OPPOSE SB 5094!
RE: SB 5904: http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2017-18/Pdf/Bills/Senate%20Bills/5094.pdf#page=1
Dear Senate Local Government Committee chair Brian Dansel:
Please oppose SB 5094!
If passed, SB 5094 would prevent Washington cities and towns from effectively preventing fatal and disfiguring dog attacks before they happen, by preventing communities from adopting legislation pertaining specifically to pit bulls, pit mixes, and a few closely related breeds, cumulatively less than 7% of the U.S. dog population, but responsible nonetheless for more than 80% of all dog-inflicted fatal and disfiguring injuries.
We are Washington residents and voters since 1996.
I am a journalist and statistician, working on news beats pertaining to animals, public health, and occupational safety for more than 45 years. My wife Beth is a former police officer, animal control officer, veterinary technician, and pit bull rescuer.
Since 1982 we have logged and analyzed fatal and disfiguring dog attacks throughout the U.S. and Canada, more recently adding logs specific to India, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. In every nation the data is strikingly similar: pit bulls, pit mixes, pit variants such as the “American bully,” and closely related breeds such as the bull mastiff, Presa Canario, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasiliero account for 80%-plus of fatal and disfiguring attacks. This is no surprise, because historically these breeds have been bred specifically for fighting, and farther back ancestrally, to guard slaves and wage war.
You may read the latest data pertaining to dog attacks on humans, complete through 2016, when 91% of human death and disfigurement victims were injured by pit bulls, at:
http://www.animals24-7.org/2017/01/03/91-of-dog-attack-disfigurement-victims-in-2016-were-mauled-by-pit-bulls/
The complete statistics, 1982-present, showing that over the past 34 years, 88% of the human victims of fatal or disfiguring dog attacks were injured by pit bulls and their closest canine relatives, are here:
http://www.animals24-7.org/2017/01/03/dog-attack-deaths-maimings-u-s-canada-1982-2016/
The data pertaining to dog attacks on other animals, 2013-present, showing that 87% of the dogs who kill or badly injure other animals are pit bulls, are here:
http://www.animals24-7.org/2017/01/11/record-32550-pit-bulls-killed-or-badly-injured-other-animals-in-the-u-s-in-2016/

http://www.animals24-7.org/2016/01/21/links-to-more-than-100-reasons-why-breed-specific-legislation-needs-to-be-enforced-and-reinforced/
Finally, let me call to your attention a table which appears at the very end of the data logs, 1982-present:

2016 4969 752 1901 241 2074 351 366 25 3255 585
The Best Friends Animal Society, American Veterinary Medical Association, and ASPCA introduced their ongoing campaigns to repeal breed-specific legislation between 1992 and 2001. Note that the numbers of fatal and disfiguring pit bull attacks on humans have been higher in every year since 2002 than in the entire decade 1982-1992.
The Humane Society of the U.S. joined them in 2008. Since then, the total number of pit bulls involved in fatal and disfiguring attacks each year has increased nearly tenfold, the number of child victims per year is up nearly fivefold, the number of adult victims per year has increased nearly tenfold, there were record numbers of fatalities in five out of nine years, and the number of disfigurements per year has increased eleven times over.
Again, please oppose SB 5094!
Thank you,
Merritt & Beth Clifton

the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long
Or a seventh as long compared to Leah Purcell. Purcell managed to run her dog rescue grifter operation for 28 years!
When Markwell was approached by some of the local color in Forks, WA for a pit bull, he told them, "Don't come around here anymore. Tell your friends the dogs are dangerous, but the owner's worse."
Foreshadow. lol.
Steve Markwell burst onto the dog rescue scene in 2009 armed with promises, grand pie in the sky plans and a handful of fairy dust to sprinkle into the lattes of gullible rescue angels only to find himself in a heap of legal trouble four years later.
Fast forward to 2015. This week MARKWELL admitted to violating the Charitable Solicitation Act and its Consumer Protection Act. The Washington state dog whisperer and one time speaker on the subject of breed specific legislation at the University of Washington Law School (page 4) in 2012 faces fines totaling $96,000 for 48 violations plus over $20,000 in legal fees after soliciting over $360,000 in donations to his house of horrors charity from 2009 to 2011. The judge could also order MARKWELL to return the money that he duped from fellow no kill kooks. MOMMY!
A few gullible political correct organizations pimped Markwell out and presented him as someone to respect and mimic but only Idea Mensch deleted the piece they ran on Markwell in 2009 (good thing i saved a pdf!). He is still listed as number 32 of 33 entrepreneurs who make this world a better place but his individual spotlight has been purged from their website. You would think that an honest organization would seize the moment to teach people of the dangers of con artists instead of sloppily trying to bury the truth. Even the famous psychopath researcher, Dr. Robert Hare admits that he can be fooled by these creatures.

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
this dude needs a reality check!
deer park, texas JAY COLVIN is in the running for most irresponsible pit nutter. not one but TWO home invasions in less than a month!
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.

