Pit Bull Lie Buster #1, California Screamin', Governor's Regret

Just three months after California's Anti-BSL provision was enacted, the Governor begged the Legislature to reverse the mistake!


Occupy Maul Street

BSL Never Works!
In 1988, in response to California's escalating pit bull maulings, State Senator Art Torres Introduced House Bill (HB) 428. Originally, HB 428 was a well intentioned piece of legislation meant to tighten up regulation of vicious dogs.  After a year of lobbying with the worthless breed neutral  safety assurances being swallowed by the legislature and numerous concessions given to the dog lobby, the Bill that emerged and went to the Governor in 1989 looked like a pit bull owner's bill of rights.  Gerrymandered within the legislation was the sinister anti-BSL provision which prevented local communities from protecting their citizens by regulating pit bulls.

 
Duped California Governor George Deukijemian:
"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"

One little known fact which is always ignored by the "BSL Never Works" proclaimers... In January 1990, just 3 months after the Dog Lobby duped the California Legislature into passing HB 428, a 70 year old Grandmother was killed by Pit Bulls.  Horrified California Governor George Deukijemian begged the California legislature to undo the mistake and draft him a bill that would regulate pit bulls.  

The mistake made here and repeated all over the country, was assuming that the pit bull community would regulate themselves by producing safe dogs in responsible numbers. While most breed communities do a fine job of regulating themselves, dog fighting, the guard dog trade and the radical behavior of pit bull rescues make such rationale folly and extremely dangerous. The result is that the tax free Pit Bull economy of dog fighters, breeders and Pit Bull  Rescue flourishes while mauling victims typically get the short end of the break stick....

 
Since the Governor's request that went unanswered in 1990, 36 Californians have been mauled to death by Pit Bulls, with hundreds of State residents being horrifically mauled. Additionally, Animal Control Agencies have been metastasized with excess pit bulls which bites the tax payer in the ass housing and euthanizing them. In this piece, OMS will explore the collective damage of declaring "Open Mauling Season" on a state population by naively trusting the pit bull lobby.

PART I: California Pit Bull DBRFs...Current Body count:
48


The red balloons are Pit Bull DBRFs...Almost blocking out the sun in SoCal!

Jerry Brown has Governed over 18 Californians being mauled to death by Pit Bulls...5 from his two terms in the 70's and a grotesque 13 from his current term which started in 2011. He has a ways to go to catch up with Texas Governor Rick Perry's astonishing 32 Pit Bull DBRFs! 
 
Another babysitting fatality! California's 28th Pit Bull DBRF victim since 2005!

* Note San Diego Pit Breeder's produced dogs that killed 4 humans in the past year; Here is the County Dog Bite Rate Data:

"Pit bull, 8.85 bites per 100 pit bulls, three times higher than the next closest breed"

Second-highest rate in the analysis:
Rottweiler, 3.03 bites per 100 rottweilers

Lowest rates in the analysis:
Pug, 0.35 bites per 100 pugs
Golden retriever, 0.34 bites per 100 golden retrievers

Nutters love to claim Golden Retrievers bite more citing genetics...But San Diego shows us that Pitties are 26 more times likely to bite!

A pit bull and a pit bull-mix had ravaged the boy and ripped the clothes from his body. The search for Tyler began about 10:30 am that morning. Many people reportedly joined in the search. Hours later, Tyler's father, Matt Babcock, heard the chilling words, "Oh my God, it's the boy. The dogs got him. Call 911." A medical helicopter landed in the pasture and airlifted the boy to Children's Hospital Central California where he succumbed to his wounds and died. No charges were filed against the pit bull owners. Pit Murder...The perfect crime!

