Fewer dog bites since pit bull ban | Winnipeg | News | Winnipeg Sun

Has Winnipeg’s 1990 pit bull ban prevented serious dog attacks?

A new study suggests that might be the case.

A University of Manitoba study found breed-specific legislation (BSL) that banned “pit bull terrier-type dogs” in Winnipeg was followed by only a slight dip in the number of people hospitalized after dog bite injuries. The average rate of hospitalizing bites in Winnipeg pre-ban was 2.93 per 100,000 people per year, which dipped to 2.81 post-ban.

But when you compare injured youth in Winnipeg to Brandon, a city without BSL, the apparent decline is more noticeable.

Study proves pitbull ban is justified | Full Comment | National Post

PostmediaThere’s nothing more humiliating for a journalist than pontificating on a subject with ardent conviction, and then being proved wrong. But there’s nothing more gratifying for a journalist than pontificating on a subject with ardent conviction and being proved right.At the moment I am doing a modest little victory dance as I type. One of the first columns I ever wrote for the Post December 10, 2003 argued that pit bulls were a danger to society because of their nature. Naturally I backed up my claim with plenty of statistical ammunition. And today I feel vindicated.I was, even as a newbie, aware that readers who disagree with you can get pretty hot under the collar, but I had no idea how exponentially explosive the response is when you diss a dog breed. My column was distributed to dog-owner sites and I received a tsunami of hate mail the like of which I have never seen before or since. I was called unprintable names – and more than one pitbull owner spelled out in graphic detail what he would like to see a trained pit bull do to me. One responder, curiously enough, expressed the hope that I would get all my fingers chopped off while playing the piano. Not sure what the connection to pitbulls is there.Anyway, reasonable people shared my opinion.

The Service Dog Scam & The Harm It Does To Those Who Need Real Service Dogs.

The Service Dog Scam & The Harm It Does To Those Who Need Real Service Dogs.

 

Over the last several months I have been reading about and looking into what appears to be a growing problem of people falsely claiming their dog is a service dog. It seems this is made easy by many u scrupulous people who will, FOR A FEE, give anyone a fake id and or a fake certification saying any dog is a service dog.

Some of the sites online that offer certification, without testing the dogs, with out verifying any training or any facts about the dog and without even verifying that there is even a need for a service dog are;

SARA (Service Animal Registry of America)
USARplus (United Service Animal Registry) *
Goldstar German Shepherds
SDA (Service Dogs America)
Registered Service Dog
SDCA (Service Dog Certification of America, aka Certify My Dog)
NSAR (National Service Animal Registry)
American Service Dogs
Service Dog ID
Certified Service Dog
National Association of Service Dogs
Service Dog Tags, aka emotional support animals**
Free My Paws
CRTASA (Canadian Registry of Therapy Animals and Service Animals)
USSDR (United States Service Dog Registry) – registration is free, but they also sell official looking certificates and ID

These sites basically say tell us you dog is a service dog and send us $XXXXX amount of money and we will send you a piece of paper or a pocket sized card claiming your dog is a certified service dog.

While the ADA makes it very clear that therapy dogs, emotional support dogs, companion animals are not service dogs and not covered under the service dog laws.

However some of the sites listed above do not make that distinction clear to the site visitors and prey of their ignorance to sell them ids that are not even able to be called a service dog and as such not exempted by the ADA.

Finally, why on earth would any one with a true service dog shell out up to hundreds of dollars to try to get fake certifications? If they did not only would they be throwing their money away, but they would be helping to enable the massive service dog fraud issue going on today.

Here are some links to stories about service dog issues we are facing today.

I performed a simple google search as was suggested to me. I ran a search for the phrase “service dog certification “. It returned 2,690,000 results and below I am pasting the first page of those results.

Whether pit bulls or health care, it’s about personal responsibility – Morgan Hill Times: Articles From Gilroy: morgan hill, pit bull, dog attack, lisa pampuch, lisapampuch iname.com

July 3, 2012 // Posted in Pit Bull Attacks  |  No Comments

These are just a few dog attack stories about one dangerous breed from one tiny corner of the world. Don’t tell me that treating some dog breeds differently than others is akin to racism. Dog breeds have been specifically selected for certain traits that make some breeds more lethal than others.