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?

anti-BSL stealth bombs
UPDATE
more anti-BSL bills on the horizon.
Aurora, Colorado attorney GEORGE BROWN is spearheading a citizen initiative to try and make Colorado the first no kill state. ballot initiatives are those public vote thingees that BRENT TOELLNER spoke out against last weekend. and no surprise, there is anti-BSL language in it. i bet TOELLNER is not against this one.
NO DOG SHALL BE DEEMED IRREDEEMABLY HOSTILE OR AGGRESSIVE BASED ON BREED OR PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. page 2, paragraph 3. (5)(B)
BROWN feels that we are "executing" shelter animals and there has to be a better way. yes, there is. it is called MANDATORY SPAY AND NEUTER! hmmm..i wonder if BROWN has given any thought to the "execution" of the millions of farm animals to feed dogs and cats or the thousands of animals mutilated and "executed" by gripping dogs. but there is hope in the the form of opposition to the initiative. the president of the president of the Colorado Federation of Animal Welfare Agencies, Lisa Pederson questions the initiative's practicality citing among other things, “The amendment will also hinder a shelter’s ability to protect the public from dangerous dogs. That’s a primary part of our function in the community."
WHOA! someone involved in animal welfare is actually expressing concern for the safety of the public. public safety? that's a novel idea!
on january 31st, Vermont democrat David Potter introduced H 775. this bill prohibits local municipalities from banning certain breeds of dogs.
on february 4, Utah democrat Brian S. King introduced HB 97 to prohibit a municipality from enacting or enforcing a breed specific rule, regulation, policy or ordinance about dogs.
Georgia Republicans Knight, Roberts, Burns, Ehrhart and Shaw have introduced HB 409 to prohibit local governments from adopting certain regulations pertaining to animals; limit authority of local governments to establish dog control regulations; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
NO local authority will be able to:
1) require spay and neuter
2) require higher licensing fees for "animals" not spayed or neutered
3) prevent the ownership, breeding, transfer, purchase, tethering, training or transportation of dogs used for the lawful pursuit of game, field trials, shows or disability services
4) ban the sale or ownership of any specific breed of dog or cat
Maryland HB 422 prohibits the discrimination of dogs based on breed, type or heritage
South Dakota SB 75 prevents BSL at the local government level (cute photo of a yorkie at this this link)
anti-BSL initiatives are stealthily being introduced in missouri and washington.
in december 2013 Rep Ron Hicks filed HB 1116. it has slowly and quietly gained support but a hearing has not yet been scheduled. the entire bill can be read here.
a few days later Rep Sherry Appleton (dem) filed HB 2117. to date, three other democrats have jumped on the band wagon. the entire bill can be read here. it is scheduled for a hearing @ 8 am on thursday, the 16th. i sure do hope that good Samaritan Ranger Rob plans to attend. Ranger Rob, please snag LEDY'S autograph for me. mucho gracias!
unable to attend?
no problemo!
you will be able to join in the fun and watch the excitement live.
on another interesting note, Rep Sherry Appleton is also working to restrict lethal force self defense laws. i think these two laws compliment each other, don't you?

Spanaway Washington Pit Bull Rampage
a mutant has taken another life.
the following is the witness statement of the heroic man who came to the aid of the victim of the most recent fatal pit bull attack. he was also brutally attacked.
Ranger Rob 2 hours ago
Driving southbound on SR7 from the American Lake VA Hospital I saw a middle aged heavy set woman jumping and screaming for help on the other side and then I saw two dogs mauling something in the ditch. Assuming the worst, her child I veered to the center land, hit the hazards and jumping out bounding across two lanes of heavy traffic at 0900 on October 30th to find two pit bulls mauled a senior Asian woman. This woman was clearly severely injured and unable to defend herself as the two dog had her quartered and ripping arm and leg. Her clothes were already half ripped off and deep lacerations were clearly evident. I immediately start growing, yelling and punching the larger male pit bull in the nose as both dog turned their attack to me. Punching both dogs to lured them into oncoming traffic, I focused my attack on the alpha male and kicked at the female dog to insure both pursued me into traffic to use the passing vehicles as weapons since I was unarmed due to visiting the VA and passing through Joint Base Lewis McChord, Russian Roulette being better than certain death. Unfortunately a white sedan missed me and stopped short of hitting the larger male pit bull. I advanced on the animal taking control pounding its head into the road as the small female got my left upper thigh. Once that female dog locked on my thigh I tried to through the larger male pit bull into the next lane of traffic as a desperate act but the collar broke. I knew I had to stop traffic to get help. When that collar broke I turned my blows to the female's nose to break her locked jaw on my thigh. With success I immediate lunged on to the white sedan that was blocking one lane of traffic to catch my breath and access the situation. The male pit bull got my leather sneaker and was trying to pull me from the hood on the car. I saw cars stopping and a truck driving up the side walk to the woman location and the female dog was back at the old woman again as I kicked the male in the nose. I jumped and run to the ditch for the female dog to get it off the woman again as the male dog pursued me. I laid into the female dog punching and two men approached from different direction to the woman and the truck that came up the side walk. The three men were able to distract the male pit bull as I attacked the female pit again to get it off the victim. The female dog pursue me back into the street as I continued punching hoping the two men and truck driver would be able to keep the larger male dog off me. I shouted orders to the truck driver to run that dog down