Pit bull amnesty convinces some owners to abide by ban
August 13, 2006
Advertisement
KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Animal control officials said 149 illegal pit bulls have been turned in or confiscated in the two weeks since the city increased its enforcement of a ban on the breed.
Mayor Joe Reardon announced July 28 that the city would temporarily waive penalties against people who turned over their pit bulls, which are illegal within city limits. The day before, a pit bull attacked 71-year-old Jimmie Mae McConnell, who later died.
The amnesty period ends today. More than two-thirds of the dogs were turned over in the first week, and animal control officials said the pace has slowed to what it was before the amnesty period.
"It's tapered off to the point where it's more manageable without all the extra resources," said Capt. Henry Horn, commander of the police department's animal control unit.
Horn said Friday that the amnesty program had successfully persuaded as many pit bull owners as possible to turn over their dogs to authorities, rather than dumping them in parks or other public places.
He also said he believes his unit has the resources to continue enforcing the city's ban.
While those who voluntarily turned in their dogs didn't get cited for violating the ban, owners who were identified through a telephone hot line were cited if officials could determine they owned a pit bull.
Some of the dogs have been sent to shelters for adoption, but many have been euthanized. That has attracted the anger of animal welfare groups and organizations that advocate on behalf of pit bulls, who criticize the city for not simply going after irresponsible owners.
The Mayor's Animal Control Task Force has also criticized the city for ignoring recommendations it made 18 months ago to improve the animal control division, questioning how the city could afford to enforce the law now.

All dogs are potentially dangerous. The problem is, some dogs are capable of killing you. Pit Bulls, Rotwiellers…even Airedales, which I adore.
The problem seems rapant, especially in the KC area, mostly due to owners that have no responsibility.
I wish there was a way to make owners of all dogs legally responsible for the dogs actions. If a dog kills a person, then that owner should do the time for manslaughter.
Then mabye,even Marion would turn in that pitbull in for a little weiner dog.

It is unthinkable that these 'officials' actually expect people to 'turn in' their pets to be put to death.
What is even more shocking to me is that people are actually complying, what a gutless lot they are.
This is an act of tyranny by the City and should be met in kind.

I wish you the best of luck. Taking a person's dog is evil in action.
I would hope that somewhere along the way, and BEFORE enacting such totalitarian laws, they've consulted Animal Control people, vets, or other experts in animal behavior and learnt that there are no intrinsically 'bad' dogs.
They could read journals, talk to 50 veterinarians or whatever it takes to get a clear, objective picture of what they're really doing. Clearly they do not or they just don't care.
Luna looks quite harmless, I hope you get her back.

Two comments:
1) I see enforcer is still jumping on Marion's band wagon as usual. No surprise.
2) I support this ban, although I think it will lead to even more inbreeding of the breed. I don't know how anyone can argue that they attack more than other dogs. Not going to get into it. Just my opinion. I don't like the idea of killing dogs, but like the idea of fewer pit bulls on the street. And you drama queens don't need to worry that they will eventually move on to even your little chihuahua. It won't fall out that way. Get real.

1. “I don't know how anyone can argue that they attack more than other dogs.”
2. “I don't like the idea of killing dogs, but like the idea of fewer pit bulls on the street.”

How do you reconcile these two statements? Does this mean that you would also support fewer Beagles, Welsh Corgis and Boston Terriers on the streets?
We do have a (harmless) big scary-looking dog and this is an issue that could effect me and my dog.
So much for the validity of your opinion.

BrianR-
I like dogs thanks. Almost all of them. I don't have to reconcile my statements. No reconciliation required my friend. Your comment makes no sense. They are coming after pit bulls because pit bulls maul and kill people more than other breeds. So, don't buy one.

Marion-I applaud you for helping a friend out in need and I won't comment on her dog because I don't know the story.
What I will say is that animals need to be considered for safety reasons no matter what kind they are. Just because they are dogs, man's best friend, doesn't mean they should still be pets if they are dangerous. It's funny how people get wrapped in defending their own civil rights and ignore other's rights. They have a right to own pit bulls until it infringes on other's rights to safety and not having their face mauled off and disfigured or even killed. Kind of like the smoking ban.
You choose to do something that infringes on someone elses rights, you get restricted. Boom, can't smoke in the restuarant. Your dog infringes on my family's safety and lives, you can't own it next door to me, my kids school, my business, etc. Doesn't mean you can't smoke anywhere else you want and it doesn't mean you can't buy any other type of dog. Just restricted.
Maybe people need to start considering others before they take certain actions and they won't be disappointed later.

