Wadena County Humane Society Lies and Blames Victim After Their Pit Bull Attacks

Fellow bloggers please re post and cross post:

While attending a Pet Expo at the County fairgrounds a 7 year old border collie service dog named Cheyanne was attacked by an adoptable pit bull named Lola owned by the Wadena County Humane Society. Someone had to use a stick to pry Lola's jaws off Cheyanne.


Blamed Victim and supposed pit bull harrasser Cheyanne before the accident

Cheyanne was rushed to the veterinary clinic with puncture wounds and possible nerve damage.

The Humane Society blamed Cheyanne for the attack claiming that Cheyanne "harrassed" their pit bull despite eyewitnesses who say that Cheyanne was sitting calmly when the pit bull attacked.

While the police believe the dog will be put down after 10 days, the Humane Society says they were not told to do so and still have Lola up for adoption - with no warning about "NO DOGS" on her post.

Cheyanne's owner, who says her dog alerts her to seizures, wants compensation for medical costs and possible replacement cost for a service dog and will bring her case before the county board meeting on Wednesday.

UPDATE: Fifteen days after the biting incident, the adoption notice had been taken down.

By now everyone has heard about the gruesome mauling of Roy McSweeney in Hawthorne, FL. If you haven't, click here and here. This nightmare has sparked interest in Florida animal control laws among my people.

A link to a 2006 article from The Gainesville Sun landed in my email inbox. After a series of horrific dog attacks, the Alachua county commissioners decided it was time to ban dangerous dogs. Twelve citizens spoke at the public meeting, only two were opposed to the non-breed specific banning of dangerous dogs. And only one of those people was named in the article - TONI DIANE FAIR.

Two of the 12 speakers from the audience expressed concerns over the ordinance. Toni Fair, owner of a dangerous dog named Elvis, said that with the assistance of Animal Services she has learned how to properly confine the dog and that no further trouble has occurred.

I am always curious about the people who fight against common sense laws, so I consulted The Google. Not only did I find a 2003 DUI conviction, I found that in April 2011 TONI FAIR was cited for FAILURE TO COMPLY W/ DANGEROUS DOG REQUIREMENTS. Well, so much for her one on one training on proper confinement. On June 9, 2011, the day before Roy McSweeney's horrific mauling, TONI DIANE FAIR pled non-guilty. She was fined $71. FAIR paid $50 and the remaining balance of $21.00 was dismissed.

jesse james: nutter nazi outlaw

austin, texas

strike number 4 for this nazi wannabe. first one of his mutants (CISCO) killed another one of his mutants (RUDY). then his shop pit bull CINNABON went missing, TWICE. now one of JAMES' mutants attacked a corgi.

be sure to cast your vote for a dirt nap in this link.

find the pit bull part two

all this talk about vick dogs and dna tests has inspired another round of find the bull.

for nothing can seem so foul to those that win

last friday the pit nutters' proof of assertion army hit the internet with the simultaneous release of at least 3 nanny dog articles. the pit nutters are determined to win the war at any cost. i would rather lose with my integrity intact. but that's just me.

it is astonishing what is passing as journalism these days. no one practices in depth, independent research anymore. they don't even pretend. and the desperate, gullible pit nutters are treating this round robin of middle aged women as if they are delivering the word of god.

the gather.com crusader KATE JAMES linked to bay area propagandist CLAUDINE ZAP'S puff piece and ZAP linked to a pitnutter forum and to the vagina indifferent comedian and to TRACYANN MAINS' puff piece that begins with "I've never met a pit bull that I didn't like. I've met four." and TRACYANN'S source materials for her soft hitting, shallow, piece of crap? BADRAP of course!

yahoo (yäˈhoō noun informal a rude, noisy, or violent person.) has over 300 comments most of which parrot the writer, pointing to photos of pits with kids as proof they were in fact nanny dogs.

something tells me JANE BERKEY is behind this.

since friday, the Nanny Dog Myth Revealed has been viewed over 2000 times. much of the credit goes to Jake for creating the surge in traffic at the truth about pit bulls blog. JAKE ventured into enemy territory and planted the one lone kernel of truth in the great expanse of disinformation.

update: Officer Marcia Kratzenberg

last october, a duquesne, pennsylvania police officer was out with her dogs when she crossed paths with a family and their dogs. a "scuffle" broke out, yadda yadda yadda ms. pit nutter fled. well, that's according to the biased media. a week ago, a friend of kratzenberg showed up to set the record straight.

