Jackson Jambalaya

Pit bull Mom here.

I'm real sick of the discrimination against this loving and gentle breed. I don't have a husband or kids but I have 3 sweet baby bullies and they wouldn't hurt a fly. Bad owners can make any breed vicious.

Ban bad pit bull owners! That is one of my many tattoos.

No one said ban pit bulls here. Get lost.

@9:55

No offense but you sound a bit "off". But I digress. The main point here is if you live in Jackson and don't have a gun and know how to use it...you're asking for trouble. To the deceased dog's owner: I am very sorry for your tragic loss.

sadly I doubt if there is any hope of $ for VET bills. scum bag probably chains them to a tree in a mud hole. the number of unneutered and loose dogs in Jackson is really depressing.

@9:55, I'm sad to say that one day we'll be reading a similar story about how you've been attacked by your own dogs. The dogs in the story, haven proven their propensity for violence, should have been killed on the spot. BTW - nobody cares about your tattoos, or bad life choices.

My understanding is that the owner paid for the vet bill.

Pit bulls should be exterminated. A lady who was over a pit bull organization in CA was killed and partially eaten by her three loving and gentle pit bulls. Owners should be arrested for being idiots..

Indian Cobra owner here...

I have two Indian Cobras and I let my sweet sub-continent babies slither all over my naked, oiled, and tattooed body all the time and they haven't bitten me once!

"One of my many tattoos." 9:55 is trolling you guys. Spellinz2gud to be real.

Well played.

I hope. Gulp.

Headline: Pit Bull Heroically Swims River to Attack Young Child

Get out of Jackson , now !

@10:21AM Indian Cobra Owner,

Please continue...

that's so hot

There are far too many ignorant undisciplined people in Jackson who do not keep track of their own children much less a potentially dangerous animal that needs professional training and care. Wild poodles roaming the streets of South Jackson are one thing, wild pit bulls are another.

JPD’s administration cares as much about a fully functional animal control unit as they do about fixing these potholes. Visit animal control any day of the week to find the neglect from the city administration. I have volunteered there and the conditions are substandard for the humans and animals. No, excuse for not complying to the ordinance but it speaks volumes on the neglected issues of this department.

All the best pets are lethal. Every day is a gift and you can measure their love in proportion to your lifespan.

Those 3 dogs should be shot on sight because they are dangerous--not because they are pit bulls.

Pit bull or not these dogs were viscous and killed another small dog. They could be any other breed but they happen to be pitbulls. Yes, pitbulls can be kind and obedient, but these 3 aren’t and that’s just that. The owner should have to hold some kind of responsibility for having dogs that act like this running free

One Call that's all. Call Richard Schwarts & sue the neighbors with the errant DOGS & the City of Jackson for everything they are worth. Put a lien on City Hall like a former Governor & lawyer did. Don't get Morgan & Morgan because they use their pet dog in commercials.

Which municipalities have banned pit bulls? I know Ridgeland caved in and decided not to.

@ 10:54 "Those 3 dogs should be shot on sight because they are dangerous--not because they are pit bulls."

^^^ This. If my lab, who has had extensive obedience and retriever training in the thousands of dollars range, attacked another dog or person viciously, I would spare the cost and put .22 caliber to his head. At the end of the day, a dog is a dog and just like people, if they attack and harm, they should be dealt with.

Any mammal can be taught obedience and restraint around certain people under certain very specific circumstances.

Seems like every month, you see a video of bears or lions cuddling with their trainer.

That doesn't mean they belong in residential neighborhoods.

There are a bazillion breeds of dogs. Pit Bulls, dobies, and the like should be extinct. There are plenty of other mild dog breeds to choose.

You can't sue if they have no insurance, which if they are renting, most likely they don't. Most homeowners policies exclude certain breeds or won't write your coverage for Pits, Chows and Dobermans. Your right, wait till they attack the owner then she will blame it on everything but the dog.

Dog breeds have been bred by man for certain purposes. The purposes for the pit bull breed are clear and easily understood. Duh.

The question is not, would I have used my Glock and put those dogs down before they fled back over the fence and out of my back yard? The question is, how many shots would it have taken? I'm thinking less than one magazine. After all, it's a 15 round mag.... If you like your dog, WHATEVER THE BREED, you best keep it out of MY yard!

What idiot returned those dogs back to the owner? They should be fired and sued.