and kill it while the two men kept it off as I fought the female back into the street. One man was bit by the male dog while I was fighting the female in the middle of the street. Bystanders were approaching and some woman actually screamed at me to leave that dog alone!!!! I was slowing with exhaustion and the male pit bull left the man, truck and victim and came to the female pit bulls aide. In total exhaustion and was unable to counter the attack and the male dog locked onto my right forearm and latched cracking bones and ripping flesh. The cracking of bone was an instant shock and an eternity of hesitation. I punched it nose and pulled to prevent my arm from elbow or shoulder damage as I was taken down. The female bit my left punching fist so I used her head to hit the male dog and break it hold. Only with God's help it worked and I crawled to the hood of the white sedan again with female dog pulling at my feet. Unable to continue severely injured myself, I scrambled to the roof of the car. The pickup driver on the sidewalk in his truck next to the victim fired a personal sidearm as the male pit bull return to the two men and victim. I thank the off duty soldier and promised to bear witness. The inured male dog fled. With the knowledge of backup I scrambled to the victim to access and triage but the female dog returned to me and the victim. I gave orders of assessment to a new male bystander for the triage of the victim as I had to fight the female dog again. Due to shock, injury and exhaustion the female dog was able to easy lock onto my injured right forearm and able to crack bone again. With a punch to the nose I was able to return to the victim and make a visual of the injuries, Deep laceration to the all extremities with bicep hanging. I order the victim covered from the cold until professional help arrived. I scampered to my vehicle to call Brenda Roman to get the kids to school and come to my location and help me back to the hospital. As police approached I directed and order them to kill female pit bull as I limped back toward the animal that the men were keeping abbey from me and the victim. Three Sheriffs isolated the dog as I directed paramedics to the victim not me. Once the police finally shot the last dog and I was answering the medic’s questions I provided the police with ID and initial brief. Medics recommend I go with them, but I choose to return to my clinic where I knew everyone. Injured soldier that helped offered ride to nearby Madigan Army Hospital. Again I declined choosing to return to my Urgent Care at American Lake VA Hospital where I know everyone.

When that collar broke I turned my blows to the female's nose to break her locked jaw on my thigh. With success I immediate lunged on to the white sedan that was blocking one lane of traffic to catch my breath and access the situation. The male pit bull got my leather sneaker and was trying to pull me from the hood on the car. I saw cars stopping and a truck driving up the side walk to the woman location and the female dog was back at the old woman again as I kicked the male in the nose. I jumped and run to the ditch for the female dog to get it off the woman again as the male dog pursued me. I laid into the female dog punching and two men approached from different direction to the woman and the truck that came up the side walk. The three men were able to distract the male pit bull as I attacked the female pit again to get it off the victim. The female dog pursue me back into the street as I continued punching hoping the two men and truck driver would be able to keep the larger male dog off me. I shouted orders to the truck driver to run that dog down and kill it while the two men kept it off as I fought the female back into the street. One man was bit by the male dog while I was fighting the female in the middle of the street. Bystanders were approaching and some woman actually screamed at me to leave that dog alone!!!! I was slowing with exhaustion and the male pit bull left the man, truck and victim and came to the female pit bulls aide. In total exhaustion and was unable to counter the attack and the male dog locked onto my right forearm and latched cracking bones and ripping flesh. The cracking of bone was an instant shock and an eternity of hesitation. I punched it nose and pulled to prevent my arm from elbow or shoulder damage as I was taken down. The female bit my left punching fist so I used her head to hit the male dog and break it hold. Only with God's help it worked and I crawled to the hood of the white sedan again with female dog pulling at my feet. Unable to continue severely injured myself, I scrambled to the roof of the car. The pickup driver on the sidewalk in his truck next to the victim fired a personal sidearm as the male pit bull return to the two men and victim. I thank the off duty soldier and promised to bear witness. The inured male dog fled. With the knowledge of backup I scrambled to the victim to access and triage but the female dog returned to me and the victim. I gave orders of assessment to a new male bystander for the triage of the victim as I had to fight the female dog again. Due to shock, injury and exhaustion the female dog was able to easy lock onto my injured right forearm and able to crack bone again. With a punch to the nose I was able to return to the victim and make a visual of the injuries, Deep laceration to the all extremities with bicep hanging. I order the victim covered from the cold until professional help arrived. I scampered to my vehicle to call Brenda Roman to get the kids to school and come to my location and help me back to the hospital. As police approached I directed and order them to kill female pit bull as I limped back toward the animal that the men were keeping abbey from me and the victim. Three Sheriffs isolated the dog as I directed paramedics to the victim not me. Once the police finally shot the last dog and I was answering the medic’s questions I provided the police with ID and initial brief. Medics recommend I go with them, but I choose to return to my clinic where I knew everyone. Injured soldier that helped offered ride to nearby Madigan Army Hospital. Again I declined choosing to return to my Urgent Care at American Lake VA Hospital where I know everyone.
