Pets on the blacklist

Hi my name is Clair and I realize that some may feel like I don't belong on this site but I feel like more dog owners should be aware of what is happening. I own American Pit Bull Terriers, they along with Rottweilers are listed at the top of the blacklist of breeds. Recently in LA. a 70 year old man and his son were arrested on dogfighting charges. Arrested on a Friday when all court systems are off work. The LASPCA murdered over 50 of his dogs. The man has not even been to court yet. Something to read and think about. Could the Rottweiler be next, then what breed. I know that a Rottweiler is not used for fighting, but they are right there on the top of the dog bite list.
The following was an email response to Laura of the LASPCA, the butcher who murdered Floyd and Guy Boudreaux's dogs. While I realize that my words can do little, maybe we can all put our differences aside and stand behind the APBT.




Subject: Concerning your mistreatment of Mr. Boudreaux and his animals...

To Laura of the LASPCA:

I am writing you in reference to the recent arrest of Mr. Floyd Boudreaux and his son, and of the subsequent euthanasia of their animals. As an American, I am absolutely disgusted by your reckless actions, not only because of the genocide that you have waged on the world's most courageous breed of dog, but also at your apparent disregard for legal due process. I have relatives who have fought and died for the rights we as American citizens are supposed to have, and I become enraged when people like yourself ignore those rights without any shame whatsoever. I am an avid reader and studier of World War II, and I must say that the actions of the SPCA, as well as the other "humaniac" groups, can be only compared to the actions of the Nazis themselves. Let me make a few points to you to defend my claims.

1. Similar to the Nazis, the SPCA and other "humaniac" groups use genocide, blatant murder, as their main weapon for accomplishing their goals. I watched the news video of Mr. Boudreaux's animals being taken from the property, and I must say my heart sank as I saw healthy dogs wagging their tails as they were unknowingly being marched off to their demise. I didn't see bloodthirsty dangerous animals, instead I saw helpless Jews being herded off by Nazis to the gas chamber. I realize my analogy is harsh, but not nearly as harsh as your murdering over fifty innocent APBTs. I have owned and bred American Pit bull terriers (I do not own any currently), so I know first hand that very few of these animals are dangerous to people. Even if it is to be proved that these specific animals were bred for fighting purposes, that has no relationship to their human aggression whatsoever. Do we condemn Rat Terriers for pursuing rats? Absolutely not. Should we condemn APBTs for being dog aggressive? Absolutely not. Mr. Boudreaux's dogs were properly restrained, and thus posed no threat of any kind to other animals or to humans. The only aggression I see here is your organization murdering over fifty healthy animals.

2. Similar to the Nazis, the SPCA and other "humaniac" groups use propaganda to blur the line between reality and fiction, and thus further their cause. I read in the news article regarding Mr. Boudreaux that because he owned a k-9 treadmill, that is proof of him fighting dogs. I have shown many dogs in ADBA sanctioned shows, and I can personally vouch that utilizing a treadmill is an excellent and efficient means of bringing a dog into show form. I have used a treadmill to shape two ADBA conformation champions. Mills are incredibly useful during bad weather or when time is short for working. I also found it amusing that the mill that Floyd owned was an antique and apparently had cob webs and rust on it, obviously because it had not been used for many years. Yet the SPCA, teaming with a money hungry media who sell hysteria much like drug dealers sell heroine, takes this bit of information and twists it into a completely fictional reality. Your propaganda is nauseating to me, because as a former owner of this breed, I know for a fact that you are dead wrong. If I own a pistol (which has NO other purpose than for killing humans), am I to be convicted as a murderer? Yet because Mr. Boudreaux owned a treadmill (which has many legal purposes), he is labeled a dog fighter. That is the "logic" that your propaganda would have the public believe.

3. Similar to the Nazis, the SPCA and other "humaniac" groups ignore the rights of the state and institute their own set of laws to further their interests. How can Mr. Boudreaux possibly get a fair trial when your organization has already destroyed the evidence? How can a jury make an informed decision if they cannot see these animals first hand? The answer is simply that Mr. Boudreaux can no longer have a fair trial, and the jury can never make an informed decision in this case. I am quite sure that this was your intention, because after all, what might happen if the jury is introduced to over fifty beautiful and friendly dogs? What might happen if they pet those animals, and see them for the first time without the influence of the media hype and your senseless propaganda slanting reality? I think we both know the answer. Your organization (and you as an individual) have no respect for the legal system. Your arrogance about your own power lead you to disgrace a system of law that is supposed to belong to all American citizens. Where is the justice in a legal system where only you make the rules?

4. Similar to the Nazis, the SPCA and the other "humaniac" groups constantly show their own ignorance as they pursue their cause. The Nazis believed in creating the super race, and displayed ignorance as they persecuted the people who didn't fit in with their plan (Jews, gypsies, etc.). Had the Nazis embraced and utilized the strengths of those people (as scientists, as doctors, as soldiers, etc.) they may have in fact triumphed in their cause. Their ignorance was their downfall, and I am always shocked every time I read more about it. Similarly, I am always shocked at the SPCA's lack of understanding of the APBT. For example, your organization considers a "fighting dog" to be a danger to society. This idea is purely ignorant. Why don't APB Ts rank highest on the bite list? Why do they score so highly in obedience training? Why do they make such loyal and trustworthy companions? Why? Because they ARE NOT BRED FOR HUMAN AGGRESSION (even if they ARE bred for dogfighting), thus, a human aggressive APBT is the exception, not the rule. Your organization also considers a breaking stick as being "dog fighting paraphernalia". The ignorance of this ideal is embarrassing. Using parting stick is in fact the most effective and humane method for separating dogs from each other should they happen to get into a fight (NO MATTER WHAT BREED THEY ARE!!!!). You organization claims that its purpose is to protect animals and keep them safe from harm, yet you don't even know how to separate animals in a humane fashion. Instead, your ignorance proceeds to the next level: murdering as many innocent APBTs as possible, as quickly as possible, instead of embracing the breed for its many noble qualities. Your ignorance is astounding, and I can only hope that, like the Nazis, it will some day be your downfall.

In conclusion, as an American, I am disgusted by the actions of your organization. I must admit, I am also fearful of your actions, as I can only compare them to those of the Nazis. I honestly do not understand how you people can look at yourselves in the mirror. Not only do you persecute Americans as you trample the legal system which is designed to protect the rights of all citizens, you commit senseless and barbaric atrocities against a noble breed of dog that is widely misunderstood (especially by the SPCA). Your organization is supposed to protect animals, and yet your main weapon in the pursuit of the illegal act of dogfighting is to murder as MANY animals as possible, when any logical human being can see that the dogs are the innocent ones. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. The dogs have committed no crimes, and Floyd and Guy Boudreaux are being denied their right to a fair trial. I do not consider the actions of the LASPCA to be legal nor humane. I urge the Boudreaux family to file a countersuit to address your crimes, and I hope that justice is served.

Sincerely,
A Persecuted American Citizen
