rampant discrimination

is there any thing more verboten than racial profiling, hate crimes or good old discrimination these days? apparently this does not apply to pit bulls. last week in sunny vancouver an innocent PIT BULL WAS MURDERED. the interesting thing about this incident was the public reaction. initial media reports heralded the murderer as a hero, defending his little yapper from a blood thirsty pit bull. after the initial hysteria died down and the facts came out the pit bull was not quite the villain she had been portrayed as being. the 72 year old man who did the dirty deed now looks like a bloodthirsty lunatic, but the pit bull is still dead.

the pit bull was being walked by a young lady and was on a leash when the old man's little yapper approached off leash. judge judy wouldn't need any additional information before screaming, put your little yapper on a leash!!! the question i have to ask myself is, would the bloodthirsty old lunatic have attacked the pit bull with his knife if it was being walked by an adult male? or was he just crazy old fucking coward trying to be hero who would shit himself if an adult male stepped in? and of course i have to ask myself, what would i have done if the roo was stabbed by an old man. i suspect the old man would have been kicked in the head pretty fucking hard while he was murdering the innocent beast.

this actually happens to me quite frequently when walking the roo. i don't mean some nut trying to stab her but some fucking idiot letting his/her little yapper run free and get too close to ruby. a while back i almost came to blows with 2 men who were obviously in love and would not put their little yapper on a leash when it kept running at and barking at ruby who of course responded in kind but was on a leash so your's truly had to control a powerful dog. once again, my excellent command of f-bombs proved very useful and the two lovers were peeved. so it goes.

for poor old pandora.

i love you sons of bitches.

Your f-bomb skills seem to get you out of all sorts of scraps.

Not sure what to say about the pit bull discrimination, except to note that prejudice is built on anecdotes.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that you were capable of restraining Ruby, but the roommate couldn't keep Pandora in a box.

Gorilla Bananas said...

Strange that these little yappers want to confront much bigger dogs. Is it possible to train a dog not to go crazy when it sees another dog in the street?

".......after the initial hysteria died down....."

Wonderful choice of phrasal verb.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - of course there is always the other side of the coin, my f-bomb skills have occasionally backfired and i've had to rely on my running skills.

gb - in ruby's case no, i don't think it's possible to stop her from going crazy when another dog barks or growls at her due to the abuse she suffered before we adopted her.

aquairan - thanks! i've been waiting for just the right moment to display my excellent command of phrasal verbs.

(tex and farmer giles can't use phrasal verbs for sour apples.)

BBC said...

The pug's 72-year-old owner pulled out a folding knife he was carrying and stabbed the pit bull, killing it.

Hum, I wonder if it had a locking blade. I carry a pocket knife at all times but the blades don't lock so I'm damn if I would use it for stabbing, the blade could fold back on my fingers.

Not sure what I would do, start kicking I guess being as I always forget to take my pepper spray.

Or start shooting if I'm packing a gun.

billy pilgrim said...

i have a few folding knives that lock and it takes a little doing to open them. i think this guy had his knife ready and was looking for trouble.

part of me would really like to run into him and have a little chat.

The Tutor doesn't carry a knife - locking blade or not. Nor does he pack heat or 'kick' things. He has his own special solution for dealing with pesky dogs.

Pembroke is a great place, Innit?

Leslie said...

What a terrible story.

Anonymous said...

I wasn't complimenting your acumen or command of the general use of phrasal verbs, ya fucking retard, I was impressed with the particular phrasal verb you chose to use.
It contains the word 'died'! That 'concept' is commensurate with the content of the post.




Fucking moron!

billy pilgrim said...

does that mean i'm sent to the back of the class with tex and farmer giles?

Anonymous said...

No.
Those two are filthy reprobates, but possess a few socially redeeming qualities. Your punishment includes holding the spittle-drenched mouth guards for a two day Leslie and BBC mud-wrestling cage match at next years Big Hole gun-fest.

billy pilgrim said...

the king doesn't need a mouth guard, no teeth.

i picked up a lovely bag of fish this afternoon so i'm at peace with the world right now and will happily be the king's second.

billy pilgrim said...

but i'm gonna be pretty fucking depressed if harper wins those by-elections tonight!

BBC said...

Won't be a Big Hole event next year, it was a one time event. And a wonderful event it was.

