Dogsbite dot org = anti pit bull propaganda.....

Sending a Message

“This city council caved to the 1% who own pit bull type dogs in the U.S. and who could care about public safety. These are elected officials that are supposed to have the best interests, of the people they serve, at heart. Instead they are raising the importance of pit bull type dogs above that of their constituents.”-Julie Wall Volunteer at DogsBite.org

Despite the emails from Colleen Lynn, despite the emails typed by Jeff Borchardt, despite the attempts to influence the counsel from Carol Miller (Yet, another Dogsbite.org Board Member), despite the call for a flooding of emails, letters and harassing phone calls, Shaker Heights Ohio sent a clear message to BSL Advocates…

All but 2 counsel members voted AGAINST breed specific legislation, shutting the door in the face of out of state BSL advocacy groups that are attempting to force their unwelcomed views on communities.

After five public hearings over four months for three readings on a proposed pit bull ban, City Council voted it down 5-2 on Tuesday.-Thomas Jewell, Cleveland.com

Armed with the usual out of date and inaccurate statistics provided by disgraced and debunked statistical failure Merritt Clifton, BSL Advocates went to bed the night before satisfied that this vote would be an epic and monumental win for them and it was anything but that.

“And I don’t want to see us join the remaining list of communities” that still have the breed-specific ban, Zimmerman said, mentioning Garfield Heights, Lakewood, Parma, and Warrensville Heights.

Zimmerman is absolutely right, more communities are turning away from breed specific legislation in favor for an all breed legislation. Placing the responsibility on owners of dogs which is exactly were it should be. Irresponsible dog ownership is not breed specific and this is what communities are telling BSL advocates and it’s a message they don’t want to hear.

According to Lori Whelbourne, “If all pit bull type dogs were included in their ban, Matthew Brigmantas may be alive today.”, however, if she was being honest in her recent post in the Province, she would have stated exactly what the “pit bull type dog” was exactly, Shar Pei/Fila mix with known aggression issues and that had a history  of biting other people.  Breed Specific Legislation and/or bans have not prevented one dog attack or dog bite fatality, even concerning those dogs that fall under bans. Why is that? Because BSL/Bans only really affect law abiding citizens, which is the majority of all pit bull “type” owners

The death of Javon Dade Jr. shows just how ineffective bans are, once again showing that breed specific legislation has absolutely no affect on those that are purposefully breaking the law in the first place. Criminals, dog fighters and back yard breeders will not be affected by BSL/Bans, if anything, BSL/Bans will flood the streets with off springs’ of unethical back yard breeders with unstable temperament.

“The only thing that ban did was increase the value of (pit bulls) from $1,000 to $5,000.”– Gary White, Former dog fighter 2013

We can look across the ocean to see yet another example of how ineffective pit bull bans are when we look at the sky rocketing dog attacks in the UK and in 2010, “Toronto itself backed up the claim that BSL doesn’t  reduce dog bites when in May 2010, the Toronto Humane Society released statistics from a survey they conducted which showed that “the number of dog bites in Ontario had changed little” since Ontario’s 2005 ban on “pit bull” “breeds” was instituted (nopitbullbans.com).”

Contrary to the myths told by the pit bull lobby, it is less expensive than what taxpayers pay out when attacks happen. In addition to that, lives are saved and severe injuries are prevented- Lori Whelbourne, Dogsbite.org member, Blogger for the Province

Not one single life has been saved and not one severe injury has been prevented due to BSL. In fact, it shows just the amount of damage yet another breed can do when it attacks.  According to many cities, BSL is not cost effective, in fact, the price tag for enforcing BSL is rising every year.

The Prince George’s County task force findings are typical of findings in many other locations.

• In 2001, a Baltimore, Maryland, auditor estimated it would cost $750,000 to enforce a breed-specific ban.
• In 2008, Omaha proposed BSL that would cost over half a million dollars to enforce.
• The U.K.’s Dangerous Dog Act, which includes a ban on certain breeds of dogs, is estimated to have cost well over $14 million to enforce between the years 1991 and 1996 (no more recent numbers are available). It has come under fire lately as dog bites (committed by non-targeted dogs) rise despite the ban.
• Even small cities and communities can spend tens of thousands of dollars annually to uphold their BSL- StopBSL.org

Although the battle will rage on, Shaker Heights is just another community that turned a deaf ear to the fear and hate propaganda being offered to them by BSL advocates and decided to work this as a community. They won’t be alone this year and many communities will be working towards throwing out the outdated breed specific laws and start focusing on laws that will actually help communities become safer just like many did in 2015.

Scribbles, Quotes & Cognitive Musing - "Recruiting the Broken", exposing anti pit bull activist tactics.....

PUBLISHED ON January 25, 2016

Recruitment 

It has begun. While the BSL Advocacy is divided, Jeff Borchardt and Dennis Baker have publically reached out to Alexandria Shalaya Griffin-Heady (the owner of the 3 dogs and the sister of the 9 year old boy killed by her 3 dogs.) with the usual deception of having a safe and blame free haven for her within their advocacy.

It hasn’t been a secret how divided the BSL advocacy is over this controversial move.  Many well-known members have publically supported the very idea of the new prospective member to be tossed in jail and have the key thrown away.

