66. Zero -- seven days now WW oils can create this putts there one guy. -- Hi honey.

Well I think the kids at school. Plus -- conservatives' attention being tardy. 260187866889087. They are told for goings but let's -- talking about tardiness and schools and how things are dealt with -- Weathers right -- wrong. We oppose some else into the pot now and it's kind of isn't alone stuff here. There's always been some kind of debate one way or -- about pit bulls. In England I believe they are labeled as like a dangerous animal out exactly what blameless but if you want one you gotta have a special. License and if you would take him for a stroll I don't know -- should they've got to be bombed. They've got to be muzzled now they're not the only dorks like that but they are one of the breeze that needs to be dealt with like that. And there's a pit -- societies. Grew who say it's not it's not the breed it's the older and how they raise some. And I can attest to that to a certain degree. I know people who had pit bulls pencils and some of their -- journalist -- method these these were people who raised these dogs are mean from. -- three weeks old got weaned and then were raised you know soon to be submissive to the owners and they were just just great happy talks. But I'm also seeing some big aggressive dogs to. Well anyway. Us the latest controversy about pebbles came from McDonald's apparently they have they put out an ad that angered a lot of pit bull owners. They pulled this they had to basically what they had was they said eating a chicken -- bite. Was less risky than pending a stray pit bull shaving your head naming your -- soon. Or giving friends your face were FaceBook password. And that particular ad in raised a whole lot of pit bull owners in Maine some of whom demanded this see here's a quote then. The ad was insensitive in -- mention of pit bulls we apologize. As soon as we learned of it we track the source and other local markets pulled the enemy is going. We'll do a better job next time it's never our intent to offend anyone. With how we communicate knows about McDonald's a spokesperson for McDonald's Corp. says will be as broke out on the local level. But. Back in Somalia and in. In England if this don't these this breed of dog gets labeled. Dangerous. According to the CDC. And -- one study sponsored by the US government. And the CDC was reported that 32% of all dog related killings of human beings in the United States -- calls by pupils. And -- constitute only 2% of all dogs. Seventy of those mauling death were 70% of those mauling deaths were children. So yeah. I guess what I'm asking is would you chemistry -- Should they put an alligator -- it may be that one of I would've meant a lot more sense because who's gonna patents then later ten or twelve foot straight alligator you know. They're not too many pet alligators anyway. When I demonstrate that all I know I wouldn't what I pay yours yes I would. But I don't pay any pretty much any stray dogs you know I mean as a couple of dogs that are run up and down in our neighborhood and they shouldn't because their owners know better than that. But I know those dogs are. My next door neighbor's dogs vertical wind and -- and -- that. But frankly a straight pro Bono would not -- one. Wouldn't have a -- Rottweiler although I had Rottweiler is -- I know a great dogs they are but if I don't know the -- know wouldn't I wouldn't had a straight Jack Russell -- read. And I would let my kids do. Don't -- stray animals don't do it. But would you would you kind of stray pit -- would you try to -- up had a stray. German shepherds. Is this is this -- on the line. Then they apologized for him pull the -- They came back to bite him my guests. I found it extremely offensive and reckless says Rachel is -- I go Sacramento why why would you try to promote the safety of food. Well I mean who ends don't make a lot of sense anyway. Lot of people were saying it was to put marketing playing to the media hysteria about pit bulls. Which is then there's another -- we're just asking them to promote positive pit bull imagery we're not asking for donations I don't think that should be a demand but -- are saying they should. McDonald should donate money to part two pit bull -- Two bit -- like rescue. Groups. Bomb. But one other person to say I'm pleased that they pulled the -- after their customer spoke out about it not all companies listen so closely. To their customers so I appreciate that they did and so quickly I don't do you know what. Yes they did boot and so was somebody complained about it legitimately they yanked it and a Smart and I mean. And people are trying to sell stuff that's what they're trying to do. But the question is I mean the whole thing was -- pending a stray pit bull and I got to tell -- I would do. -- would not that I don't bet -- too many stray dogs not unless they really come to you like some you know submissive dog you know on the tail down economy plunged down -- mean. Those it's sometimes is the same to look at -- probably been abuse that's why they're acting that way. You know but at least they're not running away but now I would not -- a -- pit -- I'll let my kids -- a straight -- if it was your dog or your leash. And yes that's a different story because that's a trained dog. That's a different animal altogether but pet industry people know what would you 260 winning 7866889. Zero H seven is I told reliant let's get to phones Adams and Jenner played on Adam thanks for -- BO. Aren't so I'm find Sarah little little snooty under the weather but other than I'm in good shape.