Don’t tell me that irresponsible dog owners are the “real” problem. Just as you cannot keep a big cat like a lion or tiger that’s capable of maiming or killing without special licenses and extreme precautions, so too you shouldn’t be able to keep dogs that carry similar risk without special licenses and extreme precautions. Pit bulls and Rottweilers accounted for 73 percent of fatal dog attacks in the US from 2006 to 2008.

PIT BULL DANGERS RADIO LIVE @ FIVE

Tony Solesky, Pit Bulls & the Maryland Senate Hearings.

Tony Solesky joins us today and speaks about testifying at the Maryland Senate hearings, about the Maryland high courts ruling, the brutal mauling of his son that is the reason for all of this and how his family is handling all the stress and having to relive the horrific experiences over and over again.

It is time to stop allowing the innocent victims to be forgotten, ignored or abused further by the pit bull owners and advocates who seem to care for nothing other than a dog. It is time to make sure the victims are remembered and their voices are heard.

KOGO AM radio hangs up on callers who don’t agree with DJ

June 15, 2012 // Posted in General  |  No Comments

KOGO am radio out of San Diego called this morning about the attack that killed an 8 month old child. The DJ Chip Franklin I believe is his name, tried to make it sound like guns and pit bulls are the same But once I stated that no gun ever escaped confinement , ran down the street and killed a child on its own they hung up on me. The DJ was trying to defend pit bulls despite the facts and history of the pit bull crisis facing us all today.

Once again they spend their time making assumptions and attacking the owners and everyone except the dog. Yet the one person who should be in the thoughts of all is the victim. Yet another pit bull advocate on the air, ignores the victim and tries to defend the animal that mauled the child to death.

Chip Franklin talks about how bad journalism is today all the while he is stating his personal assumptions design to take blame away from the dog when their is no evidence to back up is statements. Chip Franklin is an example of what is wrong with journalism today.

T – 24 Hours and Counting

June 10, 2012 // Posted in BSL, Dog Attacks, General, Laws, Pit Bull Myths, Pit Bulls, Statistics, Studies, Videos (Tags: , , , , , , , ) |  1 Comment

This is one of the results of the massive over breeding of pit bulls in America today.

     The number of pit bulls put down has reached 1 million a year in shelters. This is caused by over breeding and by the pit bull advocacy’s efforts to try to convince innocent families that pit bulls are safe. So the families go get a pit bull puppy and go home convinced by the advocates myths, misinformation and lies that they have done a good thing.

Fortunately most find out the truth about the dogs aggression before it fully matures.  These are the lucky ones, they can take the dog to the shelter and drop it off before it has attacked, seriously injured or killed anyone. The unlucky ones are those you hear in the news reports practically every day.

They are always so shocked and in disbelief that their sweet loving family pet pit bull suddenly with out warning attacked either the owner, a family member,
friend or neighbor. They made the mistake of listening to the pit bull advocacy and believing their lies. Even though they like all the rest of us see the news reports all the time, even though they like the rest of us see how much worse pit bull attacks are than other dogs, despite all the empirical evidence and cold hard fact that pit bulls are extremely more dangerous than other dogs. Despite the fact that pit bulls kill more people than all other dogs combined, despite the fact that the relentless and vicious attacks cause so much more injury, trauma, tragedy and permanently life altering consequences. They still choose to believe the pit bull advocates and look what it has cost them now.

Watch the video T-24 Hours and see an advocate making a last minute attempt to save a pit bull that should never have been born. Stop the over breeding and stop the myths, misinformation and lies,  Stop allowing the pit bull owners and advocates spreading their myths, misinformation and lies, stop allowing them to knowingly continue to put people in harms way with their deliberately deceitful and dishonest rhetoric, propaganda and obfuscations. Stop allowing the pit bull advocacy from continuing to make the problems worse, stop allowing them to cause more and more people to get seriously injured and killed by these dogs.

Below is a link to on of their videos, when watching it be sure to take note of the pit bulls behavior and that of the camera operator.
