BADRAP surrenders to facts

"A lie can run around the world six times while the truth is still trying to put on its pants." ~Mark Twain

on May 20, 2013 @ 9:00 am PST, BADRAP made the following proclamation:
It's Dog Bite Prevention Week. Did you know that there was never such thing as a 'Nanny's Dog'? This term was a recent invention created to describe the myriad of vintage photos of children enjoying their family pit bulls. While the intention behind the term was innocent, using it may mislead parents into being careless with their children around their family dog - A recipe for dog bites!

INNOCENT? the phrase 'Nanny Dog' was never used innocently. it was a very deliberate, very deceptive campaign to manipulate people into accepting a FIGHTING bred dog into the community.

manipulation is never innocent.

BADRAP (or JANE) has employed a talented public relations specialist. they have managed to put a fantastic spin on the reversal of the 'Nanny Dog' myth and back peddled right out of that sticky mess. or so they think. but trying to flush this lie from internet will be a herculean task, similar to trying to remove pee from the pool. the damage is done. this LIE will never be erased and the truth will still be trying to put its pants on long after DONNA'S big announcement has fallen from the top of the page.

flip flopping is nothing new for DONNA REYNOLDS. years ago, she said things like "pit bulls are naturally dog aggressive" and advised people against taking their pit bulldogs to dog parks. now she talks in terms of "individuals" and "dog selective". i think the change happened right around the time BADRAP became JANE BERKEY'S pet project.

let me be perfectly blunt. i'm calling shenanigans on BADRAP. i have a theory. rather than try to explain "the myriad of vintage photos" as DONNA claims, i think the likes of BADRAP, AFF and the utah cult BEST FRIENDS, aggressively sought out vintage photos of pit bulls with kids in an attempt to reinvent the pit bull into something that didn't scare people.

pit zealots like to point the finger of blame to the famous 1987 sports illustrated article for ruining the reputation of their pit bulldogs. but media coverage works both ways. after the famous vick bust of 2007 and the "rehabilitation" of his grippers, pit bulldogs, especially vick pit bulldogs were constantly being paraded in the media. there was a massive surge in all of the myths: nanny dog, it's all how they're raised, ATTS, man biters were culled etc.

trend in DBRF:
2009 - 14 people were killed by pit bulls
2010 - 22 people were killed by pit bulls
2011 - 22 people were killed by pit bulls (DARLA NAPORA)
2012 - 23 people were killed by pit bulls (REBECCA CAREY)
2013 and now in the first 122 days of this year, a whopping 13 people have been killed by pit bulls, 14 if you count the man who was struck by a car while fleeing a rampaging gripper. at the current pace, grippers are on target to claim the lives of 42 americans this year.

a very small sample of pro-pit bulldog media coverage:
12/2008 with the help of JIM GORANT, sports illustrated redeems itself in the eyes of nutters by publishing a sickening pro-pit article (page 2 paragraph 3 references the nanny dog)
09/2010 NPR story about the vick dogs
01/2011 (uploaded to youtube) PBS cashes in on the feel good vick dog action.
many of the vick dogs have their own facebook pages, websites and blogs

books
2009 badd newz
2010 one good dog (a jane berkey production)
2010 lost dogs 
2011 saving audie (propaganda age 6-9)
2011 pit bulls: villains or victims? (a regurgitation of karen delise + police gazette)
2012 wallace: the underdog

tv shows
2009 pit bulls and paroles 
2010 pit boss

documentaries
2009 vicktory to the underdog
2010 the pit bull hoax
2010 beyond the myth
2012 guilty til proven innocent

miscellaneous crap
2008 vicktory dog wine
2013 jonny justice plush toy
creepy calendars of tattooed floozies & bulldogs

i'm sure that i missed a few.

media blowback
you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see the impact that of all of this positive media attention has had on the number of dog bite related fatalities. whether positive or negative, too much media attention on a breed of dog is never a good thing. media hype always appeals to people on the most superficial of levels. too much negative press attracts the thugs & criminals and too much sugar coated press attracts the naive and politically correct fur mommy crowd who think their love supersedes genetics. both of these groups compromise the safety of the rest of us.

slick public relations tricks fueled by a guilty conscience and BADRAP thinks they can back out of this mess with their reputation intact and pretend as if nothing happened. not if i can help it.

