Death Row Dog

Death Row Dog

In response to the following article, I am going to use humans as an example when it comes to raising kids. You can beg to differ.

 This is what I mean when I say the caregivers have total blame when it comes to raising animals, humans etc. I am here to say, HELL YA! Blame it on the caregivers, I am sick of the crap that people say, You can’t blame the parents for how a person or in this case a dog ends up. For your information, just like human beings, if you raise a child in an unhealthy emotional and unsafe enovironment, let’s say for example in a violent and abusive home where the child witnesses or/and experiences violence, you bet your bottom dollar that in 8 out of 10 times that person will end up being a troubled person and in and out of the justice system like it’s a revolving door.

And this is true with raising dogs, the dog will end up attacking people or end up in shelters like it’s a revolving door. When an owner trains a dog from when it’s a puppy, train it the right way meaning in a enviornment where punishment for doing wrong doesn’t consist of punching the daylights out of the poor thing for pissing on your floor, or locking it up in a cage 15 hours a day because the owner is too damn fuckin lazy for not housebreaking the dog, 9 out of 10 times the dog won’t attack people. I know of people who have a pit bull mix breeds and their dogs are the sweetest, most gentle dogs. Why? because the dofs were brought up in healthy loving households.

This dog in the article doesn’t deserve to die, it should be saved and raised in a loving home. I am not excusing the fact the dog attacked a little boy and had 200 stiches, but gimme a fuckin break humans kill humans and they’re out of jail in 7 or less years, depending if they receive credit for sitting in jail and if they do they’re out in 3 years, credit for killing someone. Isn’t the justice system fantastic? It’s just as corrupt as the people breaking the law. Anyway, that’s another story. And here we are killing dogs like they are flies on the wall.

Rambo, meet Bandit – all the proof you’ll ever need that life on Ontario’s death row for doggies isn’t, well, a terminal experience.

Rambo, a pit bull puppy hauled into court recently for the simple crime of being young, now faces death by euthanasia.

But Bandit’s been under a death sentence since 2004, when a judge ordered the pit bull-Labrador cross to be put down for a vicious attack on a 3-year-old a year earlier.

Today Bandit is doing just fine, say his supporters at the Toronto Humane Society, which has custody while the appeals work their way through court.

Bandit’s attack on the boy should be blamed on a puppy’s lack of training and boundaries, humane society workers say. With training, they note, Bandit has turned into a friendly, well-adjusted dog.

"Everybody here likes him," said society president Tim Trow.

Rambo doesn’t even have a bite on his rap sheet. The worst thing about him is his birthday. The 10-month-old puppy was born well after a province-wide ban on new pit bulls took effect Aug. 29, 2005.

Picked up by Mississauga animal control officers last Christmas Day after he ran away from the back yard of his owner, Gabriela Nowakowska, Rambo is in custody while she challenges Ontario’s ban.

But there is life after a death sentence – and a rather pleasant one at that, if Bandit’s life at the humane society is any indication. While the society appeals Bandit’s death sentence, the 4-year-old dog remains in limbo, just one of the many long-term lodgers at the Toronto shelter.

The year after Bandit bit Daniel Collins – it took more than 200 stitches to close the wound – Ontario passed an amendment saying pit bulls born more than 90 days after the ban took effect must be put down. Existing pit bulls are allowed as long as they are sterilized and wear a muzzle in public.

While awaiting his day in court, Bandit follows a schedule of walks and naps, and sometimes he gets to go along with Trow to meetings as proof of the pup’s docility. The society prides itself on rehabilitating dogs others consider aggressive.

"We work with them, we care for them, we love them," Trow said, noting the shelter’s nearly nonexistent euthanasia rate.
