  1. some nutter wondered why no one is calling for a ban on labs ?

    well , it might have been pitbull , since nobody can identify them .

    certainly might have had some other blood than lab. or it coulda been deranged or sick (rabies).

    when labs start killing in pit-like numbers i will call for a ban on them too.

  2. The US has been overdue for another Rottenmauler fatality…

    Texas has now sustained 36 DBRFs since 2005.

    26 by Pit Bulls

    6 by Rottweiler

    The rest of doggiedom?…not so much.

    On another note; pits and Rotts have now killed over 400 Americans since 1976.

    Nice work Dog Lobby!

  3. The media is so sad — this woman owned her own dog grooming business. How could they miss that?

  4. They should have shown a close-up picture of the dog after it was shot. It just looks like a black blur in the video.

  5. sorry to confuse but I was aware in your blog it said Rottweiler-mastiff mix but a commenter on my page was asking why it said Rottweiler-mastiff then in your 2013 fatality report it was only mentioned as a Rottweiler. so thanks for letting me know so I can clear that up with him.