"Nanny Dog" was the pit bull breed booth theme at multiple booths at Americas Family Pet Expo in Orange County, CA.
Paid attendance 30,000.

thank you pmic4od!

in search of "innocence"
i briefly surveyed the presence of the nanny dog on the internet. here is a small sampling of nanny dog references. what do you think, are they innocent?

first stop 'in the company of dogs' where you can show the world your pit bull pride with a t-shirt or pillow.

which words jump out at you first?

here's what jumps out at me.
1) babysitter
2) pit bull
3) misunderstood
that's no accident.


GEORGE TAKEI (star trek's sulu) thinks pit bulls get a "bad rap". nutters really hate facts. i posted the link to badrap's big announcement, you know, cuz i'm all about educatin' but this little weasel deleted my comment.

BEST FRIENDS ANIMAL SOCIETY  gets in on the 'nanny dog' action with one of the vick cash cows - HANDSOME DAN.
"When our daughter, Josephine, was born in 2010, we knew Dan would be great with her. We just had no idea how great. When she was a baby, he would sleep next to her crib. Now that she is a little older, he is so calm and patient with her. Sudden movements have always startled Dan, but the craziness of a toddler doesn't seem to bother him at all. Dan can truly be considered a nanny dog!"


JIM GORANT my understanding of his book is that he was personally spoon fed by DONNA and TIM. this pdf sports illustrated article written by GORANT is hosted on NCRC :-)

JAMES SULLIVAN  this fresh faced punk journalist is described as a culture critic.
"In 19th-century England, one dog breed was known as the “nanny dog’’ for its exceptional relationship with children. One probable member of the same breed, writes author Jim Gorant, was a beloved World War I mascot; another was the Little Rascals’ constant companion."


ELIZABETH A BROWN  journalist writing for the christian science monitor.
"If readers are surprised to find an entire book devoted to these dogs, here’s another upset: Our image of pit bulls couldn’t be further from the truth. The Staffordshire bull terriers, from which the American pit bull terrier descends, were known to be so gentle that in the 1800s they were called “nanny dogs,” ideal to be left alone with babies."


JOE WOESTENDIEK  (a pulitzer prize winning journalist - LOL!) the omidog blogger wrote a puff piece about one of JANE SAUL ROTROSEN BERKEY'S literary clients.

BRENT TOELLNER  pit zealot, blogger and marketing/advertising slime ball.

ANDREW ROZSA  psychologist, irresponsible pit bull owner and a very bad neighbor. his comment about the 'nanny dog' is actually comical.
"A Google search of the phrase “nanny dog historical fact” yields 1.5 million hits, much of it “”noise.” However, the vast majority of hits on the top few pages will be supportive of the idea, while the minority who calls us “nutters,”  holds the opinion that this is a myth."
witness proof of assertion in action.


YONAH WARD GROSSMAN  this idiot is just way too confident in his position. he reminds me of another Mark Twain quote, "It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so." GROSSMAN wrote about the nanny dog, not just once but twice. his blog posts went viral.

JOSHUA HOLLAND  this idiot calls himself the truth vigilante.
"For most of the 114 years since the American pitbull terrier was first recognized by the United Kennel Club, the breed was rightly seen as the perfect “nanny dog” for children because of its friendly nature, loyalty and stability. As the ASPCA notes, the pitbulls were “once considered especially non-aggressive to people."

(shame on you alternet, i expect more from you!)


PAMELA KRAMER  "Although pit bulls are still suffering from discrimination, this book will go a long way toward the day when they will no longer carry the stigma of "fighting" dog, but rather the appellation "nanny" dog, once again (as they were known years ago)."

i expect this crap from the examiner. afterall, they provide CINDY MARABITO and PENNY EIMS with a platform to spread their lies and propaganda. but the christian science monitor? boston.com? alternet? c'mon!