This is from Beatrice's post of last night in regards to Maniac…
“Marion, was one of your failed business adventures gasket manufacturing? I'm guessing that is why you now have a seemingly endless supply of gaskets, as you seem to blow one or two just about every day. Most of us can't afford to replace them that often.
Chill out already and realize that we are simply sharing our thoughts here in this modern means of conversation — kind of like being electronic pen pals with strangers. We are not here to SCREAM at one another in a completely immature manner when we don't like what someone else writes.
Besides, I can't help but to think of Woody Allen's response to someone quoting Marshall McLuhan in “Annie Hall.” Plus, McLuhan published this about 40 years ago, so it isn't like you are saying anything new. And to be yelling it? Geez. Get over yourself already.”

I remember mentioning a month or so ago that empty barrels make the loudest noise. Hence the constant yapping from Marion's corner of the yard.
rightthinker referred to the “breed down in the heart of KCK that should be on that list.” Please let me know how else to interpret that. And then explain how you agreeing with him and providing further justification for the elimination of this “breed” is not racist. What frightens me is that people like you masquerade as upstanding members of society. You could be my neighbour. Ick!

I applaud the efforts of KC officials to remove dangerous pit bulls from residential areas where they are not properly enclosed, caged, maintained etc. If the owners of these dogs are not going to take proper care and responsibility of that property, then they forfeit their rights to said property. “Rights” and “responsibility” go hand-in-hand.
Here's another interesting aspect of all this. This isn't government; this is business.

In the community where I live, it is illegal to own a pit bull, Staffordshire terrier, or other related breeds. When I see one of these dogs, I whip out the cell phone and call it in.

Marion writes:
I did not write that post about “black people”.
Further the term “breed” used in connection with specific groups or individuals falls well within the guidelines of acceptable use of the language without any “racist” implications.
*******************************************
I'm totally not buying that truckload of shiz you just dropped, Marion. Please point us in the direction of where we can find this list of acceptable uses of language.
I don't think the ghetto cruiser referenence was the primary offense. I, myself, don't believe that has racial connotations to it, but rather speaks of certain styles of cars as you describe. I think the reference to breed was the offender, and rightly so. I see an undercurrent in your postings that lead me to believe the intent of your comment was out of line, especially when you turn right around and throw down some wanna-be ebonics type words.

I see it now~~~~~~~goes into dream sequence-
Marion and enforcer driving through the Merc parking lot in their respective ghetto cruisers. Marion has a picture of himself strapped into the passenger seat and an “RCT” magnet on the side of the doors. enforcer has a blow up passenger strapped into her front seat to ward off attackers since she can't take care of herself, and a big mean dog in the back seat trying drooling over the sight of the elderly woman in the next car.
Next thing, smacko!!!!!! What a surprise they crash into each other! Marion says, “Oh, my back”! enforcer says, “Oh, my head”! $$$$ flows in from insurance. Marion spends his paying people to read his website and enforcer buys another dog and some more lube.

enforcer: You truly are an idiot. The voice of the poems you just cut and pasted are meant to embody the black experience through the voice of people who have lived it. These authors aren't promoting any type of stereotype or stating it is okay but telling a story of the black experience. Something you obviously don't know too much about. You have totally misinterpreted the meaning of these poems. Further more, perhaps you should spend some time learning how to spell Maya Angelou. At least then you would be able to find her books in the library.

Enforcer: It seems whenever someone calls you out for misusing a word, stating a source that does not exist or spewing crap disguised as facts, your answer is always an insult followed by instructions for the person to do the research themselves. My recommendation, find a new tactic because every time you do this, we all know you are being untrue and/or have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
And Marion, no matter what you try to say to the contrary, your comments paired with those of rightthinker were racist. And quite sad.
That said, I am sad KCK is euthanizing dogs.

