A Pit bull named JESUS!


A robber broke into the house of a family just after they had left to go to church one evening. He was rummaging through the upstairs rooms when he heard a voice saying: "Jesus is watching you!"

Fearing the family might have come home early, he snuck downstairs. When he didn't see anyone, he continued looking for valuables. Plundering the silver cabinet, he heard the voice again. This time from right behind him: "Jesus is watching you!"

He threw his arms in the air and turned around with his heart pounding. But there was no one there...Except for a little green parrot in a birdcage.

Relieved, the robber chuckled and said: Hey, birdie! Let me guess! Your name is Jesus."

"Bwak...No," said the bird, "my name is Moses."

"Moses?" the robber wondered. "What kind of weirdos name their bird Moses?"

"Bwak... The same weirdos that named their pitbull 'Jesus'.



And just what kind irreverent person would name a PIT BULL JESUS?


Meet Orlando Romero, a native of El Salvador who now calls Rockville, MD home.

“I used to pray a lot. One of the prayers I had a vision, and God told me to get a pet, and name him Jesus (pronounced Hay-SOOS). And that’s how I got him. And he really did help me a lot.”

So said Mr.Romero, owner of Romero’s Floors, an installation and refinishing operation, of his 120 pound Rottweiler/Pitbull mix named JESUS who went on a rampage that likely produced many more prayers to God!

The dog went through doors (In a way reminding me of Jesus himself removing the stone placed before his grave. Jesus was divine, but surely pitbull/rottweiler mixes have some rather amazing, god-like powers! WOW!) before ripping into his beloved owner's own flesh, inflicting more than $20,000 (thank you tax payers!) in medical bills in wounds to the bone into the arms of his fervently pious owner, who also had known gang affiliations and was wearing an ankle bracelet at the time of his attack. Jesus evaded capture from police for hours, first using a capture pole and even a taser, until the police finally shot the dog.

I'm thinking that perhaps JESUS had really been intended as a gift for his wife and children, as reported in this:


"This deadbeat fathers name is Orlando Romero (aka Orlando Romero Zavala or Orlano Zavala). For 11 years I was married to this man. My abuse started from a week after we got together and STUPID Me, I stayed. I believed all of his lies that he would never do it again. So I married him, had 3 children. Not only was I being abused by this man, he started on my children. He was or maybe still associated with a very bad and dangerous gang. I don't know.

There was not a day that went by that I myself was not beat up, it was constint, then my children. My youngest got it from the time I was pregnant with him until I left. Because of that, he is LEARNING DISABLED among other things. It got so bad from him, he would use guns and knives in the house towards us, that to this day I hypervenalate when balloons pop near me even in front of me. Due to this, we finally managerd to leave in a hurry, only to have to be on the run for 3 years and move 12 times in those 3 years.

Anyways, I am disabled now and I am not allowed to work anymore by doctors orders. I have RSD(a very painfull chronic disabling nerve disorder,)this makes it impossible to walk on my feet longer that 45 min. to an hour. I have a Degenerative disk disororder, 4 cyst in various parts of body, Ostio and Rhumetoid Arthritis and also slipped disk in lower back and neck from an accident. Before this, I was an Asst. Baker at a store.

Since I became disabled, I have had no money to take care of my kids. So of course I need his help. No, that is not going to happen. Everytime court came around, he would quit a job, 2 down to 1 so he would not have to pay much. Even then he would not pay even with a court order. A few years go by, non payment of child support gets higher and higher. From $8,000 behind to $11,000 when this last court hearing came around in 2007. Now 1 year later and the amount is up to $18,000. I have little food, Disability only pays so much and that only pays some of the rent. My straight A student daughter had to get a job part time get little hours just to help out even a little.

He also has 2 other children ages 4 and 3. She left him because he beat on her as well but thank god, not the children this time around. He has not payed her in a few months either. She has a good job but that is not the point.

He has a flooring business under the table, making good money (has no business license nor flooring license), he lives in a $415,000. home (his name with 2 others), has 2 brand new work vans that he bought and a used pick up truck but put in his sisters name to hide and the list goes on. Now he wants to cell that house. Little does he know what I have done (HaHaHa).