Doc Teri and her hubby are wonderful people but it is highly unlikely that we will ever cross paths again, except for on the internut.

BBC said...

but i'm gonna be pretty fucking depressed if harper wins those by-elections tonight!

You silly shit, it doesn't matter who wins, you are still fucked. Enjoy the fish.

BBC said...

Mayor Rob Ford has a higher approval rating than Obama...

Hahahahahaha

billy pilgrim said...

rob ford has charisma!!!! and he can channel john candy or chris farley depending upon the situation.

harper did the shits on the by-elections so the world did not end last night.

BBC said...

And Rob Ford gets enough pussy to eat at home. Hahaha

At least he is entertaining.

Doc Teri said...

I had a pit bull growing up...she was an absolute sweetheart (as long as you weren't a chihuahua. We also had one of those..my parents told me he died of "natural causes" but I suspect other means. On the other hand, who the fuck needs a chihuahua???)

BBC said...

On the other hand, who the fuck needs a chihuahua???

Hahahahaha

billy pilgrim said...

excellent point doc, who needs a breed of dog that's so difficult to spell?

taco bell and paris hilton?

BBC said...

They are not dogs, they are hybrid rats. :-)

Leslie said...

I have some really bad news for you two. ALTF fucked off to Cuba so now you're down to just one fucking cunt.

BBC said...

Correction, one hybrid yippy cunt.

yip, yip, yip.....

Fucking ankle biter.

billy pilgrim said...

i'm going to brush up on my grammar while she's away and i better not find out she's vacationing with a pig farmer.

BBC said...

Good luck with an ankle biter teaching a pig farmer some grammar.

Bob Harrison said...

I have a giant of an American Bulldog (150 lbs); he is extraordinarily playful and wouldn't intentionally hurt a fly but he can send any of my Corgis flying just by bouncing. He could kill a little yapper with one paw trying to shake hands. Needless to say, being just a pup and mostly untrained, he makes no public appearances.

He does, like my Akita before him, scare the Hell out of postmen, meter readers, and Jehovah's Witnesses. He is mortally terrified of some boogers in the night woods, though he has no problem chasing off bears.

And yeah, I vote to shoot the old man.

BBC said...

150 pounds..... dat's a lot of dog, I damn sure wouldn't mess with it.

A couple of big dogs rushed me a few months ago, I just stood still and they stood there barking at my feet until the owner showed up and called them off.

But if one bit me the war would have been on.

Farmer Giles said...

Billy, my friend, any dog owner with any major or minor common sense, especially when walking their dog around the streets, should have the _sense_ to keep their pooch on a lead [which, I believe is British law], and thus try to avoid 'dog confrontation' when walking their pets. Pebble, my Yorkie pup, is more of a people person, and therefore, can sometimes get quite frightened when a Great Dane tries to piss on her! This is generally, when I give the command, "Pebble, rip it's fuckin' throat out, baby!", to which she normally responds by lying submissively on the floor with a bemused look on her face which say something like, "Do the fuckin' what?" . Most dog owners can read their, and others dogs' body language and immediately know when confrontation is imminent. Sorry, mate, haven't had the time to read the article, but will respond when I have, and thus, will give you my report and my extremely lengthy and expert opinion. As for the ignorant cunts who're slating Yorkies for being troublesome little shits that're allowed to go round winding-up larger breeds, I'll simply say this: "Go and get shagged, get rid of that fuckin' 'dog of death' and walk tall and proud with your beloved l'al Yorkie at your toes - on its lead! :-P

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day!

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Steve [& Pebble!]...

PS Most dogs aren't a danger to other dogs nor people when under proper supervised control. The shit generally hits the fan when irresponsible owners are at the helm, and thus, have to be accountable for a certain degree of what is a dog's natural temperament, behavioural nature and its 'breed' behavioural nature, and breed' temperament, etc., etc., etc...

Woof, Woof! :-P

Ciao!

I'm glad I can't use phrasal verbs, I saw what it got you.

If the old psycho would have tried that on Bob the news story wouldn't have been about the dogs.

It would have been:

72 Year Old Man Found Dead With a Folding Knife Up His Ass

Farmer Giles said...