Miss. Code Ann. § 97-41-16, the Mississippi Dog and Cat Pet Protection Law of 2011, provides:

"(4)
(a) Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting a person from:
(i) Defending himself or herself or another person from physical or economic injury being threatened or caused by a dog or cat.
(ii) Injuring or killing an unconfined dog or cat on the property of the person, if the unconfined dog or cat is believed to constitute a threat of physical injury or damage to any domesticated animal under the care or control of such person."

11:13, the jails are full of people serving as examples of the error of you comments.

@10:29. I’m sure there must be pit bulls in Madison too... unless they need shade trees to survive. Or they are allergic to fake stucco housing.

I love dogs, but there are some breeds that do not need to exist. They include pit bulls, presa canarios and dogo argentinos to name a few. Too unpredictable around people and too dangerous if provoked.

Lol. Next!

I'm so sorry that Pugsley died. He was just going what he was supposed to be doing - guarding his house/yard and being a loving companion to his family - and should never have been subjected to this violent ending.

If this happened to me, I would shoot the $^*(#&^#$ dogs and drape their dead bodies over the owner's front porch along with a demand letter for my vet bills and any other expenses.

I'm a pit bull owner , have been for 20+ years. Pits are animal aggressive. That's how they were bread. Not people agressive. All dog breads bite people all dog breads fight other dogs. Cats fight cats . Bitds fight other birds. Bad owners are to blame when the dog is on the street .. Not teaching a dog his place in the family. All bad ownership. My daughter got 12 stitches from a parrot. ( Kill all parrots?) If a dog any dog is deamed agressive , it should be put down . Mexicans are doing a lot worse here in America . Iowa just had a instance. Let's start putting them down .

This is one more example of the Black culture loving violence. Kind of like the grocery store video. They always love evil, violence and breaking the law.

White trash also has a love for these animals, so its not just a black thing, but primarily, it is.

I would have shot them immediately even if I found them in the owners yard.

I allowed this comment to show how stupid you are.

The pit bulls' owner is white. Daddy was a stalwart of NE Jackson when he died in his 90's a few years ago. Junior has probably lived in that house for thirty years as it belonged to his dad.

But yeah, blame the black folks.

Not a word about the Animal Control "Officer" refusing to seize the dogs?

The only good pit bull is a dead pit bull.

KF at 1:32 - Yep, and now the neighbor, whose dog was attacked, may be living in Daddy's house.

"my pitbull would never hurt anyone" - says lady with neck tatoo.

I don't care what breed the dog is. If they get over into my fenced backyard and kill my dog and attack my family I will shoot them dead. I may wind up in court but I won't have maimed or dead family members. The same would go for a person.

@KF
You are spot on. You can't blame black folks for pitbulls. White people created the breed. And a matter of fact, I don't think there is a breed of dog created by African Americans. Animal husbandry are the realms of people of Asian and European descent.

1:24 - dog bread - that sounds delicious!

Pit bulls might as well be land crocodiles. Animal aggressive v. people aggressive? GTFOOH with that nonsense. Owner's fault? That doesn't bring the victim back. You know what would have prevented the attack? Not having the dog. Works 100% of the time.

Owning violent animals and even promoting animal fighting IS a black culture thing. Remember that Vick bastard ?

Who was the "sista" that got all pissed not long ago when a law was being crafted to make dog fighting a crime?

I remember she admitted dog fighting was part of the homeboy culture and should be legal.

Well kingfish to be fair 1:29 no doubt covered the basis when he said white trash likes these dogs too. I’m sure a white guy with three pit bulls would qualify as “white trash” to most of us. Anywho I have a black neighbor who is very dear to me that taught me how to deal with loose pit bulls. It’s an old fashioned method so brace yourself: when you see them loose break up glass and mixed it in with ground beef. They can’t resist and it works every time. They won’t drop dead in your yard so nobody knows you did it. Normally they go home to die.

Not familiar with rural culture, are you? No different when it comes to pit bulls.

1:24 Hey Bozo. Parrots do not have jaws especially bred (bread to you) for crushing and killing. They are not especially likely to clamp down and tear away flesh and maim the target of it's attack. An individual pit bull may be
the most loving and friendly animal in the neighborhood, but it may not be. If it is not, it can be a menace beyond reason. Why take the chance, when there are so many other breeds less dangerous?

@ 3:33 - The sista you mention is none other than state senator Babs Blackmon at the podium on the senate floor.

