Why does Obam’s new interrogation board remind me of “closing gitmo” and “cash for clunkers”?
He has again jumped into the swimming hole without testing the water. Another brilliant example of Micro Management.
He wanted to close Gitmo. No fore thought as to what to do with or where to put the detainees. Now he is wanting to force these terrorist on the citizens of Michigan and they just plain do not want them.
Rushed into Cash for Clunkers without having the foresight to insure that the major amount of the money went for “American Made”. First he nationalized the automobile industry, then spent three billion dollars to stimulate the economies of South Korea and Japan.
Now for his latest stroke of genius. Has his attorney general agree to prosecute CIA operatives for doing their job to extract information from terrorist which does nothing but help keep our country safe from another terrorist attack such as 9-11. Usurps power and founds a super interogation group and oppppps, forgets to put anyone in charge. Even the worst of snakes can not bite without a head.
How can anyone even imagine this character managing out health care, he could not even buy a dog in four months. What are we going to do if Osama Bin Laden is arrested tomorrow. Ask him how he wants his lamb done and does he want his tea sweetened with honey or sugar? All of you Cheney haters, if Cheney is responsible for what you call breaking the law by “mistreating” these innocents, is not Osama responsible for the beheading of Amerians?
To firewoman and Global W:
Are you people incable of answering a question? Have you had a button installed so when pushed it automatically spews the same agenda. Try putting your brain into gear before opening your mouth.
Please explain to me why people are so prejudiced against this breed?
I’m a pro dog groomer and have been bitten by many many dogs. Golden Retrievers are a big culprit, collies too, as well as shih tzus, dachshunds, chihuahuas, and sheep dogs…
But never ever ever has a pit bull type breed even growled at me! Ever.
Paws for Life rescued Rocky in May 2009. His owner, who took him in as a puppy, lost his job, then later lost his home to foreclosure. He surrendered Rocky and another dog, as well as two cats, to PFL. Rocky passed his temperament test with flying colors. We were able to easily handle his paws, ears and look at his teeth. He gave up no issues and only wanted to roll over for belly rubs. In foster care, Rocky played with other dogs and spent time with children and people of all ages. Again, no issues with his behavior. Rocky attended numerous adoption events of all kinds. Again, no issues with his behavior. He was a healthy, happy goofball with a loving smile and always-wagging tail.
Rocky moved to a new foster care home in Royal Oak as summer ended. He was a daily jogging partner and constant companion in his new foster home. He again had frequent playdates with dogs of family members and friends. A 3-year-old, neutered male mutt, Rocky had ZERO prior incidents with people and other animals. He loves to play with his toys and romp and run through the yard. He was an affectionate, kind-hearted teddy bear.
On Sunday, October 25, 2009, Rocky was out jogging with his foster care mom in Royal Oak, Michigan. A dog across the street was walking with his owner and a friend of the owner. The owner let his dog off leash and Rocky slipped his collar. The two dogs ran toward each other, met in the middle and began to sniff one another. The other dog growled and a fight ensued. The friend of the owner stuck his hands into the dog fight and was bit on the finger, but no one knows by which dog. The police were called and Rocky was taken away.
Monday morning, Oct. 26, Paws for Life called the Royal Oak police and asked when Rocky would be released. We were told he would be released once they received proof of his rabies vaccine. So we faxed them the rabies certificate. Animal Control Officer Briggs then drove to our foster volunteer’s home without reason to do so. She coerced the volunteer into signing over Rocky, knowing full well from the 8 conversations we had that morning that he was the property of the rescue and the volunteer had no authority to sign anything. And she never would have had she not been threatened with fines, tickets and arrest while officers were standing in her living room. Upon leaving the home, Officer Briggs immediately had Rocky euthanized, even though she did not have the legal right or authority to do so.
We are asking for your support of Rocky and dogs like him. He was given no chance for justice. He was the victim of breed discrimination and hatred. Any other dog breed involved and both owners would have been ticketed and that’s it. Other animal control agencies, rescues and shelters are outraged at how this case and Rocky himself were handled.
Again, Rocky had NO prior incidents. He never attacked or bit anyone or anything. He came from a home with other dogs and cats. He frequently played with other dogs. He attended adoption events without problems. He was a big goofy teddy bear with a silly heartwarming smile and always-wagging tail. He loved children and he loved every person he met. He didn’t deserve this. Please spread the word, share Rocky’s story with everyone you can anyway you can. Call and write letters to Royal Oak and Berkley officials too. They have jurisdiction of Officer Briggs and the incident, which was not handled according to the law. This is a gross abuse of power by Officer Briggs who ignored a STOP order from our attorney, who acted according to her own personal, prejudiced beliefs and outside the law. Regardless of the incident and which dog was at fault, Rocky was given no time to have the situation examined. There was no opportunity for anything. He never had a chance. Other officers and officials have expressed their outrage and shock by the rushed and hurried nature of what they did. Officer Briggs lied to us and deceived us, repeatedly.