Well and join the drive home mark it as far as I'm concerned. I don't on the call taker. I mean in C and I've been on quite a few calls where. Young children and adults and the elderly have been attacked by dogs and don't know all calls that I -- pit bull. -- Most of them more as far as districts that -- But at this same time I do agree where it you know debris in the first is owner. All right you know after remembered these dogs were bred to be hunting dogs they were bred to take down bears. Lose you know large -- based.

It's it's basically because they have. Such powerful jaws like Rottweiler -- like -- stations you know. These I mean look at from from what I've read the dogs that bite most often mature Wallace. But until I was not gonna take my hand off on media may puncture my skin but it's not I'm not gonna lose a finger to what -- wallop a pit bull that you get that gives -- me.

And I am here.

German shepherd. I'm gonna lose some fingers you know.

I have it's dog in my outside of a chocolate lab pit bull mix I have looked at Beaumont. I have a Belgian now and oil which are basically miniature German Sheppard announcing those are pretty I've got to -- and ambition. And only one of the -- future is the only target ever -- in Berkeley to get. Out be out.

We -- two and the only time shall ever even nipple latches when you play in America. Well she is a grumpy old one we got from the pound and all of our dogs we adopted -- but we can't yeah yeah that's we got ours we -- rescue dog too so.

And you know both tables one -- we got at the age of chill through it and abused dump. We brought them into our poll what we got -- he weighed 35 -- old girl who would pencil and that's the key is down 95 pounds helping in fact. And you just love the -- on the other we got what she was six we sold. And we've registered to be the exact same way issues while we should carry she's sweet and I trust -- to be around my one year old aren't even. But then the other. For example in the reason I called it out walking through the neighborhood with a stray dog Australian Labrador trying to return it to the donor. And what do the neighbors a couple of streets down from me get people got out and attacked me and fish Dalton. And this dog you can tell what spread to beating. It's my dog. You know it it was muscular it was -- And it's they went straight for the dollar not for me and it just it put the put it in the death grip you know like they talk about where it goes straight for the pro. And you know it took four months to break it off to -- scenario that mean that it's our fault. And you know here I -- my arms leaving him covered in blood but not myself from that dog. But it's pretty boring it's if you want to own the dog. Well fine I don't aren't penalized since they -- have to pay a license to jump to compares to keep my dog visited. Me. I don't see what they're shouldn't be a special -- especially what people want to take -- next extreme and trained these dogs the way they do but he's.

It's already I think I mean the dog fighting is outlawed in the state sort of frankly in it if you can. You can train your dog to do tricks you can train a dog walk on his back -- you can train your dog -- to catch. You know. Go after docks with the gold shoot and if you -- or something like that. But if you train your dog to fight I'm pretty sure that's already against the law here in a state Louisiana so why would you re gonna do that unless you're trying to do suck my. I can't go against the loss sold the bottom line is here though wind -- a Jew. I mean you're walking a stray dog our -- loose dog after their owners you know now that you know that you know that pit bull. But you have to other pit bulls would you feel safe. Heading a stray pit bull that wasn't -- I mean if you had had that dog with you with a dog become a true when it come up and let's repetitive and that now.

Well of course and it's the way it's strange it's turning to be friendly toward Carter and those around and bite at the same time it's not just pebbles. No -- got a friend who has eight Dover and it doesn't like and for whatever reason but she's got two little boys and and is the biggest Teddy bear you know took them in the world but come it's like come on too strong -- too loud you know if I look like -- stepping toward them cheated a little upside and get on the edge but the -- their train.

