Blue Dog State: HSUS on Pit Bulls: Better Off Dead

    $190 Thousand per Pup: Price tag for an innocent life?

    HSUS's sworn court testimony pushes for puppy slaughter


    The two HSUS baby Dog Fight Czars -- Amanda Arrington and Chris Schindler -- that testified before Superior Court Judge Ed Wilson Jr. in Wilkesboro, North Carolina in February, got what they wanted:

    The deaths of every last one of Ed Faron's dogs. The dogs had been seized as evidence in a dogfighting prosecution.

    A number of the puppies held by Wilkes County were born after the seize took place -- they had never lived at Wildside Kennels at all.

    All of them, even puppies like this one -- so young they were still nursing -- were killed following HSUS's "expert testimony."

    There were no evaluations of the individual dogs.

    No assessments of their histories, their health, their temperaments, their potential. Nothing.

    HSUS arranged for them all to die.

    HSUS's weasel words in open court

    Arrington and Schindler agreed,
    in court and under oath, that all of the Wildside Kennel dogs had to die.

    To quote Arrington's rendition of standard HSUS die, die, die policy:

    "I think it is an unrealistic expectation for us to ask these dogs that have been bred generations for fighting to become regular pets. "

    [​IMG] Arrington--an HSUS Regional Director--is apparently in total denial of how well the Vick dogs have done. Figures, since HSUS wanted the Vick dogs dead, too.

    Chris Schindler, HSUS's Deputy Manager, Animal Fighting Enforcement, put it this way:

    "These dogs have been bred for generations upon generations for a single purpose of animal fighting; the puppies included."

    What a crock of shit.

    That is the history of every "fighting dog" in the world. Its the history of every terrier worth its salt. Yet they can be excellent pets.

    Pit bulls -- bred for fighting for generations and yadda yadda -- have won the hearts of Americans for centuries. James Thurber's short story about life with a pit bull that came from "fighting lines" ran in the
    New Yorker in 1935. Find a copy at your library, and keep the Kleenex box handy.

    The $190,000 question: perjury? or extortion?

    During her February 16, 2009 testimony, Arrington said something halfway unusual, though.[​IMG]


    She testified that Best Friends Animal Society put a price tag on the cost to rehabilitate the Wildside dogs: $190,000.

    Each.


    Arrington: [Best Friends is] offering to assist. That is their language that they used. That means it would still be the county's responsibility. And in their own words, it costs about $190,000 per dog to rehabilitate them.

    THE COURT: $190,000 to rehabilitate a dog?


    MS. AMANDA ARRINGTON: Yes, sir.

    THE COURT: That's what Best Friends says?


    MS. AMANDA ARRINGTON: Yes.

    Sounds like the Court had a little trouble digesting that figure, but HSUS's Chris Schindler backed her up on it:[​IMG]



    "THE COURT: Sir, did you want to add something?
    MR. CHRIS SCHINDLER: I'm Chris Schindler. I'm the Deputy Manager, Animal Fighting Law Enforcement, Humane Society of the United States. Your Honor, basically agree with all the things that everyone else has said. . ."
    Pennies from heaven? Not hardly.
    So, where did that $190,000 figure come from?
    Did Best Friends Animal Society, which walked off with a huge chunk of Michael Vick's money, really hope to get $190,000 per dog for the Wildside Kennels pups?
    Or did the Humane Society of the United States just make up more shit--also known as perjury--in order to impress the court?
    Hard to say, isn't it?[​IMG]
    Plenty of questions, not many answers

    Yes Biscuit is building quite a list of unanswered questions.
    Caveat's got some good ones, too.
    Me? I'd like to know if Arrington and Schindler are going to just -- poof! -- disappear, now that HSUS's heartless, sick fuck up in Wilkes County is becoming public knowledge.
    Kinda like what happened to Laura Maloney, LA SPCA's former director.
    The woman who okayed the slaughter of Floyd Boudreaux' dogs made a hasty move to Australia, beyond the reach of subpoenas, reporters and pesky bloggers, before Floyd's trial began.
    Will HSUS disappear Arrington and Schindler? HSUS's date with "national pit bull stakeholders" in a no-tell hotel in Vegas is fast approaching and Arrington and Schindler are pariahs.
    If HSUS wants to convince the world that "change" is a word in its vocabulary, too, I'm thinking Arrington and Schindler's days are numbered.
    Not that ditching two little baby Dog Fight Czars will make a difference.
    The final question
    Does the Humane Society of the United States speak for you?
    Or are you as revolted by all the lies, killing and fund-raising masquerading as "animal protection" as I am?
    What's it gonna be?