Billy, mate, OK, Judge Dread has arrived back with his verdict, which reads as follows: Well, I'm inclined to believe that the sad and unfortunate Pug shouldn't have been unleashed. The 72 year-old bloke, sadly shouldn't have been carrying a blade, anyway, and sadly, this is one of those extremely sad occasions where a sad series of events have unfolded, and as a result one/two dogs have had a disagreement which got of of control and the result of such is, the sad and tragic story that you read, one which all too easily could've been avoided!

Judge Dread's Verdict: Human and canine errors were responsible for the Pit Bull's sad and tragic death. The unfortunate, 72 year-old owner off the Pug should be jailed for a minimum of two life-terms in prison, resulting in death by electric chair! :-P Nah, seriously, I don't mean to mock this situation - it's actually so tragic. and could've been so easily preventable! ;-(

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day.

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Steve...

Marie was big on dog ownership, she always had a dog. When she got a new dog she would look up a dog training group and take it to teach it to get along with other dogs, and of course people. Ironically, about a year after I left her in Montana a policeman that moved onto her block had a police dog that attacked her, for no fucking reason, she was just out for a walk with her dog. I don’t recall how badly she was hurt but the fucking cops wouldn’t even pay for her medical bills.

If I ever get a dog I think it will be a healer, but I did read somewhere that they have bit more people than pit bulls. Still, it’s only one out of a thousand dogs that is going to bite anyone. Not that anyone should take my advice but whenever I’d had strange dogs come at me I’ve frozen and just stood still, with my hands in my pockets so they are not targets, or the dog thinks I may be making a move with them it may see as aggressive. I’ve only been bit once, when I was a kid with a paper route.

billy pilgrim said...

bob - 150 lbs! that's a lot of you know what to pick up. we have lady up the street with an akita, it's huge and ruby will give it a dirty look before walking away. she knows when she's out matched.

tex - yeah, i was faking it when i pretended to know about those verbs. a knife up the arse might teach the old lunatic some manners.

farmer - i can live with judge dread's verdict. i hope there are people at the park waiting for the old nut but he probably won't show up.

TheWayfarer said...

To any and all PRICKS thinking of knifing my dog:
Unless you can run 1150 feet per second (approx. speed of a Hornady Critical Defense 9mm round), best give that stupid fucking idea a pass!

thimscool said...

Hoorah!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope the Tutor doesn't catch cholera.

Farmer Giles said...

Billy, mate, I hope that you and your American comrades are enjoying your annual Thanksgiving festivities - you greedy, obese, gluttonous, over-indulgent food fetish freaks! :-P Please enjoy, and save the left-overs for the 'have-nots' - those poor souls in the world who would perhaps survive to see another day, given the opportunity to be given the tiniest left-over of morsels from those who celebrate Thanksgiving!

I apologise for the l'al rant, Billy, my friend, but some of us have crosses to bear and consciences to live with, not to mention, 'hearts and minds' that actually do worry and care.

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day!

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Steve...

billy pilgrim said...

don't worry, unlike farmer giles, i'll still love you sons of bitches regardless of how much you eat or shop.

thank you for taking the time to enjoy the moment with me. i enjoy being barked at.

Farmer Giles said...

Billy, sorry, mate. Wasn't intentionally trying to start World War III! Just thought I'd air my views with regards to my non-understanding and non-comprehension of Thanksgiving!

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day!

Peace,

Steve...

PS Just about to Watch Tolstoy's, War & Peace [on DVD].

Ciao!

BBC said...

I don't think most Canadians do our Thanksgiving, don't they have their own day for that?

I did drink next to one yesterday but she is here as much as she is there.

Billy P does seem to be in a good mood though, maybe he did some poontang gobble gobble yesterday.

billy pilgrim said...

king - i've had a spiritual awakening and am currently dispensing massive amounts of compassion and kindness.

it's too bad that frump's foolish pride precludes him from seeking my assistance.

here's my black friday promotion, equanimity for all!!

BBC said...

You'll get over it when you remember there are too many monkeys on this rock.

Mr. Shife said...

Pit bulls get a bad rap, and that's unfortunate because stuff like this happens. I also hope something happens to the man who killed the pit bull. Not cool at all. Have a good one, BP.

Mich said...

I really hate the pitbull discrimination. Every pit I've ever met has been the biggest sweetheart ever. And every single little yappy dog I've ever met has been horrible. And to think, a hundred years ago, pitbulls were thought of as the best dog to have as a pet...