Everytime I ask him for money, he does not have it he says. He says, I have not had business or I just payed my bills. Come on we all have bills, but I have the kids that I have to cloth and feed. I have went as far as putting leins on the things that has his name on it. But it has not got me no where. They froze his bank account, now it all goes into his business account and Child Support will not touch it. I think that if it is under the table and he is not paying taxes on it. I think that Child Support should be able to freeze that account to. His license has even been suspended for a long time now but he still drives those vans. Oh, and he is always buying new clothes, jewlery, new furniture, a huge flat screen etc. but still has no money.

This man needs to be put in jail, Im sorry he has been there so much, that I think he likes it there. What now, what more can i do???

My kids have been through hell due to this man, and it is

Lighting Candles for Pit bulls

Get out yer hankie!
I never get over the strong urge to vomit when I see pit bull advocates organize a candlelight vigil for dogs.  They don't seem to care about the victims, not one candle is lit in their memory.  Perhaps a better use of symbolic energy would be for a vigil to promote better fences for pit bulls.  You know, more pit bulls are shot by police for posing a real threat to public safety than have been killed through BSL. 

This vigil has it's own original tear jerking song!  Get out yer hankie!



This is a car window memorial that was created for BAM BAM, a pit bull that mauled a letter carrier. BAM BAM was sent across "the Rainbow Bridge" to "Doggie Heaven" for a higher purpose called "public safety", for expressing his D.N.A. on a postal worker who was delivering mail. 4 feet of chain link is simply not enough to prevent what pit bulls try to do to postal workers on an almost daily basis. Let us all say a little prayer to keep all postal workers safe from pit bulls, that someday, we will pass laws so that will deem four foot chain link fences to be woefully inadequate for keeping pit bulls. No candles were lit for this and the many postal workers who have been injured or killed by dogs, most of them, pit bull types

Lennox the pit bull type mutt has a perpetual vigil in his honor. Candlelight vigils, marches, and even death threats to public officials countless facebook pages and petitions, didn't save him.  There still remain perpetual vigils for this dog, too many and easily found to list.  He now has his own meme, you can purchase some "I am Lennox" merchandise, his martyrdom has been very lucrative for the Anti-BSL cause.

Most people are just too lazy to do any research why this dog was seized in the first place, and to learn that American Bull dog mixes are indeed pit bulls, banned in the United Kingdom.



Then of course, there is DADDY, Mr. Millan's guru pit bull, who passed away of old age.  I have read of candlelight vigils, but alas I have found no images to capture the event.  I love it when a entrepreneur does a real sacrifice.....er..... makes their own big break....finds a marketing opportunity and gleans on the situation, to promote their work.  I think this painting would have looked nicer had it been done on black velvet.

On Monday, January 31, Mr. G was able to present Cesar with the portrait and perform a traditional Maori Haka ceremony that his culture performs to commemorate special, momentous events in life, from welcoming a baby into the world and honoring a person of importance to final respects for the deceased. The haka is a combination of powerful body movements and stomping of the feet accompanied by a rhythymic series of chants and shouts.

Nonetheless, there is this account on Mr. Milan's blog, of a traditional Maori Maka ceremony performed in the pit bull's honor.   I hope they filmed it, and that we will get to see it on an upcoming episode of Dog Whisperer, that's with two "R"s, grrrr.

Here are some more accounts of vigils for pit bulls.  Still none for the victims of them.  I KNOW more animals have been needlessly slain by pit bulls, than will ever be slain via humane euthanasia due to BSL policy.  Build better fences.

The Whores of Babylon




The world of pitbull enthusiasts and advocates has among its throngs, many colorful characters. In 1977, a beauty queen by the name of Joyce Bernann McKinney became a tabliod queen when her abduction and rape of a young Mormon Missionary, called the "Mormon Sex in Chains case", became somewhat of a media frenzy. She skipped bail, and was caught in the U.S. two years later, not serving any time for her "crime". She was later accused of stalking her victim. In 2011, a documentary film was made of the sensational story!

In 2008, she made the news again when she went to Korea to have her "service" pit bull Booger cloned. She is more afraid of the Mormon Church than she is of pit bulls it seems, and spent quite a large sum to have Booger cloned. Now she has a whole litter of Boogers. Ironically, she's highly critical of the Mormon Church, but has no problems with playing God, brought to you by the possibilities of Modern Science, whether it's ethical to go there or not....

