Pit Bull Kills Deaf Lady's Chihuahua

Caught on tape, A Pit-bull kills Deaf lady's Chihuahua.

EL SERENO-LOS ANGELES, California -- A Deaf woman and her dog were attacked by a neighbour's American Pit-Bull Terrier in El Sereno Saturday morning. The woman's dog, a Chihuahua named Muffy, had to be put down.

From what it looks like on the CCTV, it was all the Deaf ladys fault right Pit Bull supporters??! "They've attacked the mail man, they've attacked dog, they've attacked other people that are walking their dogs, as well as people that were just walking," said Rene Uribe, a neighbour.

This is why you should never get a pit bull as a pet. Pit bulls are the #1 Killer of our beloved pets of all dog breeds combined.

Did you know that 38,000 domestic animals are killed every year by pit bulls (for comparison: 10,000 people are killed by drunk drivers every year)? Our neighborhoods have turned into killing fields for pit bulls. Our pets are getting slaughtered in our neighborhoods. Not only that but many people end up getting hurt trying to save their pet. These devastated people who lose their pets are suffering from PTSD. https://facebook.com/pitbullskilledmypet.

A Propensity to Attack Other Dogs Means a Dog Is Dangerous to People. Approximately one-third of Mr. Phillips' cases started out as a dog attacking another dog, and then turned into a dog attacking a person.
https://dogbitelaw.com/vicious-dogs/a-propensity-to-attack.

The laws and procedures of animal control across the country need to be revamped in light of the pit bull fad that's taken over. These pit bull owners need to stop terrorizing the public with their dogs. These pit bull owners should be charged with assault by a deadly weapon. Anyone who allows their pit bull to attack or kill another animal is exactly the same capacity as a dog fighter.

Correct there are nice pit bulls. The problem is that you can't tell them apart from the pit bulls that decide to kill. Would you deliberately choose a crib, car, or helmet with the highest record of fatalities and the worst safety rating? Pit-bull type dogs are responsible for 95% of severe attacks (level 4-6 dog bites) on people, pets and livestock in breed neutral zones. Please follow for one month. You will be shocked at all the people and pets that are severely maimed or killed by pit bulls.
https://nationalpitbullvictimawareness.org.

Pit bulls do not lock their jaw but with their 'gameness' trait they do not let go until their victims are dead. This trait is for success in the fight pits.

Two words to prove pit bull type dogs are inherently dangerous: "BREAK STICK".

Does this sound like a normal and safe dog breed to have live in our neighborhoods? Pit Bull Rescue Central recommends ALL pit bull owners to have a "break stick", a wedge-shaped piece of wood used to pry open a pit bull’s jaw during an attack. "Since pit bulls have a strong fighting background, we recommend that pet owners also have a breaking stick as a precaution.

This person demonstrates how to use a break stick on a pit-bull:

Pit bulls do not lock their jaws, but due to their "gameness" trait, they rather die than to let go. This trait ensures success in the dog-fighting ring. They have a wide jaw structure and are able to breath/pant while hanging onto their victim's flesh; to ultimately wear down their opponents. The panting allows pit bulls not to overheat so their chances of "winning" during the fight increases. These pit bull breed traits supersede any other dog breeds' bite pressure.

According to Pit Bull Rescue Central, "It is a FACT that our pit bulls, AmStaffs and pit mixes come with a built-in fighting heritage. It doesn’t matter where we get them from, whether it be the pound, a stray we pick up, or a puppy we buy from a breeder. The majority of pit bulls will, at some point in their lives, exhibit some degree of dog-on-dog aggression. Yet, chances are that a "normal" pit bull will not share his affection with other animals. We cannot predict when or where it will happen and we can’t love, train or socialize it out of the dog. Pit bulls may not start fights, but they will finish them."

Tia Torres, who has a T.V. show on Animal Planet called "Pit Bulls & Parolees", wrote this for Rescue Train. "It's a mistake to think the fighting gene can be easily trained or loved out of a pit-bull."
https://therescuetrain.org/resources/pitbull-education.

Please read 'HOW TO PREVENT YOUR PIT BULL FROM FIGHTING'. Most shelters and rescues staff/volunteers admit pit bulls are bred for fighting. It's best to own only one pit bull. NEVER bring an adult pit bull to an off-leash dog park, we are setting people and dogs up for failure.
https://bullymax.com/preventing-pitbull-fights.

Pit bulls killed 38,000 other animals last year including 13,000 dogs, 5,000 cats, and 20,000 farm animals.

Marlee Matlin Honored Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Deaf Actress Marlee Matlin Receives Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.

LOS ANGELES, California -- An actress Marlee Matlin is honored with a star on the world famous Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, May 6, 2009.

Marlee Matlin received the 2,383rd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday honoring an extensive television and movie career, including being the youngest winner of the best actress Academy Award.

Actor-producer Henry Winkler and actress Jennifer Beals were among those joining Matlin at the late-morning ceremony in front of the Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Boulevard.

The ceremony also included a musical performance by children from the Northbrook, Ill.-based International Center of Deafness & the Arts.

Matlin, who lost all hearing in her right ear and 80 percent of the hearing in her left ear at the age of 18 months because of Roseola Infantum, made her stage debut in the 1974 at the age of seven in the center's production of "The Wizard of Oz," as Dorothy. She continued to appear with its children's theatre group throughout her childhood.

"I really am humbled to be here today with all of you on this magnificent street of dreams, the Hollywood Walk of Fame," Matlin said through a sign-language interpreter.

Among those she thanked was Winkler, who discovered Matlin as a child and let her live with him and his family for two years while she was breaking into show business.

"To the most amazing mentor and friend, Henry Winkler, and your beautiful wife, Stacey, and family, how would I ever be standing here without your words of encouragement and support and love?" she said. "Two years of letting me stay in your beautiful home when I first moved to California was a turning point in my life."

The 43-year-old Matlin received the star three weeks after the publication of her autobiography, "I'll Scream Later" and a day before she will receive the Mary Pickford Award at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Community Foundation's 16th annual Women of Distinction luncheon.

Born and raised in the Chicago suburb of Morton Grove, Matlin was discovered in a Chicago stage production of the Tony Award-winning play, "Children of a Lesser God."

Matlin was then cast in the film version, which premiered in 1986,winning the best actress Oscar at the age of 21, the youngest to win the award and one of the few performers to win an Oscar in a film debut.

Matlin's other film credits include "Walker," "The Man in the Golden Mask," "The Player," "It's My Party," "Hear No Evil," "The Linguini Incident," "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" and its sequel, "What the Bleep!? Down the Rabbit Hole."

Matlin also has an extensive list of television credits, including starring in the 1991-93 NBC crime drama, "Reasonable Doubts." She also was a cast member of Showtime's "The L Word" for its final three seasons.

Matlin is a four-time Emmy nominee, three for outstanding guest actress in a drama for appearances on "Picket Fences," "The Practice" and "Law &Order: Special Victims Unit." The fourth was for outstanding guest actress in a comedy for the 1993 episode of "Seinfeld," "The Lip Reader."

Matlin also starred in the made-for-television movies, "Bridge to Silence," her first speaking role, "Against Her Will: The Carrie Buck Story," "Dead Silence," "Freak City," "Where the Truth Lies," and "Sweet Nothing in My Ear."