VIRGINIA DUNN wrote:

Regarding your post "Bad Cop / No Donut", here's what the media left out. Officer Kratzenberg was off duty and was exercising her dogs. They were all on lead. The other people's dogs were OFF LEAD!!! They ran up and started the incident. Officer Kratzenberg was pulled to the ground, had torn ligaments and her shoulder displaced in the incident. She did not 'flee the scene' but rather took her dogs and herself to safety as she was very injured. Finally, her dogs are not pit bulls. This is a case of the victim being persecuted. Very sad indeed, especially when one knows the truth about this outstanding officer who always lends a hand, especially to homeless or hungry dogs. Good cop. We'll make you a donut!

my response:

i assumed that she must have been off duty as the victims did not report the "fleeing" owner of the dogs to be a uniformed police officer.

how many dogs was she exercising? how many dogs does she own? did she report the incident? how was she able to control THREE powerful dogs with a "displaced" shoulder and torn ligaments?

do you know what the outcome of the NINE citations?

well, after days of NO response (what a surprise), i decided to do a little research. while i didn't find any updates regarding the NINE charges against the duqusenecop, i did find other interesting info, like the fact that she was a student at DR SCOT E DOWD'S Pit Bull University.

i am guessing that MARCIA did not graduate.

a year and half later, she joined the cane corso forum to research the breed in hopes of getting one and making it her K9 partner. a year later MARCIA acquired her first cane corso, from none other than.... BELLA ROSA CANE CORSOS a.k.a VIRGINIA DUNN. another year later, i found her introducing herself and her dogs (cane corsos, ambulls, pit bull and amstaff) on pitbull-chat.

according to her facebook page, she is a fan of pit nutter DAN MEAGHER'S show, pit bull positive.

here is MARCIA and some of her dogs, ambull, pit bull, staffy bull. you can see her with cane corsos on her myspace page (bred by none other than virginia dunn!).

you can see more of MARCIA and her dogs and her tattoos here.

i decided that i should look into VIRGINIA DUNN, a breeder of cane corsos in portland oregon.

i found this interesting interview with a cane corso breeder on dogguide.net.

the first question, "How long have you been working with the breed?"

DUNN'S answer, "Well, I rescued dogs for years, my boys and I. Mostly Pit Bulls. We truly love Pit Bulls! But knowing that only 1 in every 600 Pits that need homes will ever get one, and looking at the reality of the Pit situation really started getting me down. Don’t get me wrong. I will ALWAYS help the pits. But sometimes it just gets so overwhelming. I guess I just needed a break from rescue. That’s when the Cane Corso came into my life. It’s been a blessing to me."

i would never trust a breeder who answers questions about their breed with ramblings about another breed!

on VIRGINIA DUNN'S breeder website Bella Rosa, she devotes a section to CORSO COPS, with none other than MARCIA KRAZTENBERG posing in uniform with an adult and a cane corso puppy. "This beautiful girl is a K-9 in Pennsylvania. Hannah loves being on patrol, doing drug searches, helping frightened children fee safe." i can not imagine that a police department would have this K-9 on their staff that did not go through the proper police dog training. in fact, i am officially calling shenanigans on these two nutters. i googled 'cane corso police dogs' and i found some interesting links and they don't exactly help the nutters.

first up, K-9 Selene. "She's just the third of her breed to serve as a police dog outside of Italy. One is currently working in Beechdown, Ohio; the other, in Hoopeston, Ill." there's some other interesting b.s. in the link, i'll let you find it while i stay on task. although i'd really like to know why the police chief INSISTED that Selene be spayed and that resulted in the termination of her K-9 handler. i am under the impression that ALL K-9s are intact.

second up, K-9 Guido, the first corso cop in the U.S. check out these first three photos as the decoy shows how Guido has bruised his arm through the bite sleeve.

third, one more site that mentions there are only 3 cane corso police dogs outside of italy.

okay, where is all of this going....

the use of cane corsos in police work is extremely rare and NONE OF THESE 3 DOGS ARE IN PENNSYLVANIA!

taking a dog's photo in or near a police cruiser does not make it a police dog, unless of course you are a pit nutter and photos are absolute PROOF of police dogs, nanny dogs and the man in the moon.

VIRGINIA, I FOUND THE PIT BULL!

liars, the whole lot of them.

William Faversham

February 12, 1868 - April 7, 1940

Legendary british film and stage actor William Faversham had a passion for fighting dogs and when he came to America, he brought them with him. Faversham was a significant player among bull terrier breeders. He was a breeder and judge of bull terrier show dogs.

During his early years in the America, Faversham was at times homeless and spent his sundays pitting his bull terrier against laborers' dogs in Harlem. Faversham's pit dog was a champion.

On August 3, 1891, two of Faversham's 30+ bull terriers SOMEHOW managed to escape their kennels and go on a mauling spree. The bull terriers attacked 2 women and 3 kids and when William Truss came to their aid, they mauled him. Faversham responded and called the dogs off. Truss' flesh was tore from both arms and the back of his legs.

Mayor Thomas H Leonard ordered the man biters removed from the town within 24 hours, not culled.

In September 1897 when he was starring in a Chicago play, he found being apart from one of his dogs unbearable so he wired his friends in New York and asked them to ship one of his dogs. It died en route and Faversham wept and stated he was heart broken.

Faversham died in poverty at the age of 72 in a New York rooming house.
