courtnek Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 Here you go Rott - hope it helps - and I hope he does bother to look up what "Alpha" means....I doubt it tho.... Well, Travis, you're last name belies you. Have you ever owned a dog, "mean" or otherwise? We have a Golden Retriever here who bit off half of a childs face, but they are known to be "good with children", "very tolerant", etc.... There is no justice in what you are trying to do. Dogs who are not raised, bred and trained properly - ANY DOG - can become dangerous. The only reason that the Pit's GSD's and Rotties get the brunt is because they are large, powerful animals, and their bites inflict more damage. Also, bad breeding is a real reason for a dangerous dog, and has been for decades. The unscrupulous breeders get wind of the popularity of the dog, and throw all the proper breeding protocols out the window to make a fast buck. Do you really believe there is no greed in the world? Also, in regards to the cases you mentioned..... WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD LEAVE A DOG, ANY DOG, ALL ALONE WITH A SMALL CHILD????? Breeders, trainers, behaviorists will all tell you the same thing. NEVER leave a small child alone with a dog. Their screechy little voices, and the fact that they wail when they cry and wave their arms, will often frighten a dog. Also, if the owners are not the alpha presence around the dog (look it up if you dont know what it means) and they leave the room, when the child cries the dog will feel it's within it's right to stop the child. In a pack, a cub causing trouble will be punished by its parent wolves. However, human children will not back down the way a wolf cub will. They dont understand, and will continue to fight and cry. This is a dominance issue that cubs understand instinctively - babies do not. A dog properly socialized and raised as a non-alpha in the household, would never even consider disciplining someone else's cub. A dog who thinks it is alpha will. People need to realize that dogs are ANIMALS - NOT people. They dont respond to the same rules, they live by the instincts that God and nature gave them. I believe that people who want to buy/adopt/raise dogs, should be tested about their knowledge, and if lacking, should be required to have those dogs (and themselves) trained by a professional. There are millions of Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Dobermans and Chows in the US....why is it that every badly trained dog that attacks someone makes the whole breed bad? I have a Lab. She doesnt like small children, she doesnt like strangers and she cannot be allowed off lead in a dog park. But wait, Labs are great, right? They never hurt anyone....they like everybody, right? NOT..... The owner is responsible for recognizing the idiosyncracies of the dog, and being responsible enough to handle and control them. Period!!!! Your ban on the dogs you believe are "vicious" will no more stop the bad owners/breeders from creating bad dogs then prohibition stopped alcohol. Katy Courtney Chicago, Illinois Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 THAT IS COMPLETE BS!!!!!!!!!! I tried to email but it didnt work. That makes me SOOO MAD!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :agrue: :evil: Pomeranians have mauled kids and hes not trying to ban them is he? :evil: :evil: :x i was bitten by a Shitzu but my neighbor's German Sheperd never hurt a fly :evil: :x :agrue: Quote
Shannon_C Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 THIS WAS MINE: Sent to this prick! People like you are those who cause an uproar when it comes to talk about certain breeds of dogs.....obviously you don't own any of those breeds mentioned or any other type of large breed...otherwise you would not be saying what your saying now. Any dog can be a killer if not bought up properly, socialised, trained etc..whether large or small, they can all do damage, thats why it is the owners responsibility to make sure that doesn't happen. Bairing in mind many dogs that have attacked are either fighting dogs or from a backyard breeder, those are the bastards that should be banned not the dogs. There are many well known experienced breeders out there who only want the best for there dogs, those are the ones who care so much about there health and needs etc not the gaining. There are many with children who have been bought up with there dogs and never had a problem because they do the responsible thing like keeping an eye on them both at all times, they are never left alone together..which is one of the problems with irresponsible people today, it doesn't matter how well the dog as known the child..they should never ever be left alone. Before you start putting the breeds down, think of all the irresponsible owners around the world who don't know the first thing about bringing a dog up, for instance those who lock there dogs up in cages be teased and those who get abused because of ignorence and stupidity. Read all the sad stories over the net of what sick, evil people do to our dogs, I bet you will find more than dog attacks. Quote

Malamum Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Hey, I got a response!!! Here is what I received: Melissa: You win! This email is the first from another continent. Thank you. Though I have a feeling this guy doesn't really care about the issue. He just picked a controversial subject in order to gain attention/publicity - means more viewers right :-? Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 What a horrible, horrible man!! I would just LOVE to go over there and KILL him! :x I'll wait till I calm down... Malamum, his response is just SO stupid! :lol: Everyone's e-mail's where great! :wink: Keep 'em coming! Quote
GoldenLuv Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 I got a reply back... I've Educated myself on the breeds. I think there is more "bad" then "good"...that is my opinion and I respect yours. Travis Justice Someone please make him shutup :o !! I agree he looks like a totall Jerk!! Well I replyed back asking him some questions...I was much more calm this time. :wink: I was really mad when he started bashing the lovable pit bull but now he has moved on to many more breeds I am really fond of!! Now I am really realllllllllly MAD. It will be interesting if I get another email from him. I replied to the first article a while back but did not get a reply so I guess maybe he felt he should try and explain his logic...what logic!! :) :agrue: Rio'sMum Mei-Mie- I guess it does not take much to become a loud mouth journalist as he is...what horrible spelling!!

imported_nea Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 What an IDIOT!!! :evil: I sent him an email, although it wasn't very good. Malamum, Mei-Mei, Shannon_C, and courtnek, those are all great! Wish I could learn to write like that... Maybe someday! :) Quote
Shannon_C Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Nea. You have done your bit and Im sure it was excellent advice to that p**** Quote
courtnek Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Interesting - I did NOT receive a reply - maybe my letter upset him? or pointed out the fallacies in his statements? Although all the letters I saw posted did the same thing.... hmmmm..... :) Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 He did a response last night and he also played a few phone messages that he had recieved. Some people agreed with him, most of course didnt, and a few even had to be censored due to choice words of his mentality. :P He had a woman from rottie rescue do the commentary and she was basically making our points. A lot of people agreed with what she had to say and he even said that she made god points. BUt he basicaly ignored the majority of what she said and reiterated his own points. his skull is so full of crap that the knowledge gets pushed out... doofus Quote
GoldenLuv Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Hey ROTT'N'PIT please keep us informed if there are any more articles and stuff online...it sounds like there are many more to come. Maybe those of you who did not get a reply made such a good point that the jerk knew there was no chance he could say anything to match that :lol: !! Rio'sMum Quote
