weekly frankenmauler roundup 01/14/11

01.07.11 davidson county, north carolina soft hearted and dim witted SHERRI HERALD couldn't bare the thought of poor little pibbles getting a dirt nap, so she took them in. and in exchange for her ignorant generosity, the hyenas attacked one of her horses and ate it alive. when animal control arrived, he fired a warning shot and four pits "swarmed" him. he shot and killed all four. the pit nutter came to her senses and gave up the other three. DIRT NAPS!

01.07.11 miami springs, florida a woman was walking her labrador when a pit bull type charged from a house and attacked for no reason (other than genetics). a good samaritan armed with a gun came to her defense. second time in 2 weeks. good job!

rip Mya (she's the pug with the red bow)

01.08.11 dearborn heights, michigan when the Jeff and Tiffany Holcomb family went on vacation, one of their pugs was killed by the neighbor's pit bulls. Tiffany's father let the dogs in the backyard and found the pit bulls tearing Mya apart. he took Mya to the vet but it was too late, she suffered a pierced heart, collapsed lung and several broken ribs. the pit nutters THOMAS and LORA CERNUTO were taking steps to prevent their mutants from escaping, unfortunately their measures were inadequate. the Holcombs say their children haven't been able to play on the basketball court or the trampoline in their backyard because the pit bulls had gotten into their yard so many times. the CERNUTOS came over with an apology and an offer to pay for cremation and the original purchase price of Mya. the Holcombs asked the CERNUTOS to euthanize their pit bulls. i'm guessing that LORA is NOT loving her neighbors at the moment. when the reporter knocked on the CERNUTO'S door, LORA answered and said “Their story is not going to be the truth, I’ll tell you that right now.” the CERNUTOS are probably going through the pit nutter rolodex excuse guide as i write this. my money is on "the pugs were always provoking our wiggle butts."

meet the TOM and LORA CERNUTO and their most lovingest, loyalest, lickingest, people pleasingest, bestest dogs ever.

01.07.11 internet chatter Neighbors 11 year old Lab Killed by neighbors pit bulls

My good friend informed me that 2 pit bulldogs attacked their dog this morning. These dogs have already were responsible for another death of a dog in the neighborhood. Not to mention chasing children when riding their bikes and go-carts. My neighbor could not even get close to the dog for fear that the pits would attack him. He said the bulldogs stood over him until the cops arrived, the tranqued one and the other ran off but was later caught by the dogie warden. What irks me is the fact that these dogs were returned to the owners on the first offense. The dogs are tethered and often break loose regularly.

01.11.11 internet advice column I have a 6 year old American Pitbull Terrier and he is very friendly to humans. But he hates cats and small animals. One day, he chewed on my brother's toy poodle, which died. My pitbull has never undergone studding and I want to make sure that he won't kill his mate when the opportunity comes. How can I make sure he doesn't? and what other preparations should I do to make sure he looks great for studding? How do I know if he looks awful? I love him dearly but I want to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone. I've seen him kill cats and small animals and I find myself in a situation where I can't pull him away when he's killing something, he's extra strong that way. Whenever that happens, I fear for my life as well but on ordinary days he's just so friendly that I hug him and play with him and I can touch my nose with his nose and I don't feel any fear.

01.11.11 hamden connecticut hamden citizens are upset with roaming pit bulls and are considering packing a little heat in order to protect themselves. while they have a constitutional right to do so, the police are recommending they call 911 instead. the most recent incident occurred on december 18th. a woman was walking her dog when a mutant attacked. four people were needed to get the dog off and restrain and still the police had to shoot it four times.

Ollie

01.13.11 new zealand a scuffle broke out at the masterton SPCA. Ollie was injured and 2 other dogs received dirt naps. a male mastiff x and a female staffy mix attacked poor Ollie. the shelter staff had to deploy the hose but that didn't work RINALIA. they had to physically pry the dogs apart. apparently the aggressors had shown some kind of undesirable behavior previously. shelter manager VAL BALL said "there wasn't dry eye in the place" after providing humane deaths to the 2 aggressors. the staff had been working on socializing the aggressors. one dog had been there for 3 months, the other for 6 weeks. there were plenty of dry eyes for the dog who suffered a violent attack though. 7 yr old Ollie nearly died of shock. he is on the mend now. Ollie suffered severe tears and muscle damage to his legs and untold psychological damage.

Mrs Ball suggested the long-term effects of dog overcrowding at the shelter may also have contributed to the attack, saying some of the dogs "may have been kept too long". oops looks like the no-kill approach ain't working!