PIT BULL RESCUE CENTRAL 'faq' LOL!
They are often referred to as "nanny dogs" because they are excellent with children.


JASON MANN (pitbulllovers.com)
4. Pit Bulls are great with kids. They weren't referred to as the "nanny's dog" for nothing that's for sure.


CELIA SUE HECHT a best friends groupie

COASTAL CANINE MAG fall 2012

IAN DUNBAR you'd be hard pressed to find a more spectacular display of stupidity from a so-called expert. DUNBAR doesn't actually mouth the words NANNY and DOG but his meaning is undeniable as he tells viewers that pit bulls are his first choice for child psych wards because pit bulls don't care if kids pull their tails. ISYN.


SHERIDAN FRENCH
"Below is a great, short article that gives a brief history of Pit Bulls and brings to attention that the breed has become very misunderstood and misrepresented. Please, please read in order to educate yourself on this wonderful dog, a breed that used to be known as the Nanny Dog." 
scroll to the bottom for the photo of her toddler hanging on her pit bull while the pit bull is eating two feet from her other dog who also has his face in the food bowl.


KEITH L. KENDRICK a pit bull fanatic in oregon
"So despite being known as the "nanny dog" in the early 1900's, as well as in the United States as a well regarded all purpose family dog good with children, because of such highly distorted journalism Pit Bulls immediately became the top demon dog."


i have pdf copies of all of these (and more) just in case the FTC comes a knockin'.

“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” 
~John F. Kennedy

so, to recap - BADRAP, i don't believe you and i don't forgive you.

"The Dark and Secret Life of Jane Berkey"

FORCED ENTRY. sounds like a headline for a pit bull home invasion.

ever have one of those days when nothing and i do mean NOTHING is going right, then wham! christmas comes early?

for me, that day was yesterday.

yesterday afternoon as this scurrilous amateur blogger was working on a third cup of coffee in an attempt to wake up my little hate filled disheveled brain, i received a link to a wordpress blog.

there was no warning accompanying the link, nothing in the email to indicate the contents of the link. dead tired and oblivious to the grotesque fun that lied ahead, i reluctantly clicked on the link.

my initial response, oh c'mon, porn? swingers? orgies? WTF? why is my friend sending this shit to me?! note to self: unfriend this facebook person asap! yeah, okay i'll admit it, i'm a bit a prude. and the older i get, the more i struggle to understand the obsession with porn and sex in general but my cringing turned to a belly laugh once i realized the significance of the blog, JANE SAUL ROTROSEN BERKEY had a starring role in it. yep, old money bags was a wild one back in the day.

My girlfriend Jane had taken a job working for an aging literary agent named Kurt Hellmer who, because of his advancing age, had let his business slip, and had lost many of his authors. Jane, who was the best-read person I knew, was a quick reader with amazing retention, and she seemed to have a knack for spotting publishable manuscripts from the huge slush pile that came across her desk daily. My continuing porn involvement was not spoken about, and my plan to sell the golf film that Bill and I had made the previous summer to a television network seemed enough for Jane to tell her parents about, in order to justify her continued involvement with me.

She had been talking for a while about the two of us trolling a “Swingers” bar, looking for some erotic adventure. Jane considered herself to be on the vanguard of the sexual revolution – a master player in the game of erotica. But none of this was true. She was just a smart, manipulative “Five Towns” girl who had read too much Anais Nin, and derived considerable pleasure from creating embarrassing scenarios for her malleable and impressionable roommates from Long Island to play out. Jane herself however, seldom took risks, being uncomfortable in situations she did not control. Not wanting to be involved in one of her ridiculous sociological experiments, I made a series of excuses for not participating, but Jane was relentless. The more I resisted, the more she demanded my involvement, until finally, I gave in from sheer exhaustion. But I knew it was a mistake. Jane in a party full of Swingers? This had disaster written all over it.

porno writer, producer, director, editor, actor boyfriend shaun costello wraps up this blog post with the following:

We remained silent for the rest of the cab ride, and I let Jane out at her building on East 48th Street, then headed home. Why did she ever leave her husband, the Doctor?

oh, thank you shaun.

years ago, i stumbled on some information about JANE that I could not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, so i never blogged it. unlike nutters, i require a heavy burden of proof before i malign anyone.

