like battered woman's syndrome... but with more denial and recklessness!

Wow... a day after I write about Kevin, Sport, and horrific pitbull attacks that result in blame, contempt, or apathy for the victims and a perverse, grossly disproportionate frenzy of favor for violent and unpredictable animals...

...comes a gruesome attack on the very sort of cold, ignorant, and/or immature human-specific-sadist that regularly advertises for the breed.  Her rhetoric is typical zealot propaganda tripe such as:

"[posting] on Facebook ... 'There's not [sic] such thing as a dangerous dog. Just a dangerous owner.'
"Another status was accompanied by a picture of a dog with its bottom in the air, reading: ‘To everyone who thinks that pitbulls are mean - you can kiss my hiney.’"

Here we have a typical 'holier than thou' animal advocate that fails to address any of the REAL and RELEVANT issues of the breed, while sanctimoniously ignoring or mocking those possessing any real depth of investigation and/or experience about the issue, asserting how allegedly ignorant BSL advocates/pitbull realists are.  Among the universal attributes that emerge with type of person is an angry refusal to read ANYTHING that does not sync with what they want to believe (celebrity sound-bites and surface drivel from sites that *benefit* from advocating the breed). i.e. confirmation bias
Another trait is a propensity to wax on about how 'close-minded' and uneducated a safety advocate is.

So now, one (with a second victim as collateral, I might add) of those staunchly stubborn 'breed ambassadors' has had her chosen breed rip her scalp off and deeply lacerate her face.

will she still insist it is only bad owners that are the problem?
Will she sacrifice her personal character on the altar of pitbull advocacy?

The most disturbing thing is... she just might.
It's happened before. 
No, I'm not kidding.

Bill Lesinki knew his friend's pitbull since its puppyhood.  Still, that penultimately meant nothing--despite claims that properly socialized pitbulls are no more dangerous than other dogs, or that they *must* be trained/abused to attack, Monster the pitbull attacked someone he was very familiar with, and had no prior incidents of aggression with this man.

"I was just in shock that the dog did this because I was just playing with the dog prior to him biting me - about five minutes prior to that," he said.

Lesinski was visiting his neighbor and, after playing with his pit bull, stopped to take a closer look at his neighbor's stereo.

"I bent over, crouched down to look at the subwoofer, when the dog lunged forward and grabbed me by the face and ripped the front of my face off," he said.

Lesinski's nose was torn off. He was taken to one hospital where doctors tried treating him. But by the time he was transferred to Northwestern Memorial, it was too late for plastic surgeons to re-attach it.

"Basically, I'm going to have to be like this for the next 9-12 months because of ... procedure after procedure that needs to be performed," he said.

He will need at least six surgeries to reconstruct his face which could rack up $200,000 in medical bills. Lesinski just started his own towing business and does not have insurance.

Still, he continues to regurgitate the tired 'it's not the dogs, it's the owners' deflection.  (I wonder what his long-time friend feels about that, since it implies he is a 'bad owner'...)

Sorena and Justin Frostad are another example of how irrational and disturbing pitbull worship can be.  They took the ill advice of pitbull apologists and figured they could introduce their newborn, Ariona, to their pitbulls (in much the same fashion as one would do with other dogs).  They held their child close to the fence so that the dogs could sniff her and familiarize themselves with her scent.

With any other non-fighting breed this would be a perfectly reasonable course of action.  Unfortunately, one of their dogs acted out it's violent genetic heritage and suddenly snapped out--THROUGH the fence--and severed their 2-DAY-old daughter's leg.

"The parents of the mauled Coffeyville infant, Sorena and Justin Frostad, spoke with members of the press several days after the attack. During the interview they refused to answer questions about the pit bulls, and made no mention of the loss of their daughter's leg. In fact, they appeared not to acknowledge the lifelong repercussions of their daughter's missing limb, and their responsibility for the loss."

Even more disturbing is the mother's own written response, which insinuates that, since neither the breed nor herself is at fault, the severing of her baby's girl's leg was nothing more than an 'accident'... and that being the case, there is no cause--according to that un-logic--to stop her from exposing her daughter to pitbulls in the future.  Why else find it so absolutely crucial to continue being a part of the bloody cycle of propaganda and violence?

As a baby, Ariona won't remember the attack or the loss of her leg, but her future is riddled with guaranteed hardships and agony.  How will she feel about pitbulls in the future?  It would stand to reason that, quite reasonably, she would at the very least be compelled to avoid them.  Yet, there's a disturbing possibility she might not...

Vaughan Chambers was savaged by a pitbull when she was 10 years old.  The dog clamped down to the bone and ripped away the overlaying skin and muscle.  She immediately received 286 stitches and ultimately wound up enduring more than 20 surgeries to save her leg. 
Still, that was all in vain. 

The problems persisted throughout her life, and at 39 years old, her lower left leg died and was immediately amputated below the knee. The prosthetic to replace it, alone, cost $14,800. Financial devastation is the promise of her initial encounter with pitbulls, just as it is for every pitbull attack survivor.

Despite all this, she is a fierce activist for pitbull propaganda.

Darla Nappora was a member of BADRAP, perhaps the largest organization manufacturing pitbull falsehoods in the name of deifying the breed.  Her own pitbulls killed her, and thusly also terminated the life of her unborn child.  Yet, when it is so obvious that such a fatal mauling is without rhyme or reason, her widower STILL continued to advocate for the breed that savagely killed his wife and unborn child.  Greg claimed his wife's death was nothing more than a "freak accident". 

"They are the most loving animals I have ever had in my life. Whatever happened right now was not the breed's fault," said Napora, who found his wife dead when he returned to the couple's Pacifica home from his construction job with plans to take her to lunch Thursday. "It was just a freak accident."

He even had the dog who ripped Darla's throat out buried with her, and made a spectacle of asserting he forgave the animal.

Last year, Michal Nelson was killed by one of the family pets when she entered its pen to break up ice in the dog's water-bowl.  Her body--upon which the dog was perched--was discovered by one of her children.  Like Darla, the pitbull had ripped out Michal's neck.

Boyfriend Nicholas Hare excused, diminished, and dismissed her death, and was far more concerned with the loss of her killer and its peers; (emphasis added here)

Nicholas Hare
This something that came completely out of left field.
I mean, it was her time...
As horrible and tragic as it was, it was…
It's really hard to lose five family members in one day basically [referring to four pit bulls authorities euthanized due to their aggression and his girlfriend{'s death}], because they were our children for years and years.

  1. It is obvious to anyone with sanity that there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with these people; which is why they choose pit bulls in the first place. These dogs are not killers because they have the wrong owners; they attract the wrong owners BECAUSE they are killers.

  2. Remind me again about how biased against pit bulls the media is: http://news.msn.com/us/campaign-to-save-dog-in-arizona-mauling

  3. I have a neighbor like this. He claims his scalp was ripped off, but he knows its just the owner so now he has a HUGE mauler that he calls a "therapy" dog so it can live where they are banned. Total POS.
