On Pit Bull Awareness Day, Pit Bull Advocates Should Wear Black



Pay no attention to America's increasing DBRF and hospitalization rates! Donate to Pit Bull Rescue today!

In October 2013, Organized Pit Bull Idiocy Groups (OPIGs) will gather around the country to celebrate Pit Bull Awareness Day..... The sordid state of Pit Bull affairs in the United States is that Dogfighting still festers, Animal Control Departments are swamped with excess Pit Bulls, and the list of Pit Bull mauling/DBRF victims is growing like a bean stalk. Despite all this, we have Pit Bull Rescuers thriving in the chaos and living in $500K houses on tax free donation money while mauling victims are holding bake sales and blood drives to pay for medical costs.

Since Pit Bull Awareness Day 2012, another 21 Americans have been killed, bringing the total to 131 since the first Pit Bull Awareness day in April 2007. Additionally, since PB Awareness Mauliday #1, about 7 Million excess Pit Bulls have been euthanized at taxpayer expense, with the dog fighters slaughtering another 1.25 Million.  It is tough to understand how this is worthy of celebration.  

Americans Killed By Pit Bulls since Pit Bull Awareness Day #1 (Victims killed since PB Awareness day 2012 are in blood red)

Be appropriate and show respect. Wear black during Pit Bull Awareness Temper Tantrum marches 

*Note:  Additionally, nearly 220 Americans have been poured into Life Flight Helicopters since PBAD number 1. They may be seen Here

 The Prestigious Carnegie Life Saving Medal

The Carnegie Foundation has awarded Lifesaving Medals to 151 individuals involved in savings lives during animal attacks since 1904. Of the 151 animal attacks, 49 have involved Canines. Excluding rabid dog attacks from the earlier part of the last century, Pit Bulls are responsible for 30 of the 39 attacks producing the award. Rotts are responsible for 5 , GSDs 2, Dobermans 2, with mixed breed packs producing the remainder.  These stats mirror the DBRF rate in the United States exactly.... This is not coincidence.

Carnegie Life Saving Awards presented to those who have saved a life during a Pit Bull attack since PB Awareness Day number 1:

2013:  Mr John Hale helped rescue 45 year old Jeffrey Lennox who was pulled to the ground by loose pit bulls during his morning walked. Mr.  Hale launched out into the darkness, saved Lennox and allowed him to escape, then sustained a mauling himself. John Hale becomes the 30th North American Pit Carnegie "Winner". Mr. Hale will use the $5000 Carnegie grant to help pay his medical bills.

 

 

2012 Sean C. M. Vorel helped to rescue Marcella M. Gilbert from an attacking dog, Bennington, Nebraska, June 2, 2011. Gilbert, 78, was in a fenced-in yard of the kennel she operated when a 70-pound pit bull terrier she was keeping attacked her. The dog took her to the ground and mauled her, inflicting severe injury. Driving by, Vorel, 27, construction worker, saw the attack. He stopped at the scene and, finding the gate to the yard locked, climbed inside. Having obtained a 2.5-foot-long board, Vorel approached the dog and struck it repeatedly about the head. Its attention distracted from Gilbert, the dog attempted to attack Vorel as he climbed a fencing partition. A sheriff’s deputy arrived about then and used an electroshock weapon against the dog, stunning it. The dog was secured, allowing emergency medical personnel to attend to Gilbert. She was taken to the hospital, where she was detained more than four months for treatment

2011: Gerald A. LaMonica (Dearborn Heights), Michigan rescued Madison P. Boljesic from an attacking dog, on September 25, 2010. Madison, 10, was on the sidewalk in a residential neighborhood when a 45-pound, adult male pit bull dog charged her without provocation. It took her to the ground and bit her repeatedly. Across the street, LaMonica, 75, retired merchandiser, was approaching the scene on foot when the attack took place. He immediately ran across the street toward Madison and the dog, yelling at the dog to distract it. When he had nearly reached them, the dog turned to LaMonica and charged him. LaMonica landed a hard kick against the dog’s chest, but it recovered and charged him again, biting him forcefully on the right calf. When Madison’s brother then arrived and threatened the dog, it released LaMonica and left the scene. Both Madison and LaMonica were treated at the hospital, their bite wounds requiring sutures

2011: Joseph D. Hayes, 51-years old (Sayreville, New Jersey) - Presented with a Carnegie Medal after rescuing Cheryl Napolitano from an attacking pit bull August 31, 2007. Hayes heard the woman screaming and burst out of his home, covering 150 feet to the scene, and grabbed the dog by its hind legs and pulled it off Napolitano. When the pit bull resumed its attack, Hayes entered into hands on combat with the animal.

2010: Keith Sampson, 13-years old (Flint, Michigan) - Presented with a Carnegie Medal after saving 3-year old Brooklyn Gibson from an attacking pit bull October 18, 2009. Brooklyn was in the backyard of her home when the pit bull entered the yard, clamped its jaws on her head began shaking her. Keith pulled the dog away and struggled to restrain it in a chokehold while his half brother took Brooklyn inside the house.

2010: Kristine Kelly Keaton, 37-years old (Flint, Michigan) - Presented with a Carnegie Medal after intervening in the above incident involving Keith Sampson and Brooklyn Gibson. Upon hearing the children screaming, Keaton rushed into the yard and came to the aid of the half brother who was helping another child to safety. The pit bull escaped Keith's chokehold and latched onto Keaton's arm causing severe injuries.

2010: Duane VanLanHam, 48-years old (Saginaw, Michigan) - Presented with a Carnegie Medal after rescuing Bridgetta Hadley from three frenzied pit bulls March 5, 2009. Hadley screamed for help as the pit bulls took her to the ground. Duane ran to her aid, placing himself between Hadley and her attackers, enabling her to get into a nearby car. The dogs then turned on Duane nearly chewing both of his legs off. (Related post)

2009: A. J. Skiptunas III, 49-years old (Wrightsville, Pennsylvania) - Presented with a Carnegie Medal after saving Mary Caldwell, 63, from an attacking pit bull-mix. Caldwell was campaigning in the neighborhood when the dog bit into her leg and pulled her to the pavement. Skiptunas ran to her aid and suffered a hard bite to his right hand. Using his left hand, he pulled the dog off then pinned it to the ground with his knee!

Note: State and Local Organizations have awarded too many individuals to list...An astounding collection of recognized heroes many be seen Here

Since the public safety debate is lost, be sure to scream "Canine Racism" at your Pit Bull Panther Party!

Check back next year for updates. Hopefully, the Pit Bull Community will start regulating themselves and start breeding a safer Pit Bull in responsible numbers....

Happy Mauliday Nutters!