HOTEL MAULIFORNIA

On a dark desert highway, life-flight helos in the air
A pack of pit bulls, had escaped from their lair
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a rotating light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop due to fright

A Pit Bull stood in the doorway;
It heard the dinner bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were screams down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a bloody place
(Such a bloody place)
She had a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel Maulifornia
Any time of year
(Any time of year)
Helo pad is in the rear

Her mind is definitely twisted, she’s in knee deep with Best Friends
She loves her pittie, pittie dogs instead of men
How they prance in the courtyard, one sewn up by a vet.
Some breeds bite to dismember, some bite just a lil bit

So I called up the Captain,
"Please muzzle your canine"
He said, "We haven't had BSL here since nineteen eighty nine"
And still those victims screaming from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel Maulifornia
Such a bloody place
(Such a bloody place)
She had a lovely face
They shootin’ it up at the Hotel Maulifornia
Not a surprise
Nutters pass alibis

Bullet holes in the ceiling,
Police rush scalps on ice
And she said "The owners are just prisoners here
Of their own device”

And in the master's chambers,
The pitties spring for the feast
Furmommies stab it with their steely knives,
But police have to shoot the beasts

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door, had to sew my ear back
To the place it was before
"Relax, " said the pit man, "You need to freeze like a tree“
You can check-out any time you like, But upright you may never leave!"

(Awesome Guitar out-solo)

  1. OMS, I note this statistic, found in your report
    "In the 2010-11 fiscal year, pit bulls were the ninth most popular breed of licensed dogs in Ventura County. The breed had the largest number of biting incidents that year, 172, according to Animal Services. Chihuahuas were second, with 130 incidents, and German shepherds third, with 74."

    To be fair, one would think that you might include the number of life flight transports required for attacks from the second place Chihuahuas...

    I'm just sayin'

    1. In reference to the comments about the Chihuahuas, I just recently read something that was really interesting.

      http://retrieverman.net/tag/manchester-terrier/

      “I have a hard time believing that the Meso-American dogs were originally as small as the modern dog we call a Chihuahua.
      The apple heads and moleras that so define the Chihuahua breed most likely come from cross-breeding with toy bull terrier and toy English white terriers. Considering how common these terriers were in the late nineteenth century in the fancy, it would make sense that Chihuahua breeders would have crossed them with their dogs to “improve them.” The toy English white terrier was as small as the modern Chihuahua, weighing less than 6 pounds, and it would have been a useful outcross to reduce size.”

      So there you go, the Chihuahua is the modern day “toy white bulldog”

      Just thought that was interesting. It seems that a lot of dog breeds originate from bull and terrier mixes. Not just pit bulls... A LOT of dog breeds. Some extinct now. Pretty interesting.

    2. well, that explains the pit nutters attraction to chis and the chi aggression. thank you freya.

      Delete
    3. Well, that’s one way of looking at it.
      That’s not really what I had intended that comment to mean. I had just read that and I remembered reading something on here about chi attacks, plus I know how you all enjoy writing about bull dog history and where pit bull type dogs came from.
      I figured it might interest someone. The two extremes, on one end the tiniest dog and on the other the “mutant” and both from the breeding of bull dogs and terriers. Possibly. If it’s true that’s where the chi originated from. I think it’s just speculation on the bloggers part but seems well educated and the picture of the toy white terriers sure does look like Chihuahuas.

  2. Yes, OMS how remiss of you to not include Chihuahua DBRFs maulings, and maimings. One might even call that biased...you know, if one were a nincompoop.

    Thank you for lightening the heavy reading with your sardonic humor. Makes it much better to get through.

  5. Vintage, thanks for all you do!

    I was just reading a FaceBook post about a new DBRF, and once again, the owners say "the dog never acted aggressively in its life." It was 18 months old and had no previous bite history.

    Since you like to make lists and collections (and we love to read them), I was going to suggest a topic for a list: quotes from owners of pits that maul or kill people or other pets. The list would be a good place to send people who are considering adopting a "wiggle butt" but are still open to reason. They hear from the nutters whose own pits "have never bitten anybody!" It would be useful to have a list of quotes of owners saying the dog had never acted aggressively before its DBRF or pet mauling.

    Hey, I also thought of another list: dogs whose first mauling occurred relatively late in life. I know there's at least one 9 year old pit with no bite history that was responsible for a human fatality.

My best friend has 2 children under the age of 5 and his kids and my indoor dogs are best of friends.They run and play hide and seek and always just have a great time. I have had exactly 1 bad pitbull, ever. That's it. The rottweiler I grew up with as a child was the only dog that ever bit me. Pit's are beautiful animals that have a bad reputation and it makes me sick. I would never have another breed of dog in my life. I raise Blue dogs and only sell them to families. People need to open their eyes and realize that all dogs are aggressive towards other dogs, especially food aggressive. It's disgusting that people fight these animals, but it happens. I will never get rid of my dogs, I will move before that happens. They might be scary looking, but that is all that scares me about them. Thanks for your site.