In this category, TIA MARIA TORREZ deserves mention. Her shady operation once in California has now been cleft in to two parts like a regenerating two headed monster... now she has a donated facility in New Mexico for the "lifers" and her adoption operation been moved to New Orleans. Her criminal husband, her fascination of all things of an antisocial nature, her known contribution to the delinquency of minors, and her own spawn make her worthy of a robe and a crown, she's the queen! She continues to pimp dogs that are "cat and dog" aggressive, in fact most of them are! For about $200.00 plus the expense of travel ($500.00 - $1,000) you too can adopt one! To hell with the cats and those little dogs, or the children, should any of these dogs "somehow" get out!

"Villalobos May Open Brothel To Cover Costs

L.A. pit bull rescuer may open brothel to cover costs

Woman toys with idea of running Nevada 'cathouse' to pay for rehab of maligned dog breed

By Dana Bartholomew
MEDIANEWS STAFF
Contra Costa Times

A high-desert dog rescuer slated to run a controversial pit bull "academy" for Los Angeles has said she might reopen a *Nevada cathouse to fund her fledgling doghouse.
Tia Torres of Agua Dulce told a Nevada newspaper of plans to restore her defunct bordello property, which burned last week, into a "Garden of Eden-type" brothel.

The owner of Villalobos Pit Bull Rescue says she was joking, but she could easily become the brothel's next madam if money isn't forthcoming.

"If things don't happen soon, I may have to open up a cathouse to take care of my doghouse," said Torres, 47, whose comments had L.A. talk shows buzzing this week.

"Right now, I have a burnt-down piece of desert, so I don't think anything will happen to it in my lifetime."

Torres was supposed to open her first-of-its-kind academy to rehabilitate shelter pit bulls with the help of ex-convicts Aug. 4 at the South Los Angeles shelter.

But the City Council, worried about logistics and potential liability, has tabled the plan for more discussion.

They also questioned whether Animal Services General Manager Ed Boks had performed an end run around the council and civil service rules by hiring eight workers affiliated with Villalobos at a cost of $129,000 for six months.

Boks insisted he "did everything by the book" in developing the pit bull academy.

The former minister, who once drew fire by associating L.A. shelters with a "Hooters for Neuters" bikini contest, also said he was shocked at news that his pit-bull trainer planned to open a brothel in Nevada.

"I find it very difficult to believe," Boks said. "She bought the property that used to be a brothel and was going to transform it into an animal sanctuary."

If she were to become a madam in Nevada, he added, "I'll cross that bridge when it comes."

On Aug. 1, a weekly newspaper based in Fallon, Nev., reported that Torres, owner of the 10-acre bordello property destroyed last week by a mysterious fire, planned to reopen it as a brothel by the end of the year.

The former Salt Wells Villa, 75 miles east of Reno, was for decades a red-light stop for Top Gun airmen and local lawmen.

Thirty years ago, the brothel also lit up when the wife of a local sheriff, upset by her husband's periodic visits, tossed Molotov cocktails at its front door.

When Salt Wells Villa closed three years ago amid financial troubles and permit violations, its 75-year-old madam officially retired.

According to the Lahontan Valley News and Fallon Eagle Standard, Torres bought the property late last year after deciding that a brothel would support her California animal rescue.

She also planned to create a "mini-paradise" with tropical birds and exotic cats.

"Sex sells," the paper quoted Torres as saying. "It's the only industry that never fails in the economy. That's when I got the idea to start a brothel and generate money for my nonprofit."

Marlene Garcia, who wrote the story that became the heated subject of a popular radio show, said Torres was serious.

"She didn't seem like she was kidding to me," she said. "We talked for quite some time."

Torres first opened her heart and home to pit bulls in 1993 after rescuing a shelter dog found at the site of a double murder in Lancaster.

Her Villalobos Pit Bull Rescue is now the largest in the nation, with 200 pit bulls, most of them trained for good homes, therapy animals and Hollywood films.

Her "Pets in the Hood" program employs docile pit bulls to teach compassion and husbandry to children in juvenile hall at Sylmar.

And her practice of working with ex-cons not only helps rehabilitate pit bulls, but also parolees. Of the 20 who have come through Villalobos, none has gone back to prison, she said.

