ALL BARK AND NO BITE Author(s): EILEEN MCNAMARA Date: June 30, 2004 Page: A1 Section: Metro/Region First, dogs; now roosters: It's turning out to be a tough summer for unpopular animals in Massachusetts. The West Stockbridge Planning Board voted Monday night to banish Hawk, a Rhode Island Red rooster, from Amy Loveless's backyard. The neighbors say the rooster just makes too much noise. You might think that people who choose to live in a rural town would be familiar with the natural vocal habits of roosters, but the keeping of poultry does require a special permit, and board members do want to be responsive to their constituents, so Hawk will have to go. The ruling followed less than a week after the Boston City Council voted to muzzle all pit bulls within the city limits. The councilors say the dogs are just too aggressive. You might think that people who choose to let their dogs roam and bite passersby would be prosecuted for violating existing state laws and municipal ordinances, but politicians know how to exploit hysteria, so yesterday Mayor Thomas M. Menino signed a new law for pit bull owners to ignore. Silencing roosters and muzzling dogs are not the most important public policy decisions that local elected officials will make this summer. They might even be the silliest. It is easy enough to mock opponents of Boston's new pit bull ordinance, including the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, as antidiscrimination zealots ranting about "breed profiling." But it is the supporters of this ordinance who are responding to a serious public safety issue with a knee-jerk solution that is guaranteed to fail. The information distributed by the animal control office charged with enforcing the law contradicts its very premise, that pit bulls are inherently dangerous. "In general," says the website of Boston Animal Control, "pit bulls can make wonderful companions to people. Pit bulls are very loyal animals and, if trained properly, can have wonderful temperaments and even make wonderful family pets. It is when they fall into the wrong hands that they can be turned into killing machines." Do we think that drug dealers who use pit bulls to menace delinquent customers and so-called sportsmen who train them to kill in illegal dog fights dutifully license and vaccinate their pets, walk them on a leash, and clean up after them in compliance with the city's pooper-scooper law? Why, then, should we assume that they will follow new rules requiring them to neuter their dogs, muzzle them in public, and post notice of the presence of a pit bull on their property? Why shouldn't we assume, instead, that they will ignore these regulations, too, or simply transfer their loyalty to equally trainable German shepherds, Rottweilers, or Doberman pinschers? In recent incidents involving threatening pit pulls that led to the ordinance, none involved an animal that was being restrained properly by its owner. In Boston on Monday, police shot and killed a dog that charged at them from a porch. In Leominster, on the same day, police shot and killed a pit bull that lunged at them from a parked car. Police had stopped the car to arrest the driver for operating under the influence of alcohol. Think he was a responsible pet owner? Pit bulls trained to be aggressive by lax or criminally minded owners are responsible for too many dog bites. So are all dogs that were not socialized in their first 14 weeks of life, unneutered males, and family pets that have never been trained to obey. Let's muzzle them all. My own 9-year-old mini schnauzer lost his eyesight to diabetes a few weeks ago. He is a menace to small children he walks into them and a fright to dinner guests he barks loudly at anyone who makes noise. I could keep him on a leash and out of the dining room. Or, maybe, there ought to be a law. Eileen McNamara is a Globe columnist. She can be reached at [email][email protected][/email].

Yep, mine too!! The are big bad "guard dogs" barking like fools at people who come into my yard or knock on my door. All they are really saying is "Hurry & come in so we can PLAY!!!!" The minute they are in the house my fools are slobbering all over them. Debby

:drinking: :beerchug: :drinka: :drink1: Debby

That is soo sad, I hope they find the punks and soon! Debby

AND one more thing, Hartagold & Odnarb, this is [b]NOT[/b] a [b]pit bull [/b]board. People here own many different breeds and may not be as familiar with our breeds (or the players) as we are. Yelling & cursing at them is not going to educate them, not every one here knows proper pit bull temperment because they do not own the breed. I don't know everything about every breed of dog & I don't expect them to know it either. Just like when Carla posted on the board like everyone should know who she is, that should have been a clue. Debby

[quote]A pit bull with a PROPER temperament would NOT attack a child for having rocks thrown at it, PERIOD. This is another example of making excuses for a dog with a dangerous temperament[/quote] This is true BUT does ANY ONE know if this dog is 100% APBT? Nope. Throw another breed into the mix & who knows WHAT can happen, just because there is APBT in the dog does NOT guarantee an APBT temperment. Of COURSE the APBT will STILL be blamed for the incident, whether or NOT it was mixed. [quote]I think ANY dog irregardless of breed, that shows any sign of uncontrolled human aggression should be put to sleep. Its sad, and its not neccessarily the dogs "fault" so to speak, but its a liability waiting to happen, and I would rather (as heartbreaking as it would be) have my dog humanely euthanized rather than wait for it to maul someone and end up shot by police[/quote] I SO agree with you on this statement. I am SICK of people making excuses for biting dogs! None of them should be allowed to exist, whether it be a cute little Chi or a Mastiff. Debby

Do you like this one?? [img]http://www.auction-pix.com/katasha/stuff/anim_spank.gif[/img] or this one [img]http://www.auction-pix.com/katasha/stuff/whip.gif[/img] or how about his one?

Sarah said her brother HAD some kittens, no where does she say they are from HIS cat. :o A few months ago a pregnant cat ( NOT MINE) showed up at my door. :o I took her in, gave her a warm, dry place to sleep & some food to eat. :o I kept her until the babies were born (ended up costing me $500 for an emergancy c-section & spay). :o When the kittens were weened I found new homes for ALL of them momma cat included! :o I also gave the new owners certificates for free spay\nueters and now they are ALL altered, fat, happy & living in loving homes. :o Is it MY fault these kittens came about? :o Nope but I did help them get a good start in life. :o SO without knowing the WHOLE story I think it unfair to condemn her brother. :o Debby :laola: :smilecolros: :lmaa:

How cute!!! Thank you for helping the poor baby out! Debby

I wish MY dogs were as "untrained" as yours!! Debby

I tend to post just like I talk (without all the rambling.... sometimes, the mumbling & the lost trains of thought.... again, sometimes and you have to remember that Texas accent when you read my posts...it helps) and I guess I come across like I am arguing when in reality, I'm just talking. :wink: :wink: Debby

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's nice to see people who love other's dogs as much as they do their own. So many times people view what they do as a "job" and could care less about their clients. I'm glad there are people like you who DO care & hurt as badly as the owners when a loss occurs. I'm sure they appreciate it more than you know. Debby

We're not fighting. :wink: Debby