@ 3:54 - I have to back 1:24 up on his daughters injury by the parrot. I had a cockatoo that was allowed to free range the owners house grab me by the hand just below my little finger. It left a pretty good gash.

January 7, 2019 at 9:55 AM
I am a pitbull advocate-most of them are very loyal, loving dogs. However, in EVERY breed there are vicious individual dogs. These dogs are not a good breed ambassador and due to the unprovoked attack on this Pug, and on humans, they need to be seized and destroyed. Blame it on whoever you want to, but these dogs would never be adoptable.

Remember when Burt Case defended himself in the street when accosted by a marauding pack of pit bulls using only a clip board? THAT was epic.

Correct. Every breed of dog can bite. But no breed bites like a pit bull. If a lab bites you, it won’t crush bone. A pit bull will.

I had an ex-girlfriend who had an especially vicious chihuahua that attacked me and tore the hell out of a good pair of socks. I kicked his little ass into the next room. Had no more trouble from the vicious dog but lost the girl. End of story.


A pit bull might have been different.

Sounds like a wonderful opportunity for an up-and-coming lawyer to start calculating damages. By the looks of the pictures provided, Pugsy had many good, good years of life left to spend with owner.

With all the dogs and broken fences in Jackson, someone can really carve out a nice little practice on animal cannibal cases like this.

Nothing says, " white trash", like a pit bull.

I'm a dog lover. Having said that, help me understand why I/We/You see so may pits chained to trees in front yards. Not only do we see them in person, but in photos on the internet. If they're so docile, what's up with the heavy chains? Oh, wait...these are sweet babies who were just poorly trained, right?

@KF

England?

I have parakeets & they can get pretty nasty flying around flinging poo-poo all over the walls. They act like they own my home. So, I can safely say parakeets are more nasty than dogs or cats.

Republican dog people are the biggest hypocrites. Why feed and house a different species when there are humans who need our help now right here in Mississippi.

3:44 Sounds like that would work... but why would you post it here for everybody? Why wouldn't you be 'big' and keep it to yourself... and your personal confidants?

If a menacing dog gets in my yard and I feel threatened his immediate future will be determined by how quickly he leaves compared to how fast I can get to a safe position to shoot. Anyone who loves their dog should take adequate care of them and that includes keeping them well fenced in. And for anyone opposed to shooting an aggressive dog pepper spray will usually send them running home but you must get within a few feet of them and the wind can blow the spray into your own face.

BTW, this Pitt Bull reality TV program is as lame brained as the rest of 'Reality TV.' Will we see a group demanding the protection of snapping turtles soon?

The law clearly states what the police should do about vicious dogs and they did not.
Who enforces the law when the law won’t ?
If there is a vicious dog ordinance on the books Pugsley owners could press charges, and I hope they do.
They may save someone’s pet or heaven forbid a child.

3:44, leave out broken glass mixed in with hamburger meat? You (and your neighbor) are subhuman pieces of shit. I hope someone does that to you.

Another near disaster by a dog running loose.

A pit bull killed my Jack Russell 3 years ago in our neighborhood in flowood. Owners were terrible people.

@ 3:30pm
Is the Rhodesian Ridge Back an African bred dog or was it some imported animal? Just curious.

Do any of you remember the small boy that was drug into the pit bull's doghouse and killed in South Jackson? It was dusk and children were playing in the yard while adults visited, if I remember right. Probably about 10 or 12 years ago. Still makes me sick to think about. You can defend pit bull's all day, and it won't bring this child back. Many instances have occurred with this breed and people just don't listen.

BTW, Kingfish, "The owner paid..." Which owner? The pug's owner or the pit bull's owner?

Here is the Hinds County ordinance that deals with this:
https://www.dogsbite.org/pdf/ms-hinds-county-pit-bull-ordinance-2010.pdf

Maybe the owner has a special permit... but I doubt it.

We live in Jackson, and sadly, you need to understand, you are on your own here. Do not expect any government services, on any level, or you will be bitterly disappointed.

On several occasions, we've had neighbors who let their vicious dogs roam. One very large bully mix threatened me in my own yard. Another attacked my elderly dog (who'd just had surgery) in my own yard. Both owners were warned in NO uncertain terms NOT to let their dog get on my property again. Both reappeared on my property within 24 hours after said warning. Neither has ever been seen again...

This is an owner issue, not a dog issue, but do what you must to protect you and yours. It sounds like the owner in this case actually has assets, so MAKE. HIM. PAY. He obviously doesn't care about you, but maybe he'll care about keeping his money. Do it before some kid gets mauled and bit in the face.