This
write-up is my legal deposition as submitted to the police concerning
this case. I will speak and work with the DA and feel I must do more do
this this recent loss. I will write a Bill, this is a issue worthy a
champion, time for legislation concerning dangerous dog breed, large dog
insurance and service working dog licensing clarification. All input
welcomed
A Veteran at the VA informed me today that he was attacked and severely injured by his own pit bull some years ago.

Lucy is a 2 year old American Bulldog that we are wanting to re-home out of Kitsap County. Lucy jumped over a baby gate and got into a fight with another dog in her yard and bit the other dogs owner. Per Kitsap Animal Control Lucy is a danger and has to be isolated, away from other people and has to be muzzled when leaving the house. Lucy was protecting her environment and she is being punished by it. Lucy is fun, lots of energy, very lovable and funny. She was named after Lucille Ball as she has that goofy funny disposition. Lucy loves to give smooches and sit on your lap. She needs to have grain free food as she has a sensitive tummy and sometimes needs rice and yogurt if her tummy is bothering her. Lucy is updated on all shots. She does have allergies and takes Benadryl everyday and we keep a bottle of liquid Benadryl for bee stings. Lucy loves to go for car rides, does not care for the dog park because she wants to make sure her family is taken care of and she loves the lake but hates having a bath (silly girl) Lucy can self entertain but loves to be around her family. Lucy goes no where without her blankie and will drag it around if she is tired. Lucy likes to be placed behind the baby gate when it is to busy in the house or she wants to sleep. She also has been kennel trained but likes to just be outside mommy's door at night with her blanket and gait up. There is so much to say about Lucy. She has been a great addition to our family for the last year.
compatibility: good w/most dogs, good w/most cats, good w/ kids & adults
personality: average energy, average temperament
att: washington nutters: dog aggressive, bite history, dangerous dog designation, mandatory muzzle, food issues, allergies, in home gate system (which she has proven she can easily breach) LUCY is a real bargain @ $400.
meanwhile in pennsylvania, there's an everything must go sale...
Hello. My name is Frank McManus. I need to rehome my pit bulls as soon as possible. The State of Pennsylvania has deemed them "dangerous dogs" for attacking another dog.
Mor is 14 months old and is a pure bred old family red nose pit bull. She is about fifty pounds. She does have problems with other animals but not with Finn who she lives with. She has been toy aggressive with Finn on two occasions. She is not food aggressive and loves people. Super high energy. Needs spayed.
Finn is 3 years old and is well socialized, very mellow and a great boy. He is around 75 pounds. He is a rescue from the Harrisburg Humane Society. He is fixed.
Rehoming my dogs is my only option. Being considered dangerous dogs they will never be able to go on a walk again and my landlord will evict me if I do not remove them. I must seek an out of state rescue so that they are not considered "dangerous dogs" which they are not. Finn has never had a problem before. Plays well at the groomer and dog park. Mor needs socialization which has always been a challenge.
I am devastated about having to give them up. I have already been to court for it. However if they were to get out of the gate again they may be put down. And as I said before, as of now, they cant go for a walk ever again and I may be evicted. I am in a terrible position. I never want to leave them but I am being forced to.
My phone number is 717810XXXX. wIf you are able to help PLEASE contact me. I only have 48 hours. I am a long time pit bull lover and I am informed enough to know that all rescues are in a tough spot. But they are great dogs and do not deserve this condemnation. I would be willing to make as large of a donation as I can if you can find a place for them at your rescue.
Thank you for your time,
Frank McManus
that's what FRANK'S friends say about him. i'd say that's a good start.
i had a lot of questions. i hoped to find the answers on facebook but it just left me with more questions. questions like, why did this mangina drive all the way to georgia, fork over $1500 for an OFR when the shelters in pennysylvania are bursting at the seams with pit bulls? especially in light of the fact that even his friends were saying he needed ANOTHER dog like he needed a hole in his head, indicating that he was struggling with the one mutant. why is this dufus surprised that he can't handle a dog that has been intensively bred for combat for almost 200 years? why does a successful tattoo artist, who can afford to drive to georgia and pay $1500 for a FREAKING DIME A DOZEN PIT BULL, need to trade tattoos for firearms? why doesn't he just purchase them? unless of course, he legally can't. why is he moving? why did his june pride in his little mutant's first kill turn into a desperate need to unload her in august?