Well and you let you know what they're also some cuckoo dogs like I gotta go here but I gotta tell you this story mean I've I've told people about how long. We had a dog and a muscle in the face and it was a one -- target dog -- English Bull Terrier and this dog. Hated it just like you said and hated me and the dog hated me. The dog hated my son the dog love my wife and my two daughters they -- but if I get anywhere near it it was start growling. And it's like -- it it was right after Katrina everybody was I -- we literally had just gotten that dog we hadn't had a two months. And then we got evacuated for Katrina and unfortunately it just spit they wouldn't visited every day but it's spent too much time and -- it up in Saint Francis -- And robot atomic got to back who knows that was -- or what but it bit my son in the my son -- even playing with the must I was playing by himself the dog bit him in the face so had to go. So -- you don't you know what my kids. Unless there's a little bitty dog. My kids don't -- stray dogs don't care what kind of dog it is. And and that's the reason why and so I understand maybe some -- more people because they love the breed and everything else in my Buell. I ain't no street pit bull -- and nor should you and nor should day now.

I mean are you get a run up and got a wild alligator.

One -- and in my youth close enough beer I would walk on what do snuck up -- it cemented in the tail but as for the patent -- know what happened sorry.

You mean it it's I don't wanna classified as a dangerous thing animal. Putted I you cannot predict it -- and not read it.

Any animal back and killed view is that dangerous and any animal that yeah I mean it's one thing that can hurt you a smaller dog that can really like. But I -- hard but a -- can literally take down. A grown man and and do serious physical damage to you it's a dangerous animal fairness and -- story.

Stay the same thing to some of the residents of New Orleans.

Well I can't say animals but you know -- frank well nearly you can reason with somebody or you try to you can't reason with a dog dogs don't speak English. Dogs Obey their masters a stray dog has no master I ain't -- no -- no thanks and our argument. Appreciate it to 67866889087. Air told relying got a bunch of calls got a bunch of -- wanna hear from all of your dot com. Thank Michael Bush totally insensitive to Tokyo to 60187. That's 8890 X seven they are told -- and a two and a spot about the story about McDonald's a McDonald's and angered pit bull owners. Because -- eating a chicken make bite -- less risky than petting a stray pit bull. Shaving your head naming your sons -- giving French -- FaceBook password. A lot of pit -- owners Carpio about that McDonald's when they found out about it they yanked the head so good for them but it's still ask the question would you bet a stray pit bull. I would -- your pit bull. If you're holding it on a leash because it's your dog but a straight -- and is a text message has a mailman. I can say that channels are just as mean as -- wouldn't -- one of those either. Below -- mud pit -- land sharks they are capable of killing. With their powerful jaws and even a nice and gently raised once have -- it's in the genes. Well people people will. Argue with that one about -- about you. Argue with you about that one by no means call me up let me dog a caller said let's go back to the phones -- seventy Josh is an entry -- and Josh thanks for Conan.

It's we'll go and yesterday. This could blow this approach shot and it's very -- the whatever happened to us but they were you. Pull up that don't of those cool Crescent City Christian or. And I'm sure there waiting for school let out an out of the blue look to the left becomes too big big giant pit bulls and there and it -- lady running out and I must say oh you're dog went that way. -- And runs and jumps into my car while I'm -- man. I couldn't believe it and then three law eight people came running out of the yard chase and now a couple of they're going all around because everything -- Specter was freaking out that all these Q did get ready to come out they got fired pebble.

You should and who you -- a pit bulls -- that is -- else a lot of times pit wall of pit -- get mistaken or other dogs of mistaken for pit bulls and gives them. And even worse rip them they already have. But anyway if five big dogs chase and me I don't care what breed they are you in the.

Aren't there -- big pupils amount. At about retirement outlook escalated would not get out workbook. Until the police came or whatever and could apparently there was some may have both dogs and they really had a hatred Obama. But three album turned out to be charitable channel. -- boot wanted to cheat just got on our content there and the other two ran away it went around a corner and ended up being one of America. Air conditioners shout them another warning. You know somebody -- just -- problems that we're very anxious to album. I did end up getting not a car and back in him down so late he would get out of mark caller go inside -- book literally an outlook. --

So -- these dogs just had some for her these two especially at against the rest kind of went along for the ride that's that's -- little there are sort of now that's that's you know what. Again but these are not stray dogs either slow -- the goodies of the neighbor's dog. But to me there would be a strength you know they around industry. So I wouldn't know it wouldn't pat I'm not the last I don't know you know you know what those don't you know dogs are when he got that they kind of you know they put the tail between their legs a little bit McConnell look up -- That's a different that's a little bit different story but -- so you gotta be careful on meaning they may be hurt and you never know.

