I was hopeful, but if the BCC had held out this long, they were not going to change their minds.

This sounds familiar to the Crazy Cats Ladies Society Shelter whose cats were seized and immediately euthanized. It was later discovered that the city's shelter director acted without just cause and she and one or two others were fired. In this case the city council investigated and brought some justice to those guilty.

Lennox and his case were no so fortunate.

What is really appalling about their insensitive behavior is their treatment of his family. Lennox's ashes will be mailed to them? How cruel! Sounds like the city needs an entire overhaul.
