Pit Bull Attacked in Yard

July 30, 2012 by z3admin Leave a Comment

A reminder to make sure to keep your dogs safe.

From Fox News in Minneapolis/St. Paul:

…Based on his (Cesar’s) injuries, investigators say they don’t believe the 4-year-old dog was hit by a car — but the message written across his fur shows at least some of the dog’s wounds were completely intentional.

 

Robert Cole said he adopted Cesar when the pit bull was a 14-week-oldp pup. The companionship the two enjoy was nearly cut short Wednesday, when Cole followed a trail of bloody paw prints in the garage to find Cesar curled up in the corner in a pool of blood.

 

“Literally a breath or two from dying,” Cole recalled. “They gave him something that elevated his heart rate because it would have stopped.”

 

Cole told FOX 9 News that Cesar had been in his backyard with his other dogs, but he later found the gate had suspiciously been swing in.

 

“If the dogs would have pushed through this way, the fence would be this way,” he explained.”

 

After noticing the gate had been opened, Cole went looking for Cesar. When he found him, he saw the dog’s leg had been slashed open.

 

“The fur was gone — a lot of muscle missing. It was down to the bone,” he said. “It looked like somebody sliced. That’s what it looked like to me.”

 

At one point on Wednesday, veterinarians did not expect Cesar would live. Now that he is expected to recover, all attention has been focused on figuring out who did it.

 

Investigators say they’re pretty sure it was someone with a beef because a message was scrawled on the dog’s back, telling Cole to “back off.”

 

Cole, who makes a living as a dog trainer who specializes in calming aggressive dogs, said attacking Cesar affects his livelihood. Since his work frequently puts him in contact with Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, they paid his vet bill — and they have established a fund to help cover those costs. Anyone wishing to donate can make a contribution online.

 

No arrests have been made so far, but officers say they believe they have a solid animal cruelty case.

Pit Bulls Are Four-Legged Time Bombs

May 1, 2012 by z3admin 1 Comment

The title of this post is directly taken from an article written by “journalist” Dan Rodricks, a man who apparently prides himself on perpetuating stereotypes and writes for The Baltimore Sun. In an unabashedly biased, non-factual report titled: “Pit bulls: Own them at your own risk“, Rodricks talks uses his experience as a judge at a costume event for animals as a pedestal to speak out against pit bull ownership.

I realize this article is written as a commentary and Mr. Rodricks is certainly entitled to his opinion. However, most leisurely wanderers of the internet will see this article’s placement on The Baltimore Sun’s website and mistakenly assume that what he has written is a factual account of the pit bull breed, instead of an admittedly skewed perspective.

Prejudice notwithstanding, Rodrick’s poorly constructed article misses the point. The fact that the recent findings of the Maryland Court of Appeals are in agreement with his negative opinion of the pit bull breed does not prove, or even suggest, that there is anything wrong with responsible pit bull ownership. The “if we get rid of the pit bulls no one will get hurt“, brand of logic has grown tired considering its serious lack of factual supporting data.

Want to know the truth?

In places where pit bulls have been banned, dog bite statistics and mortality rates have remained unchanged, as demonstrated in balanced and scientific studies done in Denver, CO, The Netherlands and Spain. Getting rid of the pit bulls didn’t solve the problem, but I guess Maryland wants to find that out on their own. [Read more…]
