Dog Attacks in Naples Florida

So apparently, you can be sentenced to jail for 3 years for shooting a pit bull if you live in Naples, Florida.  


From the Naples Daily News: "NAPLES — Eight months after she was arrested for shooting and killing her boyfriend's pregnant pit bull, an East Naples woman received three years in prison on animal cruelty, battery and weapons possession charges Tuesday."

Hmmmm....

What about when pit bulls KILL a person in Naples, FL?  Let's not forget Mrs. Carshena Benjamin who was killed by a pit bull - and the police report notates that bite marks were consistent with the pit bull that was hurriedly dropped off in the middle of nowhere by Linda Billie and Shirley Newell. And let's not forget how Linda Billie and Shirley Newell were totally and completely guilty in their police interviews.   However, despite evidence, no charges were ever filed.  

What about when pit bulls kill a beloved horse in Naples, FL?  Let's not forget about Dancer, who was viciously attacked and killed while on a trail ride with his young owner.    And Collier County's fearless DAS leader, Amanda Townsend, let these dogs be relocated to Columbia County (also in Florida) - no fines, no punishment, no accountability for the owner.  The dogs are happily living out their lives "somewhere else" - you know - as long as it's not in Naples, Florida - who cares, right?  

More Cesar Milan - The expert on Fighting Breeds

Meanwhile....back on an episode of Dog Whisperer, this was the situation:

" Cesar travels to the Lone Star state, where he meets Butch, an overly aggressive English bulldog and tries to rein in his out-of-control behavior."

Basically, the dog in question is a total bully.  Two nice people adopt an English Bulldog.  The dog owner says: "...as time goes on, he (the dog) just took over more and more and more....anything that is mine is his....I can't go out in the yard and do anything....I can't rake, I can't use a shovel, I can't get on a ladder, I can't drive on my golf cart, I can't mow..." (common dog owner problems for all of us, right?).  

Question by Cesar:  "Has he attacked anyone outside of the family?  (yes the man has scars on his legs from this dog attacking him).  
Answer:  "No, because we haven't allowed that".  (but you DO allow him to attack you?? Weird. )

Dog owner: "....every other dog I've ever owned, if you stare him down...the dog will submit".  

Cesar's response: "Yeah, but this is a different breed...the power that comes behind bull dog, pit bull, presa canario, the fighting breed -  They have an extra boost, they can go into a zone, they don't feel the pain anymore.  He is using the bulldog in him, which is way too powerful, so we have to 'make him dog' (I guess as in a "regular" dog)  so we can actually create the limits.  So if you are trying to create submission in a fighting breed, it's not going to happen.   They would rather die than surrender.".   If you add pain, it only infuriates them..to them pain is that adrenaline rush, they are looking forward to that, they are addicted to it... That's why they are such great fighters." 

Cesar goes on to say..."Especially with fighting breeds, you're going to have these explosions over and over because there's no limits in their brain."   

I would like to thank Mr. Milan for quite clearly stating the reality of these types of dogs on this episode - I wish Mr. Milan did it more often, and advocated responsibly for these breeds.  


Which brings me back to this.....Why DIDN'T Mr. Milan take on any of the Vick dogs?  

Liesl Wilhardt (founder of Luv A Bull) can't even handle a Chihuahua

I would say it's pretty clear that the founder of Luv A Bull Rescue may not be the right choice of a knowledgeable "rescue" person to adopt your dog from.   On an episode of "Dog Whisperer" she clearly demonstrated that she cannot train, control or "rehabilitate" an 8lb Chihuahua.  The fact that she is adopting out pit bulls scares me.

Said Chihuahua, named El Diablo, was rumored to be able to "take your hand off" if you weren't careful.

  Ohhhhh......Ahhhhhh.....killer Chihuahua!  LOL - SERIOUSLY?  Do I even need to continue, or has this gotten stupid enough for  you?

Here are the stats on the killer dog:

"In 2007, a hungry, human-aggressive, stray Chihuahua was found by shoppers in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The dog, deemed El Diablo, was taken to Lane County Animal Services, where he was spotted by Luv-a-Bull pit bull rescue owner Liesl Wilhardt. Liesl adopted El Diablo and soon found out the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. El Diablo refuses to have a leash put on him, snaps at anyone who approaches, and threatens to unravel Liesl's balanced pack of pit bulls."

Liesl couldn't even take the 8 pounder to the vet for vaccines and neutering for "many months" because "we could not handle him".  (which put other dogs and people at risk of rabies among other things - like the fact that she obviously cannot deal with even the smallest of dogs)   Seems as though Liesl the Founder of a dog rescue, could not even get a collar or leash on an 8 pound dog. 

Here is a very insightful quote from Liesl:  "when he  (the 8 pounder) lashes out at me or other people, my instinct is to leave him alone and just let him do his thing..."  (video proof coming soon)  

Okay, let's visualize that this is an 8 pound dog with Liesl listening to her instinct:

Fight For Your Pit Bull's Rights!

I fully support your efforts to support your pit bull's rights.

You would think of all of the pit bull "supporters" out there, that SOMEONE would start a grass-roots effort to advocate responsibly for this breed.  I know you are out there - why aren't you doing it?

Cesar Millan 2012

A quote from a very recent (2012) episode of  Dog Whisperer:

  "....Cesar must teach boundaries to a breed that knows no limits..." 

Cesar Millan and the Vick Dogs

Did Cesar Millan take on any of the Michael Vick dogs to join his pack for rehabilitation?


Why not?


Think about it.

Lying to your insurance company??

Insurance Fraud??


There are countless people out there lying to their landlord and/or their insurance company about what type of dog they have......I would like to see more charges brought on those dog owners whose dogs attack, maim, kill or look sideways at ANYTHING.  Let's do something about this!

Insurance Quotes FAQ

What's Drawn You and Your Dog Together?  “I belong to a couple of car clubs and my Ticia loves to ride and go to all my car shows with me. I also work in an animal hospital, so she also goes to work with me every day. That is how I adopted her, she was brought in by animal control after being left in a closet after an eviction. She was a mere 5 lbs. We nursed her back to health and I fell in love. Animal control had to change her breed on the paperwork, because pits are illegal in my county. So I am the proud owner of a beautiful Lab mix!  ~ Tanja Pawluczkowycz O’Dell

Just a quick google search of what is out there.  Do you think that your neighbor's landlord or insurance company is aware that there is a pitbull living on the premises?  

Is this fraud?  If so, what kind?  And what can be done about it?  Grass roots effort people!

Soft Language and Pit Bulls

I'd like to give a "shout out" to Craven Desires for a recent post entitled:

Greg Napora Feels Guilty

Napora's husband found his wife unconscious when he returned from work to their home on Reina del Mar. The dog stood over his wife's body before he dragged the animal to another part of the home, police said.  His pregnant wife was killed by the family pit bull.

"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...

Greggy Boy - actually thinking about the breed of dog you own and then saying something like that a day after your wife and unborn child are killed is just really saying that you have a massive amount of guilt about this happening.  I think that you suspected that something like this would happen, and it had actually crossed your mind more than a few times.  Didn't it?

Greg Napora is going to bury his wife and unborn child's remains WITH THE DOG THAT KILLED THEM. Need I say more about Greggy Boy and the GUILT he is feeling?

The obituary failed to mention that she was going to be buried with her killer.