Oh BTW….since the topic is about banning pitbulls….I will add my opinion. I owned a pitbull many years ago and though I agree with what was said about owners taking responsibility, I do believe that that breed of dog was bred to attack and it is an inherent trait they all have. Therefore unless the community consist of only consenting adults…I feel it is in the best interest of children residing in any given community, that pitbulls be BANNED.

enforcer - a holocaust is the mass murder of humans by other humas. Examples of this are the Jewish Holocaust during WWII or the Cambodian Holocaust in the late 70's and early 80's.
Comparing the ban of Pitbulls, a dog proven by empirical evidence to be unusually dangerous to humans (and other dogs), to the holocaust is laughable as well as an insult to those who have survived one.

The justified and humane euthanizing of 100 dogs is nothing close to a holocaust. A holocaust is an “unjust massive slaughter”. Here we have a just and limited control procedure occurring.
As for your dog, even if it isn't mean I worry about the competency of the owner. And isn't that what you say causes bad dog behaviour?

Well, I agree that they will find other dogs to fight. But, if we are putting the blame on the owners here, we can see that some owners aren't responsible enough to handle these pets and train them correctly. No matter the source there are mean dogs on the street. Since we can't go door-to-door with a questionnaire and ask people if they will be good dog owners before they buy a pit bull, the only option is to ban them all together. Sucks for those people who already own them, but still the best alternative.
In conjunction with the ban their needs to be heavier punishment for dog fighting and stricter laws regarding the containment and actions of your pets. The ban by itself is not the answer.
The bottom line is that human life is more important than that of a few dogs.

No, it isn't people that it's being done to this time. But any society that will do this kind of thing to animals could possibly do it to humans. Just as anybody that will abuse an animal will also abuse people.

I'm not saying I like it, and I'm not saying it's pretty. I was pointing out to enforcer that her use of the holocaust was incorrect. Mainly because this isn't “massive” killing. It is by no means massive and therefore does not fit the description of holocaust. That was my point. Not just vs. unjust. Not wrong vs. right?

This is the part of your post that I find disagreeable. I fail to see how euthanizing any dog that has never harmed anyone can be “justified” at all. They are only doing this because the dogs just happen to be of a particular breed, not because they have done anything.
A just and limited control procedure? What exactly is so just about it?
If KC was the only place this was occuring, it would be bad enough. But it's not. There are other communities across the country that are doing the same thing.

Marion, you know angelfire's a vanity site, right? Like geocities? That site expresses the opinions of one person, maybe a small group, but it by no means 'speaks for' a large population of European dog owners.
Basically, that's just some guy's website who has appropriated the phrase 'dog holocaust' to describe something he personally objects to. Maybe he's found some media references to the phrase, or maybe it's what all his friends call it, or maybe he's the anti-dog-holocaust militia, but your implication that this is how 'European dog owners' view it is ridiculous, unless you have some references (besides more vanity sites) that indicate the phrase is in wide use in Europe.
That link is no better a reference than

omb - the question about China is a good one. What about the destruction of thousands of dogs in a fit of mass hysteria? If the killing of dozens of dogs is a 'massive slaughter' or a 'dog holocaust', then what on earth do you call what happened there?

I believe that you are in the realm of ridiculousness swbsow…. I mean killing off innocent animals; because of the actions of another? Sounds pretty ridiculous to me! Follow me if you will, and try to keep up:
So, if a family has say 5 children, and one of them should hypothetically murder someone….. would you go and punish or kill the other family members????????????
I thought NOT!
Now then, are dogs not members of the animal kingdom? Same as people?
I thought SO!
So, how can ANY of you people apply any logical rationale for what is happening to these dogs?
If a person kills a K-9 officer of the law, then that person goes to JAIL for Murder!!!! How is killing another dog any different?????
If a dog has an issue, then take that up with the dog, and its respective caretaker! If not, then how about offering some obedience classes for pet and owner!
How about some constructive solutions sometime!?!?!
All you guys are doing is beating each other up! Might be fun, but you aren't accomplishing s**t for either side.
Have you all gone completely mental?
No offense intended to anyone posting here, but can anyone honestly say that THEY, themselves are ready to look into 150+ dogs' eyes, and put them to sleep????

Pit bulls have earned their bad reputation
The Virginian-Pilot
© October 6, 2005
“…A spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told me Monday that about 12 people a year die in the United States as the result of dog bites. Let's do the math, shall we? We know of four killed by pit bulls so far. If there are a dozen fatalities by the end of the year, it will mean at least one-third were caused by pit bulls.
Just a coincidence? Nope. Year after year pit bulls and Rottweilers are responsible for most of the fatal dog bites in this country….”