For the past nine years, she said, she has trained pit bulls for adoption at Los Angeles shelters. Pit bulls and pit-bull mixes comprise 25 percent of shelter dogs and 41 percent of all dogs euthanized.

Torres' rescue, however, ran into financial trouble after donations slowed to a trickle after Hurricane Katrina.

She said she never planned to open a brothel in Nevada but instead hoped to open a sanctuary for abused tigers and other exotic pets common to the state.

She said she had only kidded the Nevada paper -- tongue in cheek -- about reopening the Salt Wells Villa.

"I had wanted to make it a Garden of Eden in the desert, a tropical paradise," she said. "A cathouse for my cathouse."

But with all the controversy from critics screaming about the value of making over pit bulls and felons, she said the brothel idea looks better and better.

"It is a double stigma," said Torres, who is married to an ex-convict who did 14 years in prison for attempted murder. "I've got underdogs of both worlds; that's what this is all about.

"You may see Madam Tia next year. This is not the Boy Scouts of America or the Lassie Come Home Rescue.

"This is real."

* Her real life "Garden of Eden" in Nevada was burned down. I think there should be an insurance fraud investigation....

The California woman who owns Salt Wells Villa said Tuesday she is saddened by a fire that destroyed the property she hoped to reopen as a brothel before the end of the year.

Tia Maria Torres said she wants to "create a mini paradise" on the Salt Wells property 15 miles east of Fallon.

"I hope to have small exotic cats and tropical birds. It will be very relaxing and very simplistic," Torres said about her plans to rebuild a brothel in Churchill County.

She purchased the property late last year after deciding that owning and operating a brothel would earn income to support her non-profit animal rescue foundation in Southern California.

Torres had already approached county officials to learn the necessary steps to re-open Salt Wells, which closed down in 2004 amid financial troubles and code violations.

"I want to continue on with its legacy but create a different flair," the Agua Dulce, Calif., woman said. "I'm a small-town girl and I want to create a Garden of Eden-type atmosphere."

Torres was notified of the Sunday morning fire that completely destroyed buildings which housed the bar, living quarters and rooms where the prostitutes took customers.

"Now I know how people feel when they come home and find their house has been robbed," she said about the news of the fire. "I feel so violated. It feels horrible. I'm devastated but am more devastated for the local people."

Torres, 47, said now that the buildings have been reduced to charred rubble, she doesn't know if that will make it easier or harder to gain county approval to open a brothel.

"I'm at their mercy," she said.

Agua Dulce is smaller than Fallon, Torres said, and she fell in love with Churchill County on previous visits.

"I love all the ranches. Nevada has always been the other state I wanted to live in. I'm a free-spirited person and Nevada is a free-spirited state," said Torres.

She decided to get into the brothel business after seeing friends in the adult entertainment business continue to prosper despite national economic setbacks.

"Sex sells. It's the only industry that never fails in the economy. That's when I got the idea to start a brothel and generate money for my non-profit," she said.

She plans to survey the damage next week.

"I'll come out and sit on the dirt and cry," Torres said.

The Martyrs of the Cause


The pit bull advocacy is so much like a religion, it even has it's own cast of "Holy Martyrs" for the cause. Just to own a pit bull takes a real leap of faith. Just take a look at the definition of Martyr....A martyr (Greek: μάρτυς, mártys, "witness"; stem μάρτυρ-, mártyr-) is somebody who suffers PERSECUTION and DEATH for refusing to renounce, or accept, a belief or cause, usually religious. Consider the archetype of the Martyrs, HEROS who commit themselves to the cause, who face OPPOSITION (those who value public safety, called "haters" or "pitlers" by the pit bull and despite the RISK, shows COURAGE by ignoring the risks. They are KILLED by the opposition (or in this case, by the pit bull), and then the death is COMMEMORATED or CELEBRATED (in the pit bulls case, by a candlelight vigil or by donations...tithing...to the cause.)