JANE'S first husband, the "Doctor" that shaun mentioned... well that is John Rotrosen, a doctor of psychiatry and the director of the addiction research program at New York University’s Langone Medical Center. oh yes, quite the big wig. he was in the news just this month. see Meet The Scientists Who May Have Found The Cure For Drug Addiction.

okay, has the irony of all this sunk in yet? JANE BERKEY, the grand pooh bah of pit bulls, the mistress of the mutants of mayhem, the dog responsible for more human fatalities than all other dogs combined, was married to a shrink, a shrink that specializes in addiction and after the shrink, she dated a man who made snuff porn and she pestered him until he agreed to go to a swinger's club. vintage, where are you? this is where you interject "you can't make this stuff up!"

click the link to read the rest of the blog written by JANE'S porno boyfriend.

and don't forget to check out the labels at the bottom of the posts. wow the labels on this blog alone are a jaw dropping entertaining read.

Jane Berkey, Jane Berkey Sexual Deviate, Jane Berkey Swinger, Jane Berkey's secret sex life, Jane Berkey's sex experiments, Jane Berkey's sex life, Jane Rotrosen, Jane Rotrosen Sexual Deviate, Jane Rotrosen Swinger, Jane Rotrosen's secret sex life, Jane Rotrosen's sex experiments, Jane Rotrosen's sex life, Jane Saul, Jane Saul sexual deviate, Jane Saul Swinger, Jane Saul's secret sex life, Jane Saul's sex experiments, Jane Saul's sex life, Seventies Orgies, Sex, Sex Groups, Sex in groups, Sex in the Seventies, Sex Orgies, Sexual experimentation, The Dark and Secret Life of Jane Berkey, Wife Swapping

i think shaun has all of the bases covered. lol.

but seriously, this dude needs to put his memoirs to paper and share with the rest of us. some publisher needs to please send porno dude an advance and a sexy assistant to get his creative juices flowing and to type it up to ease his arthritis.

think about the timeline. according to JANE'S bio, she opened her literary agency in 1974 as her porno boyfriend was writing, producing, directing and starring in snuff porn. SNUFF PORN!!

an enlightening review about the snuff porn film FORCED ENTRY and the 1977 enema classic WATER POWER can be found here. warning. it is disgusting and graphic.

FORCED ENTRY, the official trailer. it's on youtube, so how bad can it be?

hey, i'm living up to my new moniker. thank you DOUGLAS ANTHONY COOPER.

preaching to the choir

preaching to the choir provides the best of both worlds. you can safely thump your superior enlightened chest atop your high horse without ever exposing yourself to criticism and ridicule. plus there is the added benefit of remaining eligible for handouts from OLD MONEY BAGS BERKEY.

i wish DIANE JESSUP and her minions would put just a little effort into educating the public and their fellow pit bull zealots.

TATONKA is one of my favorite contributors. her mantra is "reach one teach one".   

her goal is too damn low. aim for the sky ladies! ya just nevah know what you can accomplish until you try!

GREAT advice from Pete Sparks, circa 1961

by BoldogKennel » April 23rd, 2014, 3:40 am

In this day and age of Cesar Milan urging you to take Spike to the dog park, and some rescue groups telling you to put your pit bulldogs into "play groups" at the shelter, well, what is really needed is a good old fashion dose of EXPERIENCED COMMON SENSE!
(isn't it cute how jessup singles out cesar?)

Pete Sparks, love him or hate him, had his hands on a LOT of dogs. And a lot of good dogs. He usually had a couple dozen (at least) at his house. He didn't match them, but he did breed some that were, and he himself was present at all the major fights for several decades. He reported these in the magazine Your Friend and Mine for many years.