      ADRIAN, Mich. — The owner of two pit bull dogs that got loose and attacked animals in a petting zoo last fall was handed down a 15-day jail term Monday in Lenawee County District Court. But he was allowed to keep 17 dogs and puppies he currently has in his Cambridge Township home.

      Ian Hensen, 31, was given an option of serving the 15 days in the Lenawee Development Corp. residential center in Adrian, allowing him to come and go to work each day. The sentence is to begin within a week, ordered Judge James E. Sheridan.

    3. One more favorite:

      June 2005; Pit Bull owner sets the record straight with his comment number 9016 on this Anti-BSL Petition: Matt Lebold said 06/08/05, 9:19 pm (verified)"Be responsible. Tell the truth about the breed. Stop using sensationalism and scare tactics to sell your stories"



      UPDATE: May 2011; Matt is found dead in his apartment from a drug overdose. His Pit Bull had eaten parts of his face, neck and chest. *Comment: ick!

  8. It's always telling when people without attention spans, reading comprehension skills, and meaningful argument complain about the "length" of an article/book/report.

    Translation: "You BORE me! ::FLOUNCE!::"

    Because the validity of Vintage's argument/findings are dependent upon whether your undisciplined, inferior intellect is able (or even willing) to read his entire blog post...

  11. Update: Maulifornia had its 47th Pit Bull DBRF this week!

    Out in Hollywood they are making a new film featuring recently deceased Soprano's Star James Gandofini and a rescue pit bull.... Very appropriate since Pit Bulls and Death go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

    Sinister HB 428 has failed the public.

    Oh well, hose the blood off the sidewalk and pump out another litter!....

  14. I live in san diego and yes, it is true. We have FAR too many pitbulls around here. I have never owned one but I have been trapped in my car by two "friendly" pit bulls when coming home from work. They messed up the side of my car trying to "play" with me. Their owner was always being told to keep a better hold on them as they were always getting loose. Of course, they never acted like that when she was around. Another friendly pit bull got loose and entered our back yard and attacked my cousin who required stitches afterward. Fortunately for my cousin he is as strong as an ox and was able to beat the dog off of him but still sustained injuries. Had it been one of my nieces or nephews, they wouldn't have stood a chance. That was a dog always being reported as loose and dangerous to animal control. It wasn't euthanized of course. I have had a pit nutter passerby allow his dog to try and fight my dog through our chain link fence and when I honked at him he started to cuss me out for "disrespecting" his dog. My husband has been chased in our own driveway by a pit and barely escaped. I also had a relative (child) get attacked by his own pit bull puppy(I thought puppies were supposed to be cute and friendly). Another time I was at a friends home with their beloved pit bull mix when it snapped and lunged at a child that was visiting. One of the owners (the husband) said "oh don't worry about that, he wouldn't really hurt anybody". Thankfully the wife didn't want to chance it and locked the dog outside for the remainder of the visit which, of course wasn't long. I have met a couple of pitbulls thay did seem like nice dogs but, unfortunately, just a couple. All of the owners involved thought thier dogs were very nice though. Even after they were told of thier people agressive behavior. The guys who's pit almost bit that child(who, by the way, was sitting quietly on the floor not even close to the dog, not even looking at the dog) still thought his dog wouldn't hurt a fly. Neither I nor anyone else could convince him otherwise. I have, sadly, met enough agressive pit bulls to convince me that it is often NOT JUST the owner but rather it IS the breed. The owners can be pretty stupid too though. There are about 9 pits on my street right now. Three of them are mean pits, all from seperate homes, on my street right now that often get loose and attack animals. I am just waiting to hear about at least one of them mauling somebody's child. I hope it never happens. I can hope.....

  15. Just what I would expect - denial, denial, denial. I look forward to the day SoCal joins the civilized world and bans the breed.

    I am sick and tired of the constant confrontations with these disgusting dogs and their idiotic owners.
