Peninsula Humane Society condemns pet pocket pittie to death




This adorable 8 year old 'pocket pittie' is the latest dog who has been condemned to die by Peninsula Humane Society. She was saved from being destroyed by the multi-million dollar facility which acts as the county dog pound and takes its job seriously when it comes to euthanizing.

From Craigslist:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/for/4444578701.html

"*FREE* gorgeous pocket pit bull pug mix. Yes, she's little at 30 lbs (santa cruz)

This is Molly. She's an 8 year old, 30 pound, pit bull pug mix. She's has a sweet disposition and aims to please. She is currently in a foster home but will be returned to the shelter if she doesn't find a home within the week where she will be euthanized. ~PLEASE~ if you or someone you know would like gorgeous sweet well behaved dog contact me A.S.A.P. 

A little more about her: she is originally from Oahu. She's been on the mainland for less than a year. Her owner had her shipped here without having a stable home for herself. The owner couch surfs and can not find an affordable home that allows dogs so she dropped her off at the Burlingame SPCA. Molly does not like little dogs or cats and shows aggressive behavior because of this the SPCA has deemed her unfit to adopt and wanted to put her down. I, the foster, picked her up last minute and am having her professionally trained.

She can now be leashed around small dogs without snapping but I would NOT recommend a home for her with small animals. She is great with big dogs or dogs her size and shines around kids and people!! She is not hyper but loves walks. She loves being around people but loves to sleep for hours on end.

She is up on all her shots, has never been sick, and has a clean record. She does have some pain in her joints from arthritis and it's something she's always experienced. She is house trained and can "hold it" all day, she knows all her basic commands: sit, down, stay as well as few more. Another week in training and she will be extremely obedient.

DON'T let this sweet girl be put down! She deserves a nice family and a nice family deserves a dog like Molly!! 650-580-900 five"

What is happening at this huge facility which pays its director a half million a year and throws in a free million dollar Burlingame residence? Director Kenneth While blogs about loving animals, but each day we hear about innocent dogs like Molly being euthanized at this gigantic San Mateo institution entitled "humane society." Did we not get the memo on the new definition for 'humane' or what?

Please share this story and keep an eye on Peninsula Humane Society and the poor animals who don't wind up in Kenneth White's blog but dead in a plastic bag.

Peninsula Humane Society tries to murder two family pets


This hardworking teenager is the latest citizen to suffer Denver-style murder tactics by the Peninsula Humane Society in San Mateo, California. I've written multiple articles and stories about this high-kill facility which operates as the 'dog pound' for San Mateo County.

When a couple of local animal rescues saw the following post, they jumped into high gear to keep the high kill facility from killing two more family pets.


"OMG MEGA URGENT!!!! Please can someone help or this whole village step in and help as much as possible to save this baby's life TODAY???? 4-24-14 at 4pm any later than that they will put her to sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The young man was scared to death having been threatened by Peninsula Humane that his dogs were to be killed. He was so frightened, he posted the dogs on Craigslist as free in order to save their lives:

"Craigslist Post:

FREE DOBERMAN (san mateo) CA
PLEASE HELP MY DOG

my Doberman/pitbull has been captured by the aspca when she got away one night when I was on a trip unfortunetly they capture my 9 yr old boxer too (I love her to death)

I could only pay the fee for my boxer to get out witch is $90 (im paying for)
but my biggest concern is that since they have been there for a while tthey want to charge me $150 just for my Doberman and if we don't nothing about it my 4-24-14 by 4:00 they will put her to sleep

I cant afford to take both of them out so im posting this asking anyone out there if you want the Doberman for the impound fee of $150

but the final day would be at 4-24-14 at 4pm any later than that they will put her to sleep
the Doberman is less than a year old she doesn't like cats but she is very sweet to kids, and other dogs please reply as soon as possible

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pet/4437862784.html"

Literally working with only seconds to spare, the young man, a Brazilian teenager, had gone to the 'shelter' to say his goodbyes when local boxer rescuers saw his Craigslist post and kindly offered to pay the exorbitant fees to keep Peninsula Humane from killing these two family pets.

This young man was so grateful, he is working off the fees in his spare time as a local waiter. Wouldn't it be nice if all Americans with 9,000 dogs dying in shelters daily worked so hard to save our own pets?

And how about the director of the high kill Peninsula Humane Society pulling down a half million a year and living high on the hog in million dollar Burlingame digs? Wouldn't it be nice if some of those dollars could be spent trying to save a couple of lives for a change?