If nothing else, he knew pit bulldogs. And how to respect and manage them. Here is some advice, written in 1961 by a subscriber of the magazine and reprinted by Pete. Just think how much bad PR the breed could have avoided if this kind of common sense had been "mainstream" instead of only in an "underground" magazine. Of course, I guess the point of his article is that even when the information IS available, people just think they know better... Nothing changes!

ATTENTION PIT NUTTERS: if you want a real education about your precious gripper, head on over to JESSUP'S forum. pay special attention to TATONKA. she knows her stuff. sure, their masks of sanity occasionally slip, but their honesty is refreshing. you will find some of the most knowledgeable people on the interwebs to help guide you with your purpose bred dog. you will be an expert at managing mutant DNA in no time.

and tell them CRAVEN sent you!

pit nutter roundup: the final edition

i can't remember the last time i updated an ancient blog post. the new comment just submitted was fucking irresistible and i could not allow it to languish in the comments of a 2 year old story.
thank you anonymous reader.

i know that feeling!


garland county, arkansas the mutant sleeper cell awakened. four attacks in three days. time to talk ban.



godfrey, illinois looks like PRECIOUS finally succeeded in getting her well deserved dirt nap, let the lawsuit begin. the full story is HERE.




"Reason I grew this beard is to protect me from porkypine quills. Mans gotta eat!"

cloverport, kentucky chain buster RAMBO drew first blood when he launched an unprovoked attack on a 57 yr old deaf mute women minding her own business and walking down the street. lucky for her, neighbors saw the "scuffle" and came to her aid seeing how she is unable to cry for help. FUCK! the good Samaritans (who appear utterly traumatized in the news video) reported RAMBO as ripping chunks of flesh and swallowing it.
the confederate flag waving redneck put on a convincing performance for the tv news crew. he looked remorseful or it could just be that he had a good buzz on. (yes, i openly and proudly discriminate against fucktards who pimp this flag. they may as well wear a swastika.)

HEY JANE! DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY MAKE IT ANY FUCKING EASIER FOR IDIOTS TO ADOPT YOUR PRECIOUS GRIPPER?





“They’re people dogs. They’re friendly. They’re going to go in your house. They’re not there to eat anybody.” JASON COLVIN aka JAY COLVIN aka SOLDIER JAY

three weeks earlier, the same mutants broke into the same house and mauled an elderly dachshund.


BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO. THESE MUTANTS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.

"You're my new pimp? Where's the balloons, the candy, the million dollar check? And F!! It's 1:30 in the EFFING DAYTIME!!!"

"This is how you wave in Pageants and Parades. Professional secret!"

"Oh dear God! Did I leave the meth crock burning?!"

I'm thinking of a platinum-blond basket-weave 10 inch high updo like Nurse Chapel in the first and finest Star Trek, but fear it will detract from my futurewear blue sack garment. (Impervious to phaser fire!")

What shall I and the ladies discuss at today's book club? I have been a bit lax in completing 'A Brief History Of Time'

KIMBERLY VASQUEZ - i could not decide which screen shot to use. what the hell, use 'em all!

longview, washington MEET THE VASQUEZ CLAN! neighbors are fed up with this vermin and who can blame them!? they are sick and tired of being terrorized by their frankenmauler. the most recent attack involved a 5 yr old on a bike. the mutant's rabies certificate was forged and of course, she was not licensed. and prego pittie is now on the lam. (gots to save dem puppees cuz every man biting sperm is sacred) authorities are searching for the gripper in the hope of sparing the 5 yr old from enduring the excruciating series of rabies shots while NIK VASQUEZ boasts to the news crew about hiding the pregnant gripper. the atavistic matriarch's long criminal record consists of forgery and theft. mom is a tweeker thief and junior is obviously a psychopath and the entire family is soon to be homeless. the landlord said they violated the rental agreement by having a pit bull. the case is now on the desk of the county prosecutor.

how i wish we could sterilize the entire family. two generations of psychopaths & imbeciles (that we know of) is enough.

this punk ought to be sitting in jail until the dog is presented to the authorities. but my fingers are crossed that she will maul one of the friends who is aiding and abetting this criminal riffraff.

