too. they were at Fort Funston yesterday, stopping cars as we left the parking lot to question everyone. Even if you did not witness the attack, you can make a statement testifying to Lenny's non aggressive behavior, Stacey's responsible ownership, and anything you know of dog behavior, the case itself or the environment at Fort Funston. I did not see the fight, but wrote a long statement for them that they believed would be helpful. The important stuff is evidence of Lenny's friendliness & that no altercation occoured between the dogs. It is important that we all speak up & help protect our park & put this man away.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Here is the contact information for the Park police who were questioning at Fort Funston. If you make a statement, it is best to put it in writing & fax. be sure to include your name & contact information, as this has apparently been much of the problem with the information they are recieving from the public.<br /><br /> <br /><br />U.S. Park Police<br /><br />1217 Ralston Ave<br /><br />SF, CA 94129<br /><br />police info: 415.561.5100<br /><br />police reports: 415.561.5102<br /><br />fax: 415.561.5145<br />Share<br /><br /><br /> If you saw this event or would like to share any of the many positive experiences we have all had with Lenny please contact the Park Police."<br /><br /><br />From:<br />http://www.facebook.com/notes/the-whole-pet/witnesses-of-lennys-attack-please-come-forward/141270285914140AmberJoyhttp://www.honeysheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212115997694971585.post-71289536375770538702010-08-21T00:30:20.866-07:002010-08-21T00:30:20.866-07:00There's now more information here: http://abc...There's now more information here: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/san_francisco&id=7621902<br />and some thread discussions online. Lenny was stabbed four times. His spleen had to be removed. And he is now recovering. <br /><br />There's so much to say about this insanity, including the hazards of bringing un-neutered pitbulls to dog parks. Generally speaking, dog walkers at FF are pretty good at handling potential conflicts. But this is a case where the human was more out of control than the dogs. He is still at large...mira amirashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372005605076355136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212115997694971585.post-59318210314718954152010-08-20T22:30:04.574-07:002010-08-20T22:30:04.574-07:00Sorry...my earlier post should have said "you...Sorry...my earlier post should have said "your" not "you're!"
