Whoopi on "The View" apparently loves her some


Posted: Mar 5, 2015

she has talked about a huge 100+ pit bull, had it on their show this morning along with its owners and their small child. This dog has been making the rounds of the shows and yesterday showing a small segment and today she stated about "how if they are raised right", the usual when someone has one, how they are really good dogs (until they maim or kill of course) and raising them right. A lady in California just this week attacked and nearly killed (have not seen an update) if not killed by a pit bull. My neighbor down the street will never be the same again, walking her 2 small dogs attacked out of the blue, never saw it coming by 2 pit bulls another neighbor owned and this lady who was attacked spent months trying to recover from the attack, lost an ear, the aftermath has made her afraid to leave her home, etc. I am an animal lover, have rescued animals. Some places in my state do not allow pit bull rescues because of their unreliable nature, I know, BTDT. Having said this, I only wish they would just be sprayed, neutered and let the breed just fade away. I know one lady here in my state that said she raised her pit from a small dog, loved it, treated it good, and it turned on her son one day while the mother went to the bathroom, killing the child. She tries to talk and raise awareness of, nope not just the way you treat them but something definitely in the makeup. Oh, I know others say small dogs attack but how many poodles, wiener dogs, etc. do you know that jump up going for the throat and killing/maiming? There is no way under the sun I would ever have one or be around one knowingly.;

Recently a woman in the next town over was - attacked by her own pit bull. sm

She had serious wounds to her face, arms and legs, and even though someone both stabbed the dog and clubbed it with a baseball bat to try to get it off of her, the attack couldn't be stopped. She had to be airlifted to a trauma center.

they don't let go - anon

that's what makes them so deadly. Dogsbite.org has a lot of stats about pit bull attacks and how to defend yourself. I use air horns and pepper spray. Air horn worked when neighbor's pit bulls came after me and my son.

Cover their nostrils - sm

My husband has seen this work. The pit bull attacked a dog and would not let go. The owner covered the pit bulls nostrils and the dog had to get go to get some air. When the dog let go, the other dog was able to escape.

The pit bulls are a problem. Some of them are the sweetest dogs you could ever find. What to do . . .
In a case of panic, as in my neighbor being attacked, - wonder how many would remember
[ In Reply To ..]
while they are fighting for their life, being mauled, bitten to try to get to the nose of the dog and close their nostrils. I noticed you said the owner did this, not a person who was a victim of such a horrible attack.
Hopefully this little bit of knowledge will help someone - sm

Better to know than not know. I, myself, am terrible in emergency situations--my mind goes blank. My husband is incredibly cool and calm and would react accordingly.

We were at a wedding reception and a small child sitting near us started to cough. No one really noticed and then hubby grabbed the child, tossed him across his knee, and whacked her on the back. Everyone was just stunned, and then a piece of meat flew out of the kids mouth. It was quite amazing and he really was the hero of the evening.
I myself was able to act in an emergency - such as when seeing my cat

across the room who was holding up his rear leg, hopping and meowing in distress. For whatever reason I immediately picked him up, putting him across a ottoman and immediately jerking the leg, thus pulling it back into its socket. Having said this, not the same as facing a raging dog that is biting and tearing you limb by limb to have the thought, oh let me save myself (another) by getting my hands in a place to close his nostrils.
An aquaintance of mine recently shot his - neighbor's pit with a 12-gauge -
[ In Reply To ..]
shotgun. It had attacked his 10-yr-old daughter's friend, and he ran out with his gun. Then the dog let go of the little girl and ran straight at him. As it approached, it launched itself into the air, and he shot it in the chest, killing it instantly. Unbelievably, the neighbor who owned the dog was giving him a hard time about shooting it.

I just don't understand why people own those things, other than to guard their meth labs.
I just saw a video where someone's grandmother - was doing the ice-bucket challenge - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
and her daughter's pitbull was nearby, just off-camera. When the woman squealed after being doused, the dog inexplicably jumped at her face, bit on hard, and didn't let go - pulling her to the ground. At that point the daughter shooting the video dropped the camera, and you couldn't see the damage (thankfully!), but I heard the daughter saying they were going to put the dog down. A little late for that, unfortunately for the poor grandmother.

Ugh, I used to like Whoopi Goldberg.... - but she really is ignorant

about a lot of things....and if I have to hear her talking about how her breasts sag to the floor or how she farts on live TV ONE more time I am going to gag. I actually can't watch that show anymore.

I agree with you about pit bulls. It's not just the owner. It's something in their nature along with the fact that they have a "clamping" type of jaw that is different from other dogs. They are DANGEROUS. I love animals, especially dogs, and I wouldn't want to see them put to sleep or anything like that, but I do think they ought to be illegal for just anyone to own. They need to be cared for by highly knowledgeable experts and NEVER around children.

I have to agree with what you have posted. - Christine

I think many of them are so sweet and lovable. Why they attack is a mystery. This summer in my city a woman was just mowing her lawn. Two pit bulls from the next yard dug under the fence and attacked the woman, causing critical wounds. She survived, but emotionally I am sure never. Another incident in the summer in my home town involved a man walking his small dog out in a rural area. A pit came from nowhere and attacked and killed the small dog. I know where I live it is getting almost impossible to rent an apartment even with a pit mix. I think some of the problem is the breeder. Aggression needs to be bred out of these dogs, and I fear some breeders who are not reputable breed a more aggressive dog with a dog of the same temperament to have a more powerful dog. They are tenacious, and as anon wrote, they don't let go. It is terribly sad.

Genetics is a powerful thing. Pits are bred to - fight to the death. Its in their DNA.

[ In Reply To ..]
You can love them, train them, and think they're 100% safe, but they're not. Same with a pet tiger. Sometimes the triggers seem inexplicable, but somewhere deep inside their genetics is a code to attack when a certain stimulus arouses that instinct. Granted, all animals (as well as humans) have it in them to attack and kill. But the problem with pitbulls and pet tigers) is their size and conformation. A toy poodle can attack you, but it's not going to have the tenacity or the ability to do the kind of damage that a pitbull can do. The people that keep trying to deny this are only fooling themselves.
OP- Reminds me of when I saw Seigfried and Roy with - their tigers in Las Vegas
[ In Reply To ..]
The show had been playing for over 40 years. When I went was thrilled with white tigers, white lions, baby animals, beautiful. About 3 months later the tiger that had been raised and loved by the 2 turned on Roy and almost killed him. Roy has never been the same since, partially paralyzed. Those wild animals were raised from babies and loved and had the run of their home there in Vegas like they were doggies and I would bet the 2 would have never thought one would turn, in fact Roy has always contended the tiger was trying to rescue him (by the neck) and pull him off stage. I have cats, love them dearly but always tell others they are animals and you can never say what they will do, never.