Hare's Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R)


(i hope to upload a photo on this one soon)
everett, washington chomping spree a pit bull and a boxer got loose and went on a "chomping spree" biting 5 people, including a police officer and killing a cat before it was all over. the boxer is under quarantine and the mutant was killed with the taser (LOL). why is it when these pack attacks are interracial, it is always the gripper that is killed and the non gripper taken into custody? another reasonable question, since everett classifies ALL pit bulls as POTENTIALLY dangerous, why wasn't this pit's threat level increased to DANGEROUS after it bit a kid and then menaced a woman and her baby?
according to everett municipal code 6.08.010 Definitions of dangerous dogs:
3. Any dog known by the owner to be a pit bull terrier, which shall be defined in this chapter as any American Pit Bull Terrier or Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier breed of dog or any mixed breed of dog which contains as an element of its breeding the breed of American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier as to be identifiable as partially of the breed of American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier.



JUNE MAXAM (follow the links on this one. she is a pip!)

new york netherworld cyber gazette is covering fallout from the Solesky v Nutter ruling.
JUNE MAXAM a former ACO, convicted felon, pit nutter (a nutter in EVERY sense of the word), turned "journalist" has her panties in a twist over the reports on the wave of discarded grippers in the aftermath of the landmark ruling. thank goodness the HSUS has stepped up to the plate (with jane's money no doubt) to ensure that every gripper is given the opportunity to achieve self-actualization. why it is down right CRUEL to deny pittie alpaca faces. just look at how happy self-actualized pitties are.




remember last's month's brutal police shooting of poor pittie?

new york city the mutant known as STAR survived that shooting. her vet bill is nearly $10K and has been covered by donations, paid in large part by BERKEY'S flunkies no doubt. STAR lost an eye and her hearing but she will live to attack again. according to other pit owning street scum, STAR has bitten before. she is apparently very protective of her derelict master, LECH STANKIEWICZ who is awol. STAR'S nutter apparently had a warrant and was arrested. all the pit nutters seem unable to read those words in the sea of OMGPOORPITTIES!!!!! and COPS ARE MEANIES!!! but no need to worry about STAR, she has her very own............... FACEBOOK PAGE!!!!!!! and the little man biter has almost 3000 facebook friends and has caught the attention of the LEXUS PROJECT. you can see lots of before and after photos.



“He tried to get to him. I shut the crate, but couldn't lock it. So, he had chomped on my … one bite on my arm. That was it. I bit him on the nose to release."

jeannette, pennsylvania DONNA GREINER is out of the hospital. it appears there was exaggeration over the damage done to her arm and her desire to put distance between herself and her dogs. DONNA has 6 dogs now and plans to add more in the future. her neighbors are just thrilled. i am a firm believer in one strike, you're out. i think these nutters are entitled to one 911 response. after that, they are on their own.



greenback, tennessee there's a new kid on the no kill rescue block, the 725 Henry Lane block to be exact. ANGELA BURRUSS is in the process of filing the necessary paperwork to start up her very own 501C3 and realizing her dream to become a NO KILL pit rescue and eventually a certified dog trainer so she can add to the already bloated population of fake service pits. bitten by the pittie bug 12 years ago and suffering from a degenerative disease the pit lady is ready to turn her passion and hobby into a legal charity. keep an eye out for DOUBLE A PIT RESCUE. i think we'll be hearing about this one.

“I never turn down blankets and towels — or metal food bowls because pits chew everything,” she laughed. yeah, EVERYTHING and that includes chain link, trees, window screens, garage doors, drywall, plumbing, mail carriers, cops, grandfathers, toddlers, alpacas, horses, dogs and of course their owners - my personal fave.

NOTE: to prevent disorientation, before you launch into this lovely hybristophiliac's photo album, repeat after me : this is NOT the people of walmart, this is NOT the people of walmart, this is NOT the people of walmart, this is NOT the people of walmart.



