  1. Why, why, why is the national media completely SILENT about all these pit DBRFs??? I can't believe the pit nutters have infiltrated every single wing of the media.

    A drunk strangled a few weeks ago when he fell and his clothes got caught in the escalator he was one. That got front page media coverage. That's bad, but death by pit bull is many times worse, affect completely sober, nice adults and babies, and is happening every 8 days this year!

    (I'm counting the guy who was hit by a car while escaping a mauling by two pit bulls as victim #14 this year).

  2. California + pit bulls + pot operations = human (or animal) deaths has a 30-year running track record in the state. We didn't ever learn what happened to the other California "grow" operation that was busted after the 2012 dog mauling death of Remedios Solares? Just another innocent woman mowed down by a pack of pit bull type dogs protecting (and / or enhancing) a marijuana "grow" operation.

  3. Well for those who cry "media bias" I can say that on our Local Fox News affiliate it seems like they have a supporter as one of their reporters. Thats the media bias I see.

    Last night on the Los Angeles news broadcast on Channel 11 (Fox News) the attack was the lead news. It was the only news broadcast where pit bulls was not prominently mentioned. It starts with the anchor Carlos Amezcua saying a woman was killed by a "pack of dogs", but its reporter Christina Gonzalez who seems to be a full on pit bull apologist. She was quick to point out it was "pit bull mixes, shepherd mixes, bulldog mixes" but some other dogs and mixes.

    In another clip from earlier in the afternoon Christina Gonzalez says "people say they are pit bulls but I am going to wait until I see them".

    Here are the clips-

    California has taken a strong lead in pit bull fatalities but not one official says enough is enough.

  4. Animal UnControl.

    Just now on the KTLA 5 morning news they just reported that AC had been called about theses dogs being aggressive. The dogs have gotten out before and just THREE DAYS AGO attacked a man with two kids on a HORSE and apparently that is on video.

    This is nothing new. For years my friend was terrorized out in Palmdale,CA with a pit bull breeding operation two doors down. The dogs killed numerous neighborhood pets, chased her into her car one day when she was getting the mail. She took videos of things going on gave it to AC and nothing happened.

    With this new revelation about complaints about this pack of dogs previously I wonder if the victims family will try to hold the powers that be accountable.

  5. ISTR that Pierce County, Washington was sued to the tune of one million dollars over the negligence of its animal control agency. Search this site for details on the Sue Gorman case.

  6. It would be great if Mike Antonovich did something meaningful. Hes a career politician.

    It does seem he "gets" pit bulls.

    How do we encourage him?

    As for the victims husband, wow. I do not know how wearing an Ipod would have anything to do with being able to fend off a pit bull or a pack of pit bulls.
    How can he even say that with the magnitude of the damage done to her.

  7. GREAT PIT BULL QUOTES IN HISTORY:
    Jan 1990:

    Just three months after signing sinister HB 428 which proscribed BSL as a tool for CA communites:

    "I am disturbed and distressed as anybody…We have to have some kind of law against owning them or some other way of completely controlling them"

    CA Governor George Deukijemian, 36 CA pit bull DBRFs ago!

    *Disclaimer..You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

  8. Has the correct fatality report been send to Antonovich's office?

    Is it worth having it sent a few times?

  9. I absolutely despise "Blame the Deed!"
    The deed ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS requires a victim!
    This poor woman was murdered in the most heinous way possible and the Nutters are fine with this "deed" – after all, it doesn't affect them. They are psychopaths. It really takes a sick mind to go comment about how sweet pibbles are in a story about a mauling death. One commenter even thanked the husband for not blaming the breed – because that's what really matters, right?!
    The only thing I haven't seen yet is someone asking what she did to provoke the dogs to rip her arm off and kill her – but you can bet these douchebags are thinking it.

  10. Babypit I had a feeling you would be on top of that.

    Thank you so much for all you do.

  11. I suspect the county supervisor's office was fed a line of Pit Bull-shixt by the nutters in the A/C department….

    The same whitewash was tried last year by Dekalb County,GA-Animal Control when that rescue girl was killed. They claimed "Zero Deaths" but the county had sustained Five…All by Pit Bulls!

    The radicalization of America's Animal Control profession is becoming a massive public safety threat. One american has been killed by a pit bull every 11 days so far in 2013!

  12. I agree with you, YQN, That's how my problems began with these dogs and I had no idea what what was ahead of us. And the average person/neighbor living in houses all around you does not understand that this is going on in their Animal Control Organizations. I also have another issue that has been bugging me ….In a letter sent to us by our Animal Control Director, we were told that dog breeders in the neighborhood were just like a neighbor having a "YARD SALE" maybe twice a year. This is how our Animal Control/City Officials ?? look at the on-going breeding of pit bulls while the kennels are full of them at AC – like it is an innocent little Saturday yard sale where the highest priced inanimate item might be children's furniture or clothing for $10. I have been angry for 3 years after receiving this letter.

  13. Speaking of the radicalization of animal control agencies, I think it's time for us to start making a little list. What would be on this list? Agencies that have been infiltrated by nutters.

    Why is there a need for such a list? Because we need to warn the taxpayers of these jurisdictions. They need to know that their safety does NOT come first.

  14. A GUILTY verdict is recommended for the owner of the dogs.

  15. Just on the news. The sentence was 15 years for the owner of these dogs.

    Paltry.
