McDonalds Pit Bull Ad – Audio Included

by

Dear McDonald’s,

I’m pretty sure the number of people that die each year from eating your genetically modified, hydrogenated oil laced poison disguised under a food veil is exponentially higher than the number killed by “petting a stray pit bull”.

Here’s the audio from the radio ad if you want to hear it.

Shame on you McDonald’s.

If my dogs (whom were both rescued as strays) had middle fingers they would most certainly salute you today.

Instead, Tucker and Guapo will give you looks of disapproval.

 

Dogs From the Future

McDonald’s has now offered the following apology:

“In our effort to spread the word about our new Chicken McBites, one of our local markets ran an ad that inadvertently offended some of our customers. The ad was insensitive in its mention of pit bulls. We apologize. We are pulling the ad, and will review our creative screening process. It’s never our intent to offend anyone with how we communicate news about McDonald’s.”

“The ad was insensitive” doesn’t really cut it, but at least they are pulling the commercial.

Besides being completely ignorant of how hard we work to fight breed discrimination, they fail to correct the err of their words by offering a positive statement about pit bulls. I would love to see them take some steps in the right direction to rectify this situation by donating money to pit bull rescue and advocacy programs (but I’ll be sure not to hold my breath).

Justice for Parrot

WARNING – Graphic photo contained showing police officer holding Parrot on the ground.

 
I’m truly so disgusted by this story that I am at a loss for words.

What I will say is this – when a police officer chooses to be part of law enforcement they take an oath. This oath is a verbal contract binding them to uphold key principles related to integrity, character, honor and trust in service to their community.

Let’s for a moment quickly review what those little words mean in terms of police work. [Read more…]

Dogs and Fireworks Help

by

Take a moment to think about all the different, seemingly imperceptible sounds your pet can hear. Not only can they hear within a larger range, the shape of their ears also helps them to pick up sounds that often escape our senses. Think then how loud a firework might be to your best friend, the same dog that can hear the shaking of a cookie jar 2 floors away or the mailman dropping off a package 20 doors down. Not surprisingly, dogs and fireworks can often be a frightful, anxious experience for your pet. [Read more…]

Pit Bull Hero – Pitbull Saves Family in Fire

by

Diamond, a 15 month old Pit Bull was given this year’s National Hero Dog award by the SPCA in Los Angeles.

Diamond showed this often misunderstood breed’s true colors during an apartment fire at the Steen residence last October. Diamond the Pit Bull not only stayed in the house with the Steen family’s oldest daughter when she was unable to escape, she actually laid on top of Sierra. By placing her body over top of Sierra she shielded her from fire, and remained in place even when it meant that she sustained burns on her own body. Sierra and Diamond were rescued by fire fighters, and have made a full recovery. [Read more…]