JOHNNY HENDERSON and MONSTER

battle creek, michigan this 27 yr old pit bull owner was arrested after he sicced his mutant on Zachary Baldwin. Baldwin's crime was serving HENDERSON with an eviction notice.

be sure to keep up with the great unwashed at four legged friends and enemies and dogsbite decatur. i don't think i can do this anymore. the human race is really bringing me down. i am afraid the only solution is starting to look like a serious culling of both human and canine mutants.



sundre, alberta 57 yr old RITA PHILLIP sicced her two mutants on 26 yr old Deanna Wolfe. Wolfe suffered life threatening injuries. PHILLIP fled following the attack. she was picked up at a casino, then she missed her first court appearance. on the 29th, the judge denied her bail.


dogs deserve better

Tamira Thayne, dogs deserve better

search warrants were hand delivered to michael vick's estate again. this time the charges are not organized dog fighting, although there are reports of impromptu dog fighting aka yard accidents. but that is to be expected with pit bulls.

there are allegations of animal cruelty of rescued dogs. current and past employees and volunteers claim that mace and tasers were used on the dogs. they also claim the dogs were kept 19+ hours in their crates. employees state that dog fights broke out and the dogs did not receive veterinary care. that's the problem with keeping dogs that were BRED TO KILL EACH OTHER. there really is NO safe way to house or control them.

one dog, a pit bull named JADA was seized along with her vet records.

Thayne goes to court september 25th.

i wonder what DDB's celebrity endorsers would think about fighting, mace, tasers, excessive crating and no vet care?

Bloody Money Trail

Last October, a pit bull from the Longmont Humane Society attacked a neighbor and his dog. The investigators discovered that the pit bull had a history of biting both humans and animals and had been declared dangerous in Mesa. The investigators also realized that a disproportionate number of dog bites were from dogs adopted out of LHS.

I decided to look into this further and I found that the humane society was an hour drive north of Denver and Aurora, two cities despised by pit bull zealots for their breed bans. I also discovered that LHS had an interesting benefactor: ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATION.

Between 2009 and 2012, LHS received over $35,000 from the AFF. The AFF paid $50 for every pit bull LHS adopted out and $150 for every pit bull that received a CGC plus there were several large lump sum donations for "adoption incentives".

Click here to read the ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATION'S version of LHS rags to riches story.



AFF 990s can be viewed here and here.

Last Friday, Klonda Richey was killed by her neighbors' gripping dogs when she took out the garbage. It didn't take long for word to leak out that the victim had made numerous complaints to animal control. Dogsbite.org has uploaded all of the complaints against the owners, ANDREW NASON and JULIE CUSTER and AC's pathetic responses. Some of the more chilling complaints, indicate that NASON and CUSTER used their mutants to threaten and intimidate the victim. Klonda Richey was so frightened of the dogs that she sought a protection order with the court. Magistrate KRISTI WUEBBEN refused to grant it.

You can read all of the gory details at dogsbite.org.

The state of Ohio is of special interest to me, so I looked further into the Montgomery County Dog Warden, MARK KUMPF.

His facebook page was a regular pity party, with KUMPF whining about his worst day ever. His friends and coworkers rallied to show their support for the pudgy slug. The entire discussion has since been deleted but I copied it below. It is a sickening display considering a woman who repeatedly asked his department for help and protection is dead because of KUMPF'S lack of action.

Apparently, when the Montgomery County Dog Warden comes a knocking, all you have to do is ignore him and he goes away. Unfortunately the problem doesn't. It's impossible to feel one iota of sympathy for KUMPF'S worst day in his life when you consider the details of Klonda Richey's slow brutal agonizing death.

Back to the pity party.

There were a few familiar names; JEAN KEATING, TAMIRA CI THAYNE, DAISY BALAWEJDER, but one particular supporter of KUMPF is worthy of highlighting.







STACEY JACOBS - COLEMAN is the executive director for the ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATION.

I dug deeper into KUMPF'S facebook page and found a photo of him posing with old money bags herself, JANE SAUL ROTROSEN BERKEY, the grand poobah of the AFF.