I need to find my puppy a home. Her name is Mor. She is one year old and about 45 pounds. She is an old family red nose pit bull. So she is not a rescue. She is a very rare bloodline. It took me two years, a trip to Georgia and 1500 dollars to get her. You can read about the old family bloodline at www.bryantsreddevils.com. Because of a highly selective breeding program she is highly intelligent, highly prey driven and extremely athletic. But also a loving and cuddly playful pup. This being stated, whoever is interested in adopting her must be aware that she is a handful. She needs training, time, effort an patience. You must be her pack leader. With classes and socialization and TLC she will grow up to be an incredible dog. She has climbed a six foot fence, killed a possum and fought another dog. This is not because of aggression. It is because of high prey drive and energy. She lives with another male dog now and they are great friends so she has the ability to be good with other dogs. I do not want to give her up. She is amazing. But I have had a difficult time training and socializing her. She needs much more time and effort than I have experienced with my other dogs. So if you are a dedicated pit bull lover interested in adopting her please private message me.correction: she didn't FIGHT another dog. she tried to KILL another dog. and it has less to do with aggression than an uncontrollable urge to flex her DNA. expecting this mutant to behave politely around other dogs would be the equivalent to expecting freckled fair skinned people to not burn in the sun. and now frank mcmangina is trying to unload his purpose bred fighting dog on the internet to gullible idiots under the pretense of SHE JUST NEEDS MORE SOCIALIZATION!
FUCK!!!
she NEEDS to be on a logging chain connected to a truck axle driven several feet deep into the ground in the georgia woods!
and i'd really like to know what happened to his other pit bull?
but the really important question here, actually, the only question that really matters is WHY IS THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA COLLUDING WITH THIS PUNK IN SHUTTLING A DANGEROUS DOG INTO ANOTHER STATE WITHOUT A DANGEROUS DOG DESIGNATION? this is pinnacle of irresponsibility and criminal negligence. haven't we learned anything from the catholic church scandal?

it's not you, it's not me, it's that guy behind the tree
the spate of attacks in the seattle area prompted an interview on a local radio show with a seattle dog trainer and pit bull owner. this is an unusual break from the routine which typically lines up pit bull apologists for monday morning quarterbacking and damage control. STEVE DUNO had this to say
"The dogs that participated in these attacks weren't Pekingese. You don't have herds of Pekingese roaming the city attacking people. When someone says all breeds are created equal, well then they're denying the definition of what a breed is. Breed serves a particular purpose."
"I like them. They're eager. They're athletic. They're aesthetically pleasing. But even if they're bred perfectly, they can be problematic, particularly with other dogs."
"When you combine the breed specific behaviors ... with owners who either don't give a rip, or with owners who (have) too much dog, you have a problem."
you can read more expert opinions about purpose bred dogs HERE and HERE.
seattle, washington - it's not the breed OR the owner.
four dogs wriggled through a weak spot in the fence, two pit bulldogs, a "mixed breed" and a pomeranian. after entering and exiting a strange home, the "mixed breed" bit a man who was painting a house. firefighters/medics were called to the scene. the dogs swarmed the firetruck and became aggressive towards the first responders, preventing them from treating the victim. police and animal control were called. the police tried pepper spray, then a fire extinguisher but had to shoot one of them when they charged them.

KIM PACE providing an emotional, grandiose and fantastic statement to the police, while her room mates, the owners of the dogs, wring their hands in shock and hyperventilate. police need to carry paper bags for nutters to breathe into.
the reporter stated that KIM PACE identified herself as a "veterinarian" and said that she lives with the mutants which are certified "therapy dogs" who visit the elderly. PACE also stated that she has never had a problem with the dogs.
here is tattooed "veterinarian" KIM PACE describing how wonderful the dogs are and offering up yet ANOTHER excuse.
"I've lived with them, I've had many situations where these dogs could have done something to me and they rolled over and licked me. So, it's not the breed. It's the situation."
contrast the "veterinarian's" statement with reality.
1) the dog that was shot and killed, had a bite history.
2) the veterinarian's linkedin page states she is a vet tech.
3) one of my secret squirrels contacted a previous employer who confirmed PACE worked there as a vet assistant, ie a glorified title for a pooper scooper & dog walker.
later for the seattle times interview, PACE offered up the following:
1) the shooting was unnecessary because the police KNEW that she was on her way home.
2) it's the fault of the police and firefighters because they pulled into her driveway by mistake. had they gone to the neighbor, the dogs would not have felt compelled to protect their property. (considering the dogs ran into the home of another neighbor, i suspect these mutants would have protected anything in their sight)
3) the victim's injury consisted of "barely scratched".

white center, washington - the other dog was the instigator.
MICHAEL STEVEN VEIDT'S two dogs escaped his yard and joined up with another neighborhood thug and attacked a 66 yr old man. the victim was trying to fight off the attackers with a pocket knife when another neighbor came to his aid.
VEIDT states that his dogs, SAVAGE and MV are "loving" and "family oriented", and blames the mystery mutant for initiating the attack. VEIDT also claims his dogs are a bullmastiff and a boxer.
this doesn't look like any bullmastiff i've ever seen. in fact, it looks a lot like that ugly "mixed breed" pictured at the top.
i guess this must be the "boxer"?
