A Tribute to those Mean Little Ankle Biters

Every single day posted in the comments section on the latest bloody pit bull incident, you will read it:  Chihuahua's are meaner.  They need to ban those nasty little ankle biters. It's a ridiculously silly scapegoat.   So many times, the pit bull owner will say how they never have had a single problem with their Pit Bull, but their Chihuahua will tear your throat out, this after writing in CAPS IT'S ALL HOW YOU RAISE EM!    I would have collected some screenshots of the statements here, but it's actually so pervasive, there's no point in doing that.   It's unfortunately as pervasive and un-newsworthy as pit bulls mauling, especially little tiny ankle biters.  Even those stories don't make the news unless there is something extra-ordinary that happens, such as if the owner of the little yappy ankle biter that was just killed gets a knife and slits the throat of the pibble.  A story like that may be more viral than the mauling of a child, which is also at this point, almost not newsworthy. 

If I were a Chihuahua that had to put up with the constant fear of becoming a snack for pibble, or to deal with the inane stupidity of a nutter, I would be grouchy and reactive too.  Chihuahuas deserve better. They are a noble and ancient race, and they deserve to be treated like royalty for their fierce loyalty.  They are the best watch dogs.  Arrive at the doorstep of a Chihuahua, and before you ring the bell,  there will be shrill coloratura trills that would give Beverly Sills a run for her money. 

They tremble and explode, because I suspect, there's way too much dog in there for that tiny little body to contain. 

When a pit bull wants to be truly frightening, especially to pit bull owners, he will wear his Chihuahua costume.

In the mean time,  be nice to Chihuahuas but be sure to keep Bandaids and Bactine on the ready, and always wear thick socks to protect your ankles.

Very Graphic Video.  

We all have heard it mentioned over and over again, that pit bulls have locking jaws.  This isn't true.  Even dogsbite.org mentions this, so why pit bull advocates will continue to bring up this now moot point is vexing.  Well, they are not rocket scientists after all, and they can't get go of even mutually agreed upon points.   What actually locks in a pit bull type dog, is its brain.  It has terrier will and  bulldog steel trap jaws, and it holds on and shakes its head, tearing flesh and breaking bones because that is how it was designed.   Once pitty latches on, it doesn't desire to let go.  It doesn't let go even when their loving owner screams "let go", over and over again.   The video is a good example.

Remember, It's all how you raise 'em.  

Had this been the dog any other Joe Schmo, there would have been a hefty  $10,000 fine and likely jail time for killing a protected  marine animal.   However, because this beast belongs to the daughter of Rocket Scientist  Nasa astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of former Senator Gabrielle Giffords (Dem.) , there were no charges filed.  The leash gave way, it's one of those sad unfortunate accidents that happen, somehow.  One wonders what would have happened had it been a child instead of a baby sea lion.  Ironically, he and his wife are in the forefront of regulating fire arms.  A Gun would have come in handy here.  Weapons Grade dogs? Not a peep about them.

Meme of the Day!

Nutter Meme Makeover!

Who doesn't  enjoy transformations and makeovers!  Now let's make over some of the most oft shared pit bull propaganda memes.  It was felt that the "before" pic was not needed, because the following six memes have been around quite some time now, and it's time they received a dose of TRUTH. 

  The coconut meme still persists despite many scholarly derailments.  You would think that nutters would THINK....when's the last time you even saw a coconut tree in your neighborhood? 

The crazy coconut meme inspired a poem. 

This is the favorite shared by the college educated vegan rescue angel.  What the dear well meaning darlings do not seem to understand, it would really help  pit bulls if we could regulate who could own them. 

 Mr. President put out his finger in the wind one day when Cesar Milan showed up at his door step.  I think a crowd of victims need to do the same.

I suspect there are a good many people who don't even know what BSL is, and it would be fair to explain why there is a pit bull pissing on the letters BSL...

This is such a classy advocacy!

Political correctness works, this is why pit bull advocates grip and hold, and don't let go. 

I've seen this one shared in the news media, on the Huffington Post and even on the wall of my local shelter, it looks so scientific.  The original doesn't explain what the American Temperament Society is testing for.  Pit bull advocates can also not make the claim "it's all how you raise em", if they are going to share this erroneous information, because it contains a list of popular breeds that collectively score lower on this test for Schutzhund prospects than do pit bulls (which do not exist and no one can tell what one looks like), but collectively and all added up together for the last twenty years, kill and maim less.   Yeah, these other breeds score lower on the American Temperament Society Test because weirdos and guns scare them, but isn't it all how you raise 'em?  


If you have ideas for nutter meme make overs, let us know.  We adore sprucing things up with truth and explanations!

Pibble is on Santa's Naughty List This Year....

Grumpy Puppy

Grumpy Puppy smells a kid.  Yum.  Something in me awakens!

Feed the kid and fatten him up!  In six months, he will be ripe and so will I!

Don't Gobble Gobble and don't get Gobbled

Here is a collection of photos to copy and post on your fridge.  These disturbing images are sure to take away even a truck driver's appetite, or even Oprah's or Paula Deen's, by the power of sheer revulsion.   You may appear on Dr. Oz! 

Happy Thanksgiving, and be thankful for every day that passes that you or those you love, 

are not gobbled by pit bulls.  Bad puns are fun.

I'm thankful you didn't make a hat out of cranberry sauce., Oh so you did.....poor kitty!

  

No.  You can have the onion and garlic, and here, have some sugar free gum, your breath is terrible.  (Kidding!)

Killer turkey and sweet potato pie.  I'll never touch the stuff ever again.

WINNING!

The adorable qrstu, rocks da hot pink bob with her emotional support  Pibble, Twinkie.

O.K., I made that up, but I didn't make THIS one up!

It would almost be a comedy if it didn't put so many people at risk, 

and wasn't an example of an escalating fraud. 

To cope with this, I purchased a kit for my PTSD support Tiger, Snickerdoodle. 

 I've been agoraphobic ever since the pit bull attack. 

Sometimes, I take him to the school, and the children read to him and give him treats. 

Screams!

I heard screaming....


I heard hellacious screaming...


Screams.


This is the most dangerous pit bull advocacy myth.  
We must stop the screaming.

LAND SHARK WEEK!

MOOD MUSIC!

Sharky is a Great name for a pit bull!  Sharky's owner thinks that folks would like to  purchase a Sharky mouse-pad and other merchandize.  Sharky even has his own facebook page!

This is a pit bull shark.  Just kidding, there is no such thing, this is just a silly art project.  It looks like my neighbor's pit bull.

Here is a video of a pit bull stealing a shark from a Rottweiler, then killing it.

Here's some interesting facts about pit bulls and sharks!

Surgeons often compare the wounds of pit bull attacks with those of  sharks!

According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), between 1580 and 2011 there were 2,463 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 471 were fatal.


According to the  Merritt Clifton report, between 1982 and 2012, there have been  2,235 pit bull attacks that caused serious bodily injury, and 233 deaths.  This is the figure with out mixes and close relatives added in. That would make the domesticated canine more dangerous than a beautiful, mysterious, ancient creature who has been the top of the food chain for millions of years. 

Just like my neighborhood!  Folks, keep your cats inside, there's land sharks on the prowl!