“She appears to have learned nothing. Throw the book at her as an example to others.”- Bill Hyslop

“ Aleksandra is now officially blaming her dead brother. Claiming that he was abusive to dogs. Sure, children can be abusive and that is not good, but if he stayed alone with three poodles, or three birds, for example, he would be still alive. That is what pit bulls people do, blaming everyone except themselves. She is blocked by me, I hope, she will be jailed to serve as example, at least.”-Serafima Yan

“Proof enough those were fake tears for the camera when she said she’d “suffered enough.”-Aaron Wood

It’s sad watching the BSL advocacy whisper their lies and false promises.

“People will listen to you because they are you….”

No, people will not listen to her, just like they don’t listen to the disgraced babysitter Susie Iwicki. What people will question is, why is the BSL Advocacy calling for someone who left their 9 year old brother (who, according to Alexandria, was known to behave irresponsibly around the dogs..) alone in a traveling trailer to talk to our communities about responsible dog ownership?

Simple Steps

“ You have a oppertunity to save others from the samepropaganda that killed Tyler.”- Dennis Baker

Exactly how does she have the “oppertunity” to save others? Exactly how did propaganda kill Tyler?  Dennis is showing just how easy the BSL Advocacy makes it so appealing for irresponsible dog owners to join their cause. It’s all about passing the blame and erasing personal responsibility. It wasn’t Alexandria that kept 3 unaltered dogs in a small travel trailer? Was it a group of random strangers…? It wasn’t Alexandria that allegedly knew that her brother behaved inappropriately with the dogs and STILL left him alone with 3 much larger dogs?  Who did if not her? What propaganda killed Tyler? Absolutely none. Alexandria, her dogs and CPS killed that child and that is what the BSL advocacy wants the public to ignore.

If You Accept

“ Alexandria Shalaya Griffin-Heady, my son was also killed by pit bulls in 2013. I would like to speak with you over the phone sometime if you’re willing? I promise to remain civil with you. The death of your brother has caused a great deal of division within our advocacy. 

I’m going to send you a friend request. If you accept, we will take this conversation offline. If you deny, I will completely understand and won’t bother you further.”- Jeff D. Borchardt

It’s interesting watching the founder of Daxton’s Friends, Dogsbite.org Poster Child and well known cyber stalker Jeff Borchardt lie through his crooked teeth.  He promises to stay civil…. until she either accepts his invite and becomes a vocal BSL Advocate and does EXACTLY what he and Colleen says or…. she doesn’t and then he will rip her to shreds and feed her to the frenzy of extremists circling her in the water.

Of course she won’t be alone within that movement. She will be right next to Susie Iwicki, both women responsible for the death of a child in their care involving irresponsible dog ownership. Look how well she made out, she gets thrown under the bus when it helps the advocacy yet is also the voice of wisdom within the advocacy. She even became a board member of the non profit after the child she was responsible for died under her watch.

Borchardt can promise that Alexandria will be just like Susie… if she just accepts.

The Price is Right

I have no clue what she will chose, but I really think it should be the last thing on her mind, especially considering the Sheriff is recommending criminal charges.  The fact that everything she types on Facebook can and will be used against her and not just in the criminal court system but also in the public eye.  How will the public respond to her attempting to shake off all personal responsibility in the death of her brother, a 9 year old child? How will she be able to stand in front of a jury and attempt to blame “the propaganda machine” while she openly admits to knowing her brother acted in a way that SHE PERSONALLY FELT was unsafe around the dogs and STILL left him with them?

“Alexandria, you have more support than you know. There are thousands of heartbroken people that have had their lives shattered because of pit bull attacks – many of them were their own beloved pets. Tons of these brave people are doing whatever they can to raise awareness so all this needless pain and suffering will stop. There’s nothing that can bring Tyler back, but lives can be saved by sharing with the world what you now know. You and Tyler can join us in trying to save others from such horrendous tragedy- Lori Whelbourne

” So advocate against pit bull and have them banned or put down? I’m am not trying to be rude. I am just asking”-Alexandria Shalaya Griffin-Heady

Sign Your Life Away

Whatever she decides to do, she will eventually have to deal with.  Now that she is messaging Borchardt, it will interesting to see if she morphs into  another self proclaimed “victim” under the care of the BSL experts if she decides to go that route. However, you can’t help but wonder how the whole BSL advocacy will feel about having to refer to her as “victim”, especially when the majority of the movement have called her everything but a victim. What does this mean for the BSL Advocacy? Yet another example of them excusing negligence and denying justice all because they think this voice will help them pass BSL laws?

At the end of the day, Borchardt and his fellow BSL advocates can make all of the empty promises they want to Alexandria. They can make her feel that she wasn’t responsible for her own actions but what the courts can do can be just the opposite. Will Borchardt be mailing her flyers if she does go to prison? Will Dennis Baker and Colleen Lynn put money on her books if she goes up the river? Will Lori Welbourne and Mia Johnson fly from Canada and visit her on visiting days? Doubt it, but what is for sure is that no matter what happens to Alexandria, the BSL advocacy will use and abuse her and toss her away when they have used her all up.

The true irony is her dogs weren't even "pit bulls".....