Good luck.

I haven't looked it up in 15 years - are dogs still considered chattel under Mississippi law? If so, not much damage here except the cost of replacing a pug and maybe vet bills.

Might as well add German Shepherds too. I find it disgusting when pet owners regurgitate the old saying that their fur baby is harmless. Harmless while the owner is present should be the emphasis.

Call me a sadist, but if a pest is using your yard as a personal toilet then it deserves a glass burger. If it bites someone it should be exterminated immediately.

This piece of “journalism” is one of the sickest, most disgusting works I have ever read. It reflects the hopelessly ignorant and ill-informed, backward thinking of most of the state of Mississippi, dominated by precepts accepted as truth by Farm Bureau and a constituency that elects politicians that they deserve. A number of years ago, the comedian Jerry Lewis shared that his greatest joy would come from flying over Mississippi while urinating. This column has now made his case, and I applaud it!

83%of all human fatalities from dog attacks are pit bulls. Most of the rest are Rottweilers

3:44 PM, in my extended family, there was a woman from a prominent family in Cuba. She had a much better recipe for "Hamburger Surprise" than yours. Along with the hamburger and lightbulb, mix-in some RAT POISON. This causes the intestinal bleeding to be far more intense, since the rat poison is an anticoagulant. I think her grandfathers used "Hamburger Surprise" on slaves or political prisoners. But she used it on the neighbors' dogs.

9:12 PM, this is the story you were asking about. https://blog.dogsbite.org/2008/07/2008-fatality-mississippi-3-yboy-killed.html The sickest part is that, AFTER the child was found dead beside the dog, and AFTER the dog charged at Law Enforcement officers, it was "held for evaluation, to decide whether it posed a threat".

Does this count as a blessing for the trio?

What is the street number for the house on Parkway Drive where that pack of pits live so I can be sure to avoid it in the future?

Pit bulls are a kind and loving breed, especially around children, UNTIL THEY'RE NOT.

Snowflake alert at 8:34. I suppose they could never understand a time comes in a dads life where he has to handle the neighbors pit bull himself. Oh well like they say if you don’t catch shit for doing your job you aren’t doing it right.

Good God, the internet heroes, keyboard commandos, out in force.

Ground glass doesn't do shit to dogs or human. It's been proven ineffective since 1642. I'd be the first to shoot a vicious dog, but spare us your bullcrap fake heroics.

Here, a JAMA article from 1918. One hundred years ago.

December 28, 1918
THE EFFECT OF "GROUND GLASS" ON THE GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT OF DOGS
JAMES S. SIMMONS, M.D. (Philadelphia); WILLIAM C. von GLAHN, M.D. (Baltimore)
JAMA. 1918;71(26):2127-2128. doi:10.1001/jama.1918.02600520013006

Not a single case found of actual harm.

Another science site:

"In 1642, the writer and physician, Sir Thomas Browne, described in his book, Pseudodoxia Epidemica, how he tested this myth on dogs – and how he debunked it. (I guess he didn’t have to deal with a Grants Committee or an Ethics Committee). He wrote, “That Glass is poison, according unto common conceit, I know not how to grant … from experience, as having given unto Dogs above a dram thereof, subtilly (sic) powdered in Butter and Paste, without any visible disturbance”.

More recently, in 1916, a poisoner in New York City testified that he had tried to use ground glass to kill people, but that it had proved to be useless.

Since then, many people have written about this supposed toxicity of ground glass, but probably the nicest summary comes from Dr. D. P. Lyle, who wrote the enticingly-entitled Forensics for Dummies. In another of his books, Murder and Mayhem, A Doctor Answers Medical and Forensic Questions for Mystery Writers, he answers the ground glass conundrum.

He writes that “very fine glass is unlikely to cause any lethal damage to the Gastro Intestinal tract … Even with coarser glass, the bleeding would probably not be massive or life-threatening, but slow and (would) lead to anaemia and fatigue.”

But, but, heh heh, mah "Poor Man James Bond" tol' me......

As a forensic scientist wrote, if you want to kill someone with glass, you better use a broken bottle.

10:34. He didn’t say to ground up glass for poison he said to break it up to I guess incur internal bleeding. Typically you don’t want to just shoot pit bulls as their owners are sketchy types and you want to be anonymous in your killing. Nice book though. Don’t be mad I didn’t read it all