I am not affiliated with this rescue in any way. I just live near the city in which this happened and I am upset. I am worried this sets a bad example of how to deal with large and powerful breeds, and things like this.

yesterday evening my neighbor shot my dog with a bow and arrow. We had to have him put down. My dog is/was raised with 2 kids, others dogs and cats. Not to mention all the people we have over all the time. He has never attacked or bitten anyone or anything. My neighbor’s story to the police is that my dog went into his yard while he was doing target practice with the bow. That my dog started growling at his 3 yr old son. That he shot at the dog and had no idea he actually hit him. The bow was going straight through his ribs, one side to the other. It looked to be a pretty well aimed shot. Is it legally ok to use deadly force on an animal for growling? Not lunging forward, not attacking, just alleged growling. The police are handing it over to the states attorney, but if nothing happens we plan on contacting a lawyer.
We do not believe that our dog went over there and just started growling at a little kid for no reason, if at all. The shot taken does not appear to be a self defense shot but a well aimed shot.
Ok, I did some research and then called local animal control. They have the right to protect themselves, property, and whatever. I think I should still consult with a lawyer.
Ok so, An ex of mine and i moved in together in an appartment. He did Pay the deposit for the place and we got all the furniture and everything for the place together. We pretty much went halves on everything. He purchased a dog from the pound which had absolutely chewed up and destroyed everything of mine. My laptop has bite marks my shoes have been destroyed, My bedding along with my childrens bedding. My ex was arrested for domestic violence against me. the judge ordered a 5 day move out and stay away order leaving me with his dog that has destroyed everything. his attorney told me he would be spending 8 years in prison. so i went to the landlord to our appartment to let him know of the change. he then had me sign a paper agreeing to relieve my ex of all financial responsibilities towards our appartment. we have a year lease. so now he won’t be reliable for the broken lease because of his future imprisonment, Well he pleaded incompitant and got it knocked down to a misdimenor and was let out within a week, He is a heavy alcoholic and lives in a sober house he doesnt have kids to worry about or any responsibilities period. he is very manipulative, rude and selfish and out to disrespect and use females I have given him the shirt off my back. I just got served with papers yesterday . he is trying to take everything from me , all down to the dishes, forks and spoons he even had listed. He wont even use any of these things. he would put them in storage while he lives in a furnished rehab. I am a single mommy of 2 kids. WHAT are my rights?. Please help me……Thank you so much
Eight months ago my dog (Wylee) ran out the door as my mailman started walking up. Wylee ran behind him but I don’t believe he was close enough to bite him and the neighbor across the street is adamant that Wylee didn’t bite him. The mailman continued up the walkway with his back to my dog, handed me my mail, THANKED ME, and turned around and walked back to his Jeep. A few minutes later the postmaster knocks on my door and said my dog bit his mail carrier. I said there was no way he had got bitten and stated I wanted to see it. The mailman came back and on his right calf there was a mark but it looked more like a scrape or pinch. I asked why he said nothing at the time and he stated he just wanted to get back to the Jeep. Oh, really?? This guy was calm the whole time. He gave no indication he was bitten and he didnt ”run” back to the Jeep. If you get bit on the back of the leg, there is a sign. Such as you lift your leg, you say ‘ouch’, you spin around or something. You dont keep your back to a dog that just bit you and continue walking, with the same stride and thank the lady! So now I got a letter from an attorney stating he is suing me for what I assume is ‘pain and suffering’. I have renters insurance that will cover this but I don’t want them to pay out for a fraudulant lawsuit. Any ideas on how I can prove he is a liar and that my dog did not bite him?
I didnt retrieve my dog because he stopped in his tracks when i called his name (which happened to be behind the mailman).
Yes, there is a leash law in my city. He did get ”out of my control” But he didnt bite the guy. He should sue me for my dog not being leashed and not a dog bite
I am not faulting him for not ‘re-acting’ to a dog bite…why would he re-act since there was no bite. I do not think he was being ‘professional’, I think he is a liar. Had he turned around and ‘punted the little sh**” there would be little doubt that he had gotten bit. A ‘professional’ would probably mention it to me not thank me. And I commented on his behavior because it was not how I would expect somebody to react.
