 Protest to free Forrest: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Once again the spotlight is on Denver, Colorado, Forrest the dog held captive, and his owner, Chris; an innocent man who thinks of his dog as his ’son’.  Join us as DJ Ice speaks with Dr. Paula Terifaj and Chris LIVE at the protest.  Hear as Chris tells his chilling tale of how Forrest was stolen the first time he ended up across the Denver city line and how DENVER forced him to keep his dog locked in a kennel.  Now Denver is holding the dog and threatening to euthanize him over the Breed Ban Legislation they passed several years ago that has since resulted in the deaths of hundreds of family pets only because they were guilty of being the wrong breed.  Forrest has never hurt anyone.  Chris doesn’t even reside in Denver.  His place of residence is recorded as being in Adams County; yet Denver feels the need to confine this dog and KILL him!

You hear the words, then you make your decision, then take action.  Don’t allow prejudice to win.  Stand up and be heard.  Stand up for Forrest.  Demand that he be returned to Chris.

Here is the link to the emergency show I did alerting the world of the situation in Denver, CO with a dog named Forrest and his ‘owner’, Chris.

Next is the JNU incident.
This is HORRIBLE!!!!Dear Friends, I have just read and signed the petition: “JNU : Dog Butchered Alive”.
Please take a moment to read about this important issue,and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference.
We are trying to reach 50000 signatures - please sign here:http://www. thepetitionsite. com/1/jnu-dog-butchered-aliveOnce you have signed, you can help even more by asking your

Visit http://adage.com/article?article_id=129799 to read the scoop.  Don’t forget to read the comments about the article.  They should really ruffle your feathers!!!!  Mindless whiney people thinking that Pit Bulls are vicious, again, playing into the hands of the ignorant!  Especially the one who was attacked by a pit bull.  I was attacked by 2 trained German Shephard dogs when I was 6 years old.  Even at that young age I knew it wasn’t the fault of the dogs but the fault of the owner.  This victim claims that the dog that attacked her was owned by a nurse and not trained to attack!  BULL CRAP!!!  That dog was probably not socialized or given the attention that a dog needs; or even abused.  ANY dog will turn mean if not properly socialized or abused!  The “nurse” appearantly lived alone so the dog was left alone 90% of the time.  NOT SOCIALIZED!!!!!!  Stop whining and blaming the breed.  I’m sick to death of hearing about Pit Bulls being vicious and mean when it ALWAYS boils down to how it was raised!!!!!!!

I have saved thousands of pit bulls and I know guys who bust up Pit Bull fighting rings WEEKLY and I nor any of them have EVER been bit by a Pit Bull!  I’ve been bitten by cats, wildlife, gerbils, hamsters, birds, chihuahuas, pomeranians, and other small breed dogs but I have NEVER been bitten by a Pit Bull.  My best friend was but that was because she was breaking up a dog fight (2 rescued dogs) and hit the pit bull over the head with a cast iron skillet!  She ended up calling me to help break the dogs up and I never got bit!

I deal with thousands of people on a daily basis who have rescued pit bulls whom have NEVER been bitten!!!!  So this garbage the press is trying to pass off as proof of Pit Bull aggression is full of dog piss!

The dogs being pit bulls are not the only issue that is raised in the concerns of the commercial, but also the fact that the commercial shows the dogs chained with no food, water or shelter.  Verizon Wireless wishes us to believe that the commercial is “fake” or “fantasy” but there is nothing “fake” or “fantasy about chained dogs.  Dogs Deserve Better works very hard to educate people about chained and penned dogs.  Fact is that a chained or penned dog is 100% more likely to bite a child or turn on people due to lack of socializing.  This is a FACT, not fiction or fantasy!

Also, look at the statistics about pit bull attacks.  Better yet, I’ll make it easy for you!  Here are the statistics, the FACTS:

Those are the hard cold facts about pit bulls.  If you can’t deal with it then BACK OFF THE BREED!!!!!!  If you can’t handle the truth about chained dogs the BACK OFF those of us who truly wish to make a difference!