I don't know you never know. I have been able mobile life -- I mean I trained them for the purpose of being -- it goes I didn't. You -- Clayton bush. They've mostly just protected my -- also protect the jobs site. -- felt like they have a they -- otherwise you know once I had among release like this fan all went to introduce him to a somebody they would be fine. But everybody was scared to death of whom they Obama had friends some have told them don't had to get on -- they caught the perimeter.

Yeah all you know what they're Smart dogs if they're if they're trained properly there it there are some of the smartest breed out there but again. McDonald's and know my name Clinton on principal doctor appreciate your story man who's six so what they seventy is a text message not only should you not -- stray dogs. You really shouldn't -- street kids either. Lady and exactly the same or own or non TV and dozens in person -- same but just such a classically. 260187866. Inning zero point seven as I told there are a couple of more text them back their phones. I would never pet any stray dog regardless of the breed you just never know what state that dog is in. Could be scared hungry hurt the -- jest too risky and I am an animal lover I'm an animal over to. Probably not as much -- I mean look we got a dog and a cat. And that's planning enabled little also my dog barks is strange disarming of your come up mum I don't know about -- but that's what here. Here's another one I wouldn't -- my own pit for fear she'd -- me to death but I am cautious when she gets around strangers that you got. You know what. Here's one more and then to oppose any large dog is capable of killing SR any dogs that a -- pits -- no different. True in that sense but -- have you know they just have much more powerful -- They just do. You know. What can I say -- the statistics show. Bamut a bum bum bum and -- this is from the CDC. 32%. Of -- dog related killings of human beings in the United States. Are caused by pit bull attacks. Pit -- constitute only 2%. Of all dogs and 70% of those -- deaths were children so you know. Again it it it is the breed yeah I mean it is the owner. Frankly you can teach him to be that officials but the dogs they they've got the tools they're born with a -- 26 so 170 Rick isn't Hammond I don't Rick thanks for Conan.

I I don't know and I you know just trying to trying to. And extricate myself known.

Here and it ain't in really as they went when I heard the conversation going on good dialogue but you with the humane society and you know the North Shore. It until years and and keep in mind you know what we deal without where -- which current. And in the two years we've dealt with hundreds of animal. We have honestly had blood draw blood drawn once or maybe twice. And -- surprise. The animal had hit it was to -- a week old Chihuahua pops.

that they by eight. Sure why ours are the biggest -- they bite mourn any other dog but I guess is because there's so little on Roman Oben.

You know like my my point is we dealt -- strains of almost every breeders are written and we're dealing astray you know.

And we don't know the background that he battled the industry on are any that.

Well let me ask you something because you do deal and animals. You yeah I mean you know and just show up and started deal with the -- you have training you've got like the the humane society you have. I mean dogs in general -- domesticated. Breed I mean they're domesticated species there are some that get Ferrell like cats do too but for the most part dogs are used to being around humans and when -- when I'm sitting -- quote all these numbers about how many people of the percentage of all these things -- its its. There's a could Jillian dogs and united states army dogs spend. There -- generational lives not biting people you know you're still talking about a small percentage of the actual animals that are out there that are physically go to attack yet it's just you know it's not like they got to sign on their side does says I'm an attack dog so stay away.

I mean what it would appear that the conditions. And you know.

ID tag around their neck is in their size and their power and you know you think back years ago.

What was it what was the hottest spotlight a market that was vicious they need to open look at the -- clip it and here's a -- yeah yeah oh Goldman.

And those movies back in the seventies -- those. Yeah bill Hillary over Lindsay -- doberman gang and all that stuff via.

You know -- and the other thing too is as with any breed of dog or it could put multiple greet the dog together. If they get loose in there wrong and a pack and -- turned vicious. On another animal. We're all gonna jump.

End and their that their particular.

It's just say Julie Hamilton.

So what do you suggest. Army and I'm gonna start talking stray dogs -- keep -- you know supposed to run from him. Supposed to be taller than they are supposed to make noise I mean. As a lot of stuff but I'm a grown man and I'm a big grown man on you know they got people who don't have my abilities to deal with a stray animal like that and I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna parents -- gimme gimme one good coz I gotta take a break.
