Getting a Dog, Must Rehome Baby

by

Rehoming AWESOME Baby

Female baby, 1 year old, and sweet as can be. Just found out we’re getting a dog, and have to rehome the baby because I am unable to devote the time to her that she deserves. She is adorable, loving, sweet and a major part of our family, but the time has come for us to part ways. We are looking for a family that is perfect, and we have no problem judging your worthiness based on arbitrary markers of success including: the type of car you drive, neighborhood where you live, money in your bank account, and what designer labels comprise your wardrobe.

First They Came for Pit Bulls

by

BSL or Breed Specific Legislation is a threat to ALL dogs, not just Pit Bulls or other “dangerous breeds”.  Basically, BSL looks at the breed of a certain dog instead of the behavior of one specific animal.  An analogy for BSL in humans would be racial profiling, due to the fact that it does not look at the characteristics of the individual, instead generalizing them to be true for an entire breed or race.  Think BSL doesn’t affect you because you only own labradors or golden retrievers?  Wrong.  If the knee-jerk reaction of BSL catches on in the way that many supporters of BSL hope it will, people will then see that once all of the Pit Bulls are gone, issues related to dog bites will still exist.  The proponents of BSL will then move onto the next breed, and so on, until BSL does affect you.  [Read more…]

Misunderstood; The Perspective of a Pit Bull Owner

by

After spending some time browsing the pets section on Craiglist, I want to lay with my pit bulls and cry.  It is incomprehensibly saddening to see the things people do to this misunderstood breed.  Area shelters across the US are jam-packed with pit bulls. Backyard breeders with no regard for the welfare of these dogs continue to sell off dogs with their eyes locked on the bottom line.  Ignorant breed “lovers” continue to perpetuate the numerous false rumors including their incredible locking jaws, rarity of certain colors, and inherently aggressive nature.  So many dogs need homes, and so many dogs will never get that chance.

PETA Sets New Record for Killing Animals

by

PETA, the “animal rights” organization that supports breed specific bans, and an end to ownership of animals as companions (for more information see the post – PETA’s Pit Bull and Companion Animal Policies) set a new record for 2008.  Documents published on the website PETA Kills Animals show that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals killed about 95 percent of the pets placed into their care during 2008, which translates into roughly 5-6 animals euthanized each day.  The public records available through the VA Department of Agriculture and Consumer services show PETA killed 2,124 pets in 2008, placing only 7 in adoptive homes.  Over the past 10 years PETA has slaughtered over 20,000 dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and other pets.

Reasons Why Sarah Palin is NOT a Pit Bull

by

I am sure you have heard the comparisons in the media likening McCain’s vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, to a ‘Pit Bull’.  Palin herself even made reference to this when accepting the Republican nomination for vice president, saying that her lipstick is only thing that separates a hockey mom like her from a pit bull.  I think I can speak for the Pit Bulls on this one when I say that they are outraged at any comparisons even mentioning their breed and this woman in the same sentence.  To even imply that Sarah Palin has even a few of the outstanding characteristics that describe Pit Bulls is utterly preposterous.
