Justice Gator



An alligator emerged from an Orlando lake Monday morning, attacked a pit bull and dragged it back into the water, the dog's owner told state wildlife officials.  (Don't miss the comments, they are a hoot!)

Eric Mantral Glover was walking his 10-month-old pit bull around Deerock Park in west Orlando before the incident, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation spokesman Greg Workman said.
"He started throwing a stick into the lake for the pit bull to retrieve," Workman said.


Later, an alligator, estimated to be between 8 and 11 feet long, came out of the lake and attacked the dog, pulling it back into the water, Workman said.
Glover was unable to find his pet.

R.I.P. Mr. Pibbles

FWC was called to the scene, and a permit was issued to a trapper, Workman said. As of 3:15 p.m., the trapper has been unsuccessful in capturing the gator and is leaving the scene. The search will resume late tonight or early Tuesday, FWC officials said.
More than 1.3 million alligators are thought to live in Florida, and gator bites are uncommon. Some bites occur because of "accidental collisions" such as swimmers bumping into alligators, according to FWC.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation's website notes that dogs and cats are similar to the size of the natural prey of alligators. It suggests that pets should not swim, exercise or drink in waters that might contain gators.
On Aug. 7, 9-year-old James Barney was enjoying a swim in Lake Tohopekaliga when he was bitten by an alligator estimated to be 9 feet long and 500 pounds. The boy suffered superficial bites, as well as 30 teeth marks and scratches. 

Wildlife officials report 12 people were bitten by alligators in Florida last year. Five of those bites were considered minor, seven were major and none was fatal.Actually, more people are bitten and killed by pit bulls every year.  Thank you Justice Gator!

Here at Pit Nutter Circus, we offer treats for Gators, inspired by the Gator Jerky Treats for dogs, available at our gift shop in the sky! Here's toasting to Justice Gator and the concept of shadenfreude,  so many of us would like to build a moat and fill it with some Justice Gators of our own! 




For all of our pit bull owning fans, here's a song for revenge... listen to the song Alligator Eatin' Dog!

The Summer of Pibble Love-Hippy Makeovers Galore!

The Summer of 2014 seems to be a battle between media outlets between who can woo the most pit bull fans with the glossiest and glowing fluff pieces about that poor maligned breed of dog,
the pibbly-wibbly poo.

Just as Huffington Post ended a week long series, and pibbly-wibbly poo added a fatality or two and scores of serious maimings of people and pets, the Irish Mirror jumped on the rehabilitation bandwagon with this series of "Hippy makeovers". 

Pit Nutter Circus was inspired in turn, to give an image makeover to some of the most despised serial killers in history.  Is it possible, they were just misunderstood?  Their mommies loved them surely!
 
Bloody Groovy Baby!
Neither serial killerypoos Aileen Wuornos nor Jeff Dahmer were stoned, but both did receive the death penalty for their crimes.

Had Kim Jong Ilipoo a bong, he may have not been so angry and "ronley".  He was just so cute and cuddly!

Adolfy Poo and Pibbly Wibbly Poo sing folk songs for you!  Both Guitars and Pibbles kill Fascists.


Had Joey Stalin been  around today, why we could have neutered him and filed his teeth down and dressed him up like a hippfied Mickey,  and he and millions could have lived in peace.

Isn't he an adorable Pitty?








Osamapoo  and Pibbles wish you Peace to Pieces.

Pass the Popcorn!

Every year, just when it's blazing hot outside and most of us would yearn to take a trip to the beach to cool off, the Discovery Channel plays a week of documentaries and specials about sharks.  It's become a beloved annual event worthy of popcorn, learning about these fascinating creatures that inspire fear or at least respect. 

Mark your calendars, Discovery Channel's Shark Week starts next week! 



Perhaps inspired, or perhaps feeding an insatiable appetite of people who need to be reassured and feel good about owning and advocating for pit bulls, Huffington Post has launched its own Landshark Week!  There's bound to be copious amounts of back patting. 

More people have been killed this year by land sharks 
than by real sharks.


It may be safer to go to the beach.  Watch out for the loose pit bulls.


Is that what it is?  Hearts seeking veins. May yours stay intact!