It is important to note that KUMPF, along with another Ohio Dog Warden MATT GRANITO, local pit bull activist JEAN KEATING and LEDY VANKAVAGE were instrumental in overturning Ohio's pit bull law in 2012 which has been addressed in depth at Scorched Earth. Both GRANITO and KUMPF are known to have close ties with the Utah Cult and LEDY VANKAVAGE. VANKAVAGE also occupies a seat on the AFF board of directors. And now we see a direct connection between Ohio and the New York Cult. It's a small world.

Mark Kumpf

Been in animal control since August 1989. Today counts as the hardest day I have ever had and the worst case I have responded to in my career. Can't say enough good things about the professionals at the ARC - ACCO's Torbin Peterson, Brian Baker & Kandi Angi Broadus & Dr Kelly Meyer and all the folks who helped work our case today.

  Marilyn Karch Bourdow As I came down Riverside Drive after work tonight, there were two dogs fornicating right beside the road near Bruce! I normally stop and try to help strays, but I was too scared. This was a horrible thing to have happened and could have happened to any person in the area. The dogs were probably mistreated and not fed. So sorry you had to go through that, Mark.

  Steve Knick I can't even imagine what it would have been like to be on that case. You, your team, and all the other first responders on this case deserve a great big thank you from the rest of us who don't have to deal with what you went though today (and every day for that matter). THANK YOU for all you do.

  Cindy Broome Kind of hate when there’s a conversation where everyone seems to know the story, but the details for those who don’t know the principals are far from clear. Thanks to some hints here, I found this link, which will tell the story if you, too, were in the dark. Terrible tragedy, indeed. Very sad.

  Joann Hughes Such a tragedy. Thank you for your service. As the mother of a first responder I can tell you that most everyone pauses when a tragedy happens and then they I go right on about their business never thinking what first responders go through day after day. It is the aftermath, the images in their heads of what they experienced and saw that make their jobs so much different than the average person. Sleepless nights, bad dreams etc. The community does appreciate you and some of us empathize and appreciate more because we have a loved one that has survived an event that changed their lives. Take care of yourself and staff.

  Sharon Harvey So, so sorry, Mark ...

• 

  Mindy Moore Bacon So sorry this has happened in your community, or anywhere for that matter. I also know that there are few who can manage this crisis better than you.

  Michael Martin My heart goes out to the victim in this crime. She was taunted and harrassed by these dog owners and appealed to agencies for help for months. And, Mark, you said today that this was unpreventable? Wow...

  Mark Kumpf Our agency responded to every call we received. We had no legal grounds to take any action beyond issuing warnings as we never witnessed a violation. Our citations cannot be issued on a complaint, we have to see a dog in violation. The criteria for declaring a dog dangerous requires a bite (never bit anyone), killing a dog (never killed another dog), or convicted of 3 at large violations (never cited as neither the ARC or Dayton Police have witnessed them at large). Dogs are personal property and we cannot confiscate them based on a complaint only. With no legal basis to remove the dogs, our agency had no way to prevent this from happening. As noted in my press release this evening, our office never received an identified complaint from Klonda as our calls a(12 of 13) were anonymous. We received no calls from September on. The calls were not all dogs at large either. Several we're for conditions or barking. I agree that this is a terriBle tragedy, I spent the day at the scene with my officers and the Dayton police. We all wish it hadn't happened but in the end, the only people who could have prevented this are the two under investigation by the Dayton police.

  Scott Giacoppo Mark, you and your team are top notch, it's a part of the job we all pray we never have to deal with, the community is lucky to have such trained professionals like yourself. You're in our thoughts, stay strong.

  Laura Gonzo My thoughts are with you and your team, Mark. Also with friends and family of the victim. It's just awful.

ONE lone voice called KUMPF out. And ONE person agreed. I was compelled to join him.

The comments at the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center facebook page are not so warm and fuzzy.

this blog post will most certainly be updated as the sad story of Klonda Richey and her murderers - NASON, CUSTER, KUMPF, WUEBBEN and yes VANKAVAGE & BERKEY, continues to unfold. expect a block buster of a blog post from Scorched Earth too.