VEIDT has a colorful past. in 2007, he and one of his home boys were scooped up in a prostitution sting. VEIDT and HUTTON were charged with first degree kidnapping. VEIDT also picked up a second degree rape charge, while HUTTON was charged with pimping women.
just for kicks, try entering VEIDT'S pimp buddy, Christopher Ilandes Hutton into the court database.
since the dogs escaped from a locked yard, the owners will not likely be charged because the police absolutely believe this story from a man with a tattoo of his area code on his neck, long criminal record and ties to the crips.

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
before i could launch my attack on MARKWELL, ANOTHER tip came in from ANOTHER concerned citizen of washington about ANOTHER rescue scandal in washington. as i began looking into ROSE ADAMS and her associates, as well as MARKWELL'S, i discovered there is some interesting overlap among the scandals. most of these rescue freaks are connected. the situation in washington was beginning to resemble a dog rescue / pit bull advocacy crime syndicate. but first MARKWELL...
MARKWELL earned his BA in "youth work" from a christian university and then acquired an on-line masters degree in "non-profit management" three years before launching OAS. despite the fact that he has no training in dog behavior, he began marketing himself as some kind of über dog whispering lion tamer magician on steroids and scooping up dogs, dangerous (and not dangerous) to live out their lives on his bucolic "sanctuary" on the washington peninsula while aggressively seeking donations in the hopes of one day expanding his rescue operation to include wolves and big cats. MARKWELL boasts on linkedin that he specializes in:
Rehabilitation of fighting dogs
Socialization of feral dogs
Addressing fear in captive animals
Animal transport
Habitat design and construction
Addressing fear in captive animals
Animal transport
Habitat design and construction
last april, Inside Bainbridge did a three part series on MARKWELL'S "sanctuary". since then others have come forward to complain about the horrendous conditions at the "sanctuary". dogs were photographed emaciated and severely neglected and in need of basic maintenance like nail trimming and serious veterinary care of open wounds. some dogs were found spinning in circles in their small filthy cages with disgusting bowls of water or living in crates, stacked on top of one another in a dark building with no heat. MARKWELL has also had his share of yard accidents. three dogs that were killed in just over a week from dog fights, their deaths were shrugged off. MARKWELL said that while not an ideal situation it is how dogs function in the wild. a slow painful death at the hands of humans or being savagely killed by other dogs is acceptable but a humane death at the hand of a human is an abomination. and obviously in his feeble mind, alive and spinning is preferable to no life at all. despite the outcry, local law enforcement has been unwilling to pursue charges or even force him to COMPLY WITH STATE LAW. it seems that the lion tamer is well connected. you can see all of the ugliness at the olympic oasis for yourself - HERE. MARKWELL'S facility looks more like a third world shanty town than an animal "sanctuary". and he brings in $150,000 a year in donations.
the most famous resident at OAS is SNAPS, a pit bull mix sentenced to death after he was ordered to attack the woman who tried to stop a group of juvenile delinquents from beating SNAPS. instead of a dirt nap, pit nutters managed to have him spirited away to OAS.
this is SNAPS the marketing tool right after he arrived at OAS.
i'm sure MARKWELL raked in boo coo bucks with this rags to riches story.
this is SNAPS today, after his sad story fell from the headlines and MARKWELL no longer had any use of him.
despicable.
i would like to know how this huge man, who works 80 hours a week, maintains his "beefy body" on NO INCOME? i can't even begin to wrap my brain around the amount of money needed to provide the necessary calories to maintain his weight while doing 80 hours of hard labor he claims to do each week. and what about clothing? personal items? medical care? if he is not drawing a salary, MARKWELL is treating the OAS checkbook as his own personal funds. unless he is living off of a trust fund, there is no other explanation.
concerned activists have launched a facebook campaign to have MARKWELL shut down as well as an online petition. usually i shun on-line petitions but i occasionally get involved, like this one.