Darla Napora, is the epitome of this kind of martyr. The irony that she was an avid supporter of a pitbull advocacy known as BADRAP, and killed along with the fruit of her womb, by her own dog, Gunner. Pit bull advocates started rumors that her husband Greg had actually killed her, along with the myth that she must have fallen from a ladder, and the dog must have gotten carried away by trying to "wake her up". In the end, absolved of his guilt by a priest, Greg decided that Darla and the cremated remains of her murderer would join the holy union of eternal rest. Lux Aeterna, Mater de Canis de Cavus.

http://blog.dogsbite.org/2011/08/2011-fatality-pregnant-pacifica-woman.html


Speaking of Saints, the pit bull community grabbed the suicide of a struggling actor named Nick Santino, to promote "awareness" of the harassment of pit bull owners. Nick's dog Rocco was allowed to live in a N.Y.C. apartment building, even grandfathered in, but apparently Nick didn't think of moving to another apartment building, giving the dog up, and resorted to euthanize the dog. According to some reports, the dog had recently begun to show signs of aggression, maybe the reason that management of the apartment building banned him from using the elevator. Who wants to ride in an elevator with an aggressive pit bull! Overcome with grief, Nick overdosed on pills and left a note stating,

“Today I betrayed my best friend. Rocco trusted me and I failed him. He didn’t deserve this.”

For the pit bull advocacy, Nick's suicide inspired candle light vigils and was used to promote an anti-BSL agenda. Saint Nick and Rocco were both cremated and their ashes shall be unified for eternity. Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Then there's poor Lennox, an American Bulldog/Labrador cross, who was seized by the Belfast City Council and a judge declared that he be euthanized because the dog looked like a pit bull (they are absolutely right to do this, American Bulldogs ARE pit bull types of dogs, banned in Ireland.). The dog's owners chose to ignore the law, and have made their dog the poster child of international BSL. Lennox has a perpetual vigil on Facebook in his honor, likely many thousands of dollars have been raised for his cause, but not a penny contributed to pit bull victims. Lennox's life seems to have been preordained, a destiny, if you will. In truth, this dog was the innocent, but the city council was demonized for upholding their policy instead of the owners of the dog, who ignored the law. In my town, you can't keep a goat within city limits. I haven't heard of a goat mauling in quite a while. Ironic, when you consider that Satan himself is often portrayed as a goat. Kýrie, eléison

The First Church of Pit Bulls


Spend anytime engaged in the polite art of raillery with a pit bull enthusiast, and soon you will notice a kind of zealotry that can only be compared to the fervor of a born-again or convert to a new religion. Of course, most of the time, pit bull enthusiasts and advocates have real difficultly engaging in civil discourse, refraining from profanity, and display psychosis at the mere mention of the words "dangerous" and "pit bulls". At the end of the debate, discounting numbers and science, and how their personal anecdotal experience outweighs your one (or more) bloody pit bull encounter, all they have left to offer is the the claim that pit bulls are "God's creatures" and that you are a heartless person if you don't like them, you must not love dogs, or animals, or even God, because they are here for a reason. It's pointless to argue about the difference between natural selection and selective breeding, that it is a human's prerogative to have differing aesthetic values, and that "God" created fleas, escherichia coli, and all kinds of calamity... and only God knows the reason. I have been taught there is a reason for everything, and that every disaster is just an opportunity to grow as a human. My pit bull disasters have convinced me that something needs to be done in my community, and I'm on fire. That makes me a zealot of sort, too.

Pit bulls (a type of dog, not a breed) are dangerous dogs, more so than most breeds. They currently maim and kill people at higher rates than almost all of the other breeds combined, and countless pets and livestock, which is a sad fact that is not reported, nor does there seem to be any real attempt at keeping records of it. But the real danger is the mindset and attitudes of people who chose to keep these dogs as pets, who claim that they are "just" dogs. These poor dogs are very misunderstood, but mostly by their owners. It puts the rest of us at risk. I don't think that a walk about the neighborhood should be a walk of faith with a can of pepper spray and a knife, and I find it to be equally repugnant that a pit bull advocate would just write off another report of a dog attack as if it were some kind of "act of God"...one of those things, so just "get over it".

This blog shall be a collection of items and posts from the *Pitbull Tribe of Facebook, an Anthropological Study, and any other "artifacts" that show a kind of zealotry, idolization, and martyrdom of the pit bull. It shall also include some blatant parody of the zealotry of this very curious group, people who call themselves advocates but don't appear to have a shred of empathy or concern for humans and their animal companions, unless, of course, they happen to be the sacred cow...the pit bull.

*forthcoming!