This story is heartwrenching and those who helped this young man had tears running down their faces to see someone who loves his pets so dearly and willing to do anything in his power to save them.

On a side note, a couple was overheard at a local market in San Mateo County recently discussing Peninsula Humane stormtrooping into their home and illegally seizing their two pet pit bulls for no reason. To redeem their pets, the couple had to pay $1500 dollars. What is going on in the Peninsula? Has Kory Nelson, the gestapo from Denver and responsible for over 4000 pet deaths moved in?

Thankfully, this young man's pets were spared if only in the nick of time. What about the others whose owners don't have the necessary funds to save when PHS slams the doors on their dogs?

Horrifying.

Perez Hilton: newly converted pit bull hater

Perez Hilton showing off recent weight loss, etc.
Yet another out there story about pit bulls lacking data and fact. This time, Perez Hilton took a u-turn out of Paris Hilton's underpants drawer checking to see what color she's wearing today and made a bee-line over to the pit bull hater's camp.

In the strory "Mother Saved Daughter From Pit-Bull's Vicious Attack By Biting Its EAR OFF! Get The Scary Details HERE!", Mr. Hilton joined forces with other hate bloggers like Dawn James of Craven Desires and Colleen Lynn of Dogsbite.org. He done 'em up real proud by misrepresenting the story and leaving out pertinent facts in order to promote a sensational piece seemingly designed to build hate and fear for the first native American dog breed, American Pit Bull Terriers.

"One mother-daughter couple from Alvin, Texas are both lucky to be alive.

And it's all thanks to momma Chelsi Camp's heroic maternal instincts.

The incident happened at the end of March when Chelsi and her daughter Mackenzi Plass were dog sitting a friend's pit bull. The dog had always been friendly, and yet on this day it ATTACKED Chelsi's daughter.

Here's what the mom said:

"The dog came up and he was just curious. When he smelled her, that's when you saw it flip because I think he smelled my dog on her."

As the dog mauled her daughter, the mother instinctively thrust her fists into the dog's mouth, bit its ear clean off, all while instructing her daughter to lie on her stomach so she wouldn't choke on any blood, AND managing to call 9-1-1.

Here's what the mother said of the terrifying ordeal:

"I only know to fight so how else do you get somebody to stop. I mean I would do the same thing with a human being."

When police showed up on the scene, the dog was still trying to attack the mother and the daughter. An officer shot the canine, and it was later euthanized.

As for Chelsi's daughter, she suffered severe head and facial injuries, but is slowly yet surely
recovering.

The mother said:

"I can actually hold her again. I couldn't hold her for the first week that was the hardest part. She's a strong little girl and a fighter. She's meant to be here."

The incident shook up the whole community, and the League City Police Department wrote on their site:

"Rarely do we get to know what happens after the emergency response is over. And there are some calls that haunt us for the rest of our careers."

We're just glad this mother and daughter are OK.

Both could have easily died, and probably would've if it wasn't for this brave momma's amazing instincts to survive.

She's absolutely a hero.

Check out more information from this horrifying story (below) !

This story is more full of holes than an East Texas road from which it sprang in the first place. I'm personally sitting her next to a wonderful dog, Peanut, from the Alvin Shelter, but you won't read about Peanut or any of the other dogs being slaughtered in Alvin, nearby Houston and clean across the U.S.A. thanks to faulty journalistic efforts like Hollywood reporter at large, Perez Hilton.

Was the dog neutered and was there another dog on premises? A good journalist would present all the facts and not just ramblings which support a scandalous headline.

From the mother's own mouth before she bit off the dog's ear, "because I think he smelled my dog on her." Was her dog a female and was that dog intact? Most maulings can be traced to an intact male and intact female except when trying to track down missing facts in a media frenzy story of this sort. Suddenly, there are no facts and certainly no answers for an astute reader.

Most importantly, how did this woman get her mouth around a dog's ear and chew it off? If this dog was in full-on maul red zone, just how could anyone get their head in between the child and an allegedly uncontrollable situation and still manage to use the telephone? Something just doesn't jive.

I, for one, would like to know the whole story which might include some facts. Credit be given to Mr. Hilton for keeping us all informed regarding the goings on with Beverly Hills housewives, but do us a favor and when attempting to cover a story like this one which will kill 9,000 dogs today in shelters, get your gossip right.