here is an eye witness account of the "sanctuary" from Jason Victory:
Myself and 3 other Animal Advocates (all who have nothing to do with the creation of this page) who live in the Seattle WA area found the Olympic Animal Sanctuary through animal rights newsletters and other activist, we visited the facility inside and out a total of 12 times, from the very first day Steve Markwell was an odd character in our minds, we've all done work parties on numerous sanctuaries and something wasn't right from our very first visit! Steve wouldn't allow us entry to the building (ok fair enough), in fact unlike every sanctuary we've been too Steve never gave us a warm welcoming or a tour, instead he talked a lot about himself, how he carries a gun strapped on his ankle and even took the time to show us, he had one person bring dogs out individually, all the dogs we met were friendly or shy, when we finally gained access (legally) to the old windowless metal building we instantly knew this sanctuary was not good! we were hit in the face with a smell so enormous and foul it made 2 people in our group exit the building and vomit, here's what we documented: Dogs living in travel crates stacked 3-4 high, animals on the higher crates defecating and urinating on the animals below, animals to big for their crate, they couldn't turn around, rotting urine soaked hay, some hay soaked with bloody diarrhea/vomit, some animals in kennels had dead rodents in their bedding, dogs with broken teeth from trying to escape via chewing their way out (you can see in one of my photos where a large dog chewed a hole in the side of his crate), animals with open sores, worms living around the anus of one animal, some animals shivering from being cold in a building without heat, animals living in the cold in a metal horse trailer without water, food or bedding and sometimes in the dead of the heat during summer, many animals with water buckets had filthy greenish/black water, dogs living in crates under a staircase in total darkness and scared! animals in an upstairs room we we're never able to gain access too, rotting raw meat intended for dogs setting out without being properly stored, some of this raw meat had turned color and rancid smelling, dogs with bald patches, dogs covered in fleas, Dogs not getting socialized, animals not getting exercised, no plan for training or rehab, no schedule, no paid workers, no staff and on Steve's own admission to us, several dogs were killed due to fighting in less than a weeks time, some animals being kept in rooms sealed with a glass partitions, filth everywhere. Steve and his supporters have stated these conditions happened due to a volunteer not doing their job correctly, NOT TRUE! Steve actually lives in this building in a room on the lower level just across from the dogs in crates and kennels, Steve and the OAS board of directors are the only ones to blame! Some of his supporters keep insisting nothing can be wrong since the police did an investigation and found nothing wrong, well we all should know by now that animals wellbeing aren't always on the priority of the police, and we've got word that the police are now blocked to the premises by Steve's high paid attorney and the Police are admitting to possible overlooking the situation! We ask any reader to look into Steve's behavior, the facts, tax records, and the articles recently done by poor journalism, in these recent postings from either journalist who have never been to OAS or went with scheduled announced arrival, you'll see photo's of animals, and sure some of those photo's seem reasonable, but in those photo's you may see about 10 animals, lets see the other 120+ animals and lets see a article written by a reporter who hasn't arranged an arrival and visits OAS unannounced, lets see an article of the full access of OAS, we guarantee a completely different story! a story of abuse, neglect and horror! Steve and his supporters keep saying "Donate, Donate" and "Volunteer", people have donated 100's of thousands of dollars, people have tried to volunteer, Steve has a secret and if you can't keep that secret, you won't be allowed entry! and why donate to this new property that promises to be larger with more room for the dogs, if Steve failed these animals in his care for the past several years at this smaller location, what in the right mind of any smart common person makes you think he'll do any better with a larger piece of property (keep in mind this new proposed property has no buildings on it)?! if he couldn't provide basic care and safety to these animals on a smaller scale, and if he's struggling with money on this smaller project, what makes it better or different to make it a larger situation/problem, at the end of the day, the only one's paying the price is those animals, period! this is all happening in Forks WA in a windowless, non heated, non cooled, non ventilated, old Logging Truck maintenance building
let's take a look at some of MARKWELL'S own words.
"I didn't really understand animal welfare as a movement. It was a way to get free snakes." this is one clever opportunistic parasite. he now understands the animal welfare movement and he knows there is much more to be gained from the bleeding hearts than a few free snakes.
"In a town like this I've been able to get my reputation established and do a lot of things I'd have a hard time doing in a place like Seattle." yes, things like fly under the radar. it's no accident that MARKWELL landed in forks, a remote rural area surrounded by indian reservations and armed hermits fanatical about everyone minding their own business. animal rights and welfare types are scarce and law enforcement tends to be run by redneck good old boys that drink beer and hunt together on the weekends.
compare these two comments both made in december 2009
He scoffs at "dog whisperers" and rejects potential volunteers who say they have a "spiritual kinship" with animals. "I have absolutely no place for people like that because they're dangerous," he said. "What it takes is common sense and experience. That whole 'animals like me' -- well, animals like me too. But I take a really bad bite about once a month. Let's not rely on that as our safety mechanism." 12.11.09
and
"I use my magical affinity for animals and my mystical connection to them to reach into their souls and become one with their spirits." 12.24.09
"We have 57, and that’s about as many as we’re going to take. Even at the next property we move to, I don’t want to take many more." 12.24.09
MARKWELL currently has somewhere between 120-150 dogs. and he is still on the SAME half acre property.
"Marketing to a younger demographic is something few charities try to do, but it’s a big part of our marketing philosophy." 12.24.09
with his educational background in "youth work", religion and non-profits, MARKWELL is perfectly suited to target the young gullible idiots with no real world experience and of course the pit bull demographic. that's where the real money is.
despite the obvious contradictions, slippery MARKWELL has many bamboozled. he is well connected and has loyal supporters. they claim a single disgruntled individual is on a hate campaign.
DIANE HAWKINS, treasurer and mommy. she apparently owns the property that OAS currently occupies and draws monthly rent income, well until he can find a larger property where he can torture even more dogs.
MATTHEW RANDAZZO, vice chair of MARKWELL'S little house of horrors. RANDAZZO is also the special assistant to the state commissioner of public lands and has been involved with local democratic orgs. he is in a position to curry favor with local government. last december, RANDAZZO and his wife MELISSA were named as defendants in what appears to be action taken against them for unpaid debt. RANDAZZO claims to be a successful author of crime dramas and his wife MELISSA polishes turds for a living.
and now things get interesting...
