An international crime wave, Pit Bull Owner "Dine and Dashing"

"Man biters were always culled"

Let’s face it, America’s relationship with dogs has changed with the proliferation of Pit Bulls, the Pit Bull Advocacy Money-Machine and the non-stop, Serengeti-like daily maulings. Despite assurances from the Pit Bull community and the Dog Lobby, America’s annual death rate from dogs has surged from just five in 1974 to an average of 31 annually over the past few years with Pit Bulls and Rottweilers leading the body count. On a population adjusted basis, this represents a quadrupling of the Country’s DBRF rate. Deaths are just the tip of the iceberg as there have been thousands of terrible maulings, not to mention the countless, unlucky neighborhood dogs shredded by Pit Bulls.

The Pit Bull Play Book: Now believed to actually be a cookbook 

The latest craze taken from the Pit Owner playbook is fleeing from stunned attack victims using the Dine and Dash, or “the D&D“. A variety of techniques can be used during a D&D, from blatantly hauling ass, to giving phony names and offering a worthless promise to pay med/vets bills. Sometimes the reckless owner will traffic the animal to another locality to avoid it‘s euthanization. There have even been cases where serial D&Ders have plagued a region for months intentionally siccing the dogs on victims while using a pre-planned exit strategy to disappear during the ensuing shock and mayhem. 

By fleeing the scene, the owner escapes financial liabilities, citations/fines, and the possible euthanization of their fur-baby. They also avoid a punishment worse than death for them; condemnation/banishment from the world of Pit Nutterdom from becoming "The Bad Owner".  The crazy legal twist about the D&D, is that unlike car accidents, there is no criminal penalty for leaving the scene of a dog attack in most cities. The owner is merely looking at the fines from the bite citation even if caught, so there is no legal incentive to stay. To keep from being mauled again with un-recouped vet/medical bills, and lost wages, you must keep your wits about you and be “at the Ready” for the Pit Owner to execute their D&D plan. Additionally, one must consider the other dreaded consequence of a successful D&D…painful and expensive Rabies vaccinations since the offending wigglebutt will not be properly quarantined.

PART 1: TACTICS TO DEFEAT THE D&D

Below, are tactics you can use to defeat the D&D. From this point forward the Perp will be referred to as “the Flea-Bag”….

1. Despite pleas from the Flea-Bag, report the attack immediately. Don’t even mess with calling the Pit lovers at Animal Control, they will probably be busy subsidizing Pit Bull Spay Neuters anyway.... Call 911 and report to police you have been attacked by a Pit Bull. Law enforcement will be handy in getting proper Identification from a potential Flea-Bag. Insist LEO’s actually ask for the Flea-Bag’s ID and record it on the Police Report.

2. If the Flea-Bag offers to exchange phone numbers, have them “Hit you on the hip with their Digits” by calling your cell number. This way you will have the real one instead of a phony.

3. Expect a phony name to be given, so use your smart phone to take a picture of the dog and the Flea-Bag. This will be extremely helpful in a subsequent Flea-Bag Manhunt. Recently, Mobile technology and social networking successfully manhunted down a Flea-Bag in Chicago who turned out to be a city police officer. No wonder Chicago is one of the nation’s top Pit-Holes! Pit-Hole

4. If the Flea-Bag starts hauling ass in a car, try to write the license plate number down with anything available; in the dirt with a stick,…use your finger to write with blood on a fence or on the side of a car in a parking lot. If in the parking lot of a business and the above tactics are impossible, the last resort may be asking the business for surveillance video of the Flea-Bag‘s nutter-vehicle.

5. Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses. They will be handy if the Flea-Bag generates the ole “You or your dog provoked mine” excuse in Court.

6. When the Pit Bull Social Workers from animal Control eventually contacts you, don’t be surprised to get an semi-adversarial response from them, since one of their precious Pit Bulls is involved…They may ask you to drop charges against the Flea-Bag if they agree to euthanize the dog. Don’t. The public safety determination of the animal is a separate matter from any citations and fines to the owner. These need to go on record since the Flea-Bag can easily obtain another Pound Pittie in fifteen minutes and start the maul-cycle all over again.

GREAT PIT BULL HEROES IN HISTORY

A pit bull once saved it's "unconscious" owner by pulling her off the railroad tracks...

Nearly everyday someone is rescued from a berserk, sustained attack by a Pit Bull. The rescuers could be a police officer with a gun, a construction worker with a hammer, a neighbor with a 2x4 or just a good Samaritan who takes a mauling for a child.

Recently, pit bull advocates have been milking an incident where an "unconscious" pit bull owner was supposedly pulled off the railroad tracks before an oncoming train by her dog. Lost in the story was the fact that the "unconscious" woman had actually passed out drunk while walking home from boozing with a friend!

Periodically, the pit bull advocates will cycle contrived pit-heroism stories. These normally consist of the phantom sexual attacker that no one ever sees, the reckless trailer dweller without functioning smoke alarms or taking a bite from a venomous snake and instantly dying. The purpose of the stories is to create a smokescreen as to why the public should tolerate the continued breeding of pit bulls and absorb the ever increasing stream of maulings.

As of October 2013, 226 Americans have been killed by Pit Bulls since the last CDC Report which documented 330 DBRFs from all breeds in the US between 1979 and 1998. Pit Bulls are currently on pace to exceed 330 DBRFs by September 2017.

Moving onward...Real Heroes!

The Carnegie Medal is the most respected and recognized Life Saving award in the world

The highly respected Carnegie Foundation has been recognizing heroes in North America since 1904. Of the nearly 150 Life Saving medals they have presented to rescuers during animal attacks, 49 have gone for canine incidents. Excluding the 12 medals awarded for rabid canines in the earlier part of the 20th century,...Since 1985; 30 of the 38 awards have gone to individuals saving lives during pit bull attacks. In many instances, the selfless hero sustains a mauling saving the victim. The remainder of awards have gone to a handful of Rottweiler, Doberman and GSDs attacks.... nearly mirroring the current DBRF pattern in the United States.

Many rescuers take a mauling saving a victim...How would you like to jump in and tangle with these two canine freak shows?!? 

The Good Guys Part I, Pit Bull Carnegies...The sustained, berserking attack is the hallmark of the pit bull and provides plenty of opportunities for heroism!

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.

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.
