About Me

I have had this horrible feeling eating at me for the past several weeks . It all started one day when I was at the Michigan Humane Society in Westland . I was in the main lobby when I heard some one crying loudly . Out of curiosity I listened in on the conversation . A lady was crying because she had been evicted and had no where to take her dog . After losing her house she decided her pet should not suffer and have to struggle as she was going to be . Doing what she thought was the right thing , she brought the dog to the Michigan Humane Society in Westland . Only to be told " Sorry but we have to put pit bulls to sleep immediately . " She continued to tell them it was the sweetest dog ever and asked if they could just give her baby a chance . The answer ..... "NO". She then asked " is there anywhere I can take him ? The answer .... "NO" . I did some research and I even called the Michigan Humane Society to find out that they have 3 shelters in their organization Westland , Rochester and Detroit . Yes that's right the Animal Cops Detroit you may have seen on TV euthanizes all pit bulls . So the pit bulls you see the cruelty team rescue are held until the court hearing like evidence then euthanized if the owner is denied having their pit returned to them . From newborn to adult no pit bull is given a chance at this " HUMANE " organization . Many other shelters in the area are the same as I found from calling a few . So how humane are you if you KILL a dog just because of its breed

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Michigan Humane Society's Mission: To end companion animal homelessness, to provide the highest quality service and compassion to the animals entrusted to our care, and to be a leader in promoting humane values.This was copied word for word from their web page . Hmm ... lets disect this . "To end companion animal homelessness" ( well if a pit bull is dead I suppose its not homeless ) "to provide the highest quality service and compassion to the animals entrusted to our care" ( highest quality service for a pit bull = euthanasia , COMPASSION where is the compassion in killing an animal only because of its breed . ) "to be a leader in promoting humane values" ( humane values , what values its not been proven that all pit bulls ae dangerous not even the majority , any animal can be dangerous . --------------------------------------------------------Dog Bite Statistics are unreliable sources of information regarding the "viciousness" or dangerousness of breeds for the following reasons:1) Very few people can accurately identify dog breeds.2) Breeds are not listed individually, but rather under group headings. For instance, under the heading "pit bull", you will find no less than 3 distinct breeds, mixes of any of those three breeds, any dog that appears to be one of those breeds, plus any misidentified dogs. And make no mistake, dogs get misidentified all the time. There is a case of an Akita attack that was reported as a "pit bull attack" in the media. This author's dogs have been mistaken for Boxers, Bulldogs, and yes, one was even mistaken for an Akita. Just about any Pit Bull owner can tell you of many cases where their dog has dealt with a case of mistaken identity.

Back again and angry about things as usual. My bestfriend had to surrender his dog a couple weeks ago because the area he was moving to did not allow "Aggressive Breeds". This list includes but not li...