BRANDIA TAAMU dedicated a facebook page to defending MARKWELL. TAAMU chides his critics who have not seen OAS first hand, and while she admits that she hasn't actually visited the "sanctuary", she is convinced that MARKWELL is being unfairly persecuted. she states that the photos are real but the filth, emaciation and spinning behavior occurred under the watch of volunteers while STEVE was out of town. some of the photos of the "sanctuary" are dated june, july, september and october 2012. i guess STEVE travels a lot. and when he does, he takes the dog food with him?
it comes as no surprise to me that BRANDIA TAAMU would defend MARKWELL for neglecting his animals. the state has taken TAAMU'S children and animals from her due to neglect. i don't think i have seen anything quite like TAAMU. she is definitely one of the screwier no kill kooks that i have come across. she has more websites than KRIS CRAWFORD and TAAMU definitely gives off con artist vibes. TAAMU has uploaded her protracted legal battle with the city of everett for animal cruelty onto facebook. it's ALL there. nothing has been redacted, not her address, not even her social security number.
let's take a look at some of TAAMU'S own words.
I know this is going to blow a few minds but I have NEVER liked the "Sanctuary" premise one bit. May 30, 2013
My hope is to be able to create an animal & people sanctuary in the future. that contradictory statement is from the most bizarre linkedin page i've seen to date. this animal rescuer/minister claims to have 30 years experience in "conflict resolution, mulit-tasking and event planning AND she has autism, "so don't ask for her opinion unless you truly want it". TAAMU is the very definition of CONFLICT.
while TAAMU fights for MARKWELL'S right to neglect 100+ dogs, she is also railing against another rescue abuse case. enter lice infested ROSE ADAMS, the second rescue scandal to hit my gmail box in may. TAAUMU has been instrumental in bringing down this white trash nutter welfare queen. why? cuz ROSE ADAMS reported TAAMU for neglecting her dogs and cats! tit for tat. TAAMU was staying with ROSE and keeping her 2 cats and 3 dogs (i think) IN HER CAR. hell, i'm not sure how many animals were living in her car. i got dizzy trying to ride her crazy train.
instead of giving BRANDIA TAAMU what she really needs, intensive psychiatric treatment, the state of washington gave her non-profit status. brilliant!
ROSE ADAMS is a train wreck in her own right. according to BRANDIA TAAMU who apparently has written ROSE'S unauthorized biography, ADAMS has an extensive criminal history including theft, forgery, assault, child abuse, animal cruelty.
ROSE ADAMS was critical of another animal abuse case I blogged about, SERENA and JASON LARSEN. ADAMS didn't think these two fucktards suffered enough at the hands of the courts for keeping dogs in crates. you really can't make this shit up!
ANNA LUDWIG thinks "STEVE is just a nice man in need of some help". she is trying to rally the troops for food donations. i think ANNA LUDWIG is just another miscreant. the washington courts database reveals LUDWIG as another frequent flyer of the washington court system.
CHRISTINE JAMES (CJ's dog rescue in snohomish) stopped by to show her support for MARKWELL'S right to neglect 100+ dogs.
CHRISTINE JAMES is connected to another corrupt rescue organization that i have blogged about, DRAW - dog rescue around washington. you might recall, DRAW likes to play "hide the pit bull'. DRAW is run by CARINA COLLARD aka VIOLET.
here is CARINA COLLARD aka VIOLET, distancing herself from another washington criminal rescuer that i blogged about, big time embezzler CARINA BORJA.
RENDA LUVAAS added her voice and extended a hand to the man who defends pit bulldogs.
I don't give a crap if the photos are real or not at this point! When this first broke last weekend I was just like most people and all spun with emotion and the urge to "do something" because I am so close to OAS , then when my feathers unruffled I began thinking how much this person has done. How much of his life he has worked to achieve what he has.The blood sweat and tears that has been into this sanctuary. For years he has been running a sanctuary under less than ideal conditions and ran it very well. He has been on a one man mission, literally for the underdog of dogs.
what a convoluted mess. how the hell do all of these miscreants know each other? did they bump into each other in the waiting room of their probation officer?
THICK AS THIEVES
when i look at all of these rescue angels' court profiles, the first thing that comes to mind: PARASITES. these people are nothing but social parasites. they fed off of the system before finding their sweet spot in animal rescue then the host shifted from the tax payer to gullible donators and helpless animals. this is despicable. animal rescue needs to be heavily regulated by the state to ensure that animals do not suffer at the hands of people of poor character who are either looking for an "easy" living or are trying to work out their issues.
the second thing to come to mind, ALL of those other annoying washington nutters, rescuers, breeders, advocates! i went a little crazy with that court site. enjoy.

plug in the name of YOUR favorite washington state nutter and see what they have been up to, AND...
