Pit Bulls and Dog Fighting Busts: Animal Right Agencies Over Step their Authority
From Jason Mann & PitBullLovers.com
February 11th 2009
Dear Friend and Fellow Pit Bull Terrier Fancier,
I am writing you today to request that you withdraw all support for the ASPCA and HSUS. If you are donating money to these organizations please, for the love of our breed, stop right now.
There are many Pit Bull owners and animal lovers out there who willing support this organizations thinking they are doing “good works.” Sadly, these organizations are doing anything but “good works” in regards to our breed.
The HSUS has taken it upon itself to become an animal police force when in reality they do not have any legal authority to take the actions they are taking in regards to Pit Bull owners and their dogs.
With shows like Animal Cops and Miami Animal Police they are telling the viewer they are law enforcement. This is not true. In fact they do not have any legal authority at all.
Let’s take a look at a few cases where the HSUS stepped in and helped the animals.
Case #1: Floyd Boudreaux
Notorious dog fighter or victim? Actually he is both. He openly admits to fighting his dogs in the early days, when it was legal. Now though he is a famous APBT breeder and his dogs are from some of the best game dog lines out there.
Victim? Yes. Last year Floyd spent time in jail on dog fighting charges. Those charges were dropped due to the fact the authorities created false evidence. Evidence which was used to secure a warrant to raid his home and steal his dogs.
How many of his 50 plus dogs were re-homed? None. They were all put to sleep. Even the puppies. Why? No one really has given me a straight answer on this and I have asked the Louisiana ASPCA without a reply.
So Mr. Boudreaux and his son lose their dogs, whom they loved, are jailed and after the HSUS and law enforcement can’t make a case they are aquitted. It doesn’t matter, the damage is done, and the HSUS succeeded in smearing the name of a American Pit Bull Terrier fancier and steward of the breed for longer than I have been alive.
Case #2: Joe Woodall
Joe emailed me the other day and told me his story. I think it is important to share his experience here because from what I gather this is just another HSUS/ASPCA scam to steal people’s dogs and kill them without having to answer for their actions.
Mr. Woodall is fighting to get his dogs back but here is the rub. They were never charged with any dog fighting crimes but that is why their dogs were stolen.
There are many aspects to these two cases that bother me. First and foremost is lack of real evidence before the animal right organizations storm people’s homes. Second, why are law enforcement agencies allowing dogs to be taken, re-homed, or killed before anyone is charged with anything!?
My friend this is theft. Plain and simple. If I came to your home and said, “You know I think you are a dog fighter. I am taking your dogs.” Then I take your dogs, kill them, or sell them to new homes, would that be right?
No, it would be theft.
The HSUS and the ASPCA are theives who are profiting from illegal seizures of perfectly healthy animals who are well cared for and loved.
Let’s not kid ourselves. No one is a perfect angel. We all make mistakes, we all have our demons, we all have our hang ups. However that does not give the HSUS or ASPCA the right to come into a persons home, steal their property (their dogs), and sell them (adoption fees = selling a dog) or kill their dogs.
Even if someone is fighting their dogs it is still not right to steal their dogs and kill them because they say they can’t rehome them due to the fact they were used for fighting. Fighting dogs, by nature and a rule, are excellent dogs with people. And for all those lovey dovey, wishy, washy, why can’t we all get along, short bus types, who cares of a dog is dog aggressive! It doesn’t make a difference one in the grand scheme of our breed.
American Pit Bull Terriers are noble canines that deserve our respect and our love. Not our hate and contempt. Allowing anyone to come in and say, “Well you have a Pit Bull, we are going to take them now without any reason whatsoever and kill them because well, they are fighting dogs.” Is stupid and it must stop right now.
I will end this post by saying this. I am not a supporter of dog fighting. I hate it. It is a dead activity that does not belong in our society. However, I have more contempt for power hungry, law breaking, evil people like John Goodwin of the HSUS and organizations like the ASPCA than I do for dog fighters.
That’s right, these organizations are lower than the lowest animal abuser on this earth. These organizations abuse thousands of animals per day. They kill innoncent dogs and drive good people into the ground and criminalize them without ever bringing real proof they are in fact criminals. They ruin people’s good names and then they ask you for money to help support more of these actions.
As I said at the beginning of this post. If you donate to the HSUS or the ASPCA or both, stop right now.
Best Regards,
Jason, Angel, Honey and Patch

A subscriber to my newsletter, The Pit Bull Lovers Gazette emailed me from Australia with some items that you can find on their new, “Signs of Dog Fighting” list. Law makers are hitting a new low down under and frankly they are hitting them here in the States as well.
The absurd signs include:
1. Spring poles. (there’s talk of fining anyone found with a spring pole)
2. Tread mills.
3. Black kongs.
Ridiculous? I believe people pushing these insane “signs of dog fighting” lists are well, mentally challenged. Honestly, you’re going to call someone a dog fighter for having a widely popular dog toy (Black Kong). If it were not serious this would border on hysterical. But it is not funny. It is a serious problem when idiots make these lists.
The Humane Society of the United States and the puke, Wayne Pacelle who is the HSUS president also have a ridiculous list. Not only do they include treadmills on the list (watch out Cesar Milan!) they include many other common things Pit Bull owners have. Like, oh, more than one.
A direct quote for the HSUS web site reads, “Dogfighting training equipment such as rawhide or tires hanging from trees (that dogs jump up and grab onto) or treadmills.”
Quote taken from – The HSUS website
Folks, the HSUS and other organizations like them are out to take your dogs and they are using the issue of dog fighting to do as they please to Pit Bull owners.
Take the infamous Floyd Bourdeox for example. Authorities flew over his property and said they saw “treadmills and fighting pits.” They used this false information to obtain a warrant and raid his home.
The HSUS helped with this raid. The Louisana SPCA confiscated (stole!) all 57 of his dogs and put them to sleep. Floyd Bourdeox was acquitted of all charges because (A) the authorities used false information to obtain a warrant (no treadmills or fighting pits were found) and (B) since allt he dogs were killed, they had no proof these dogs were being used for fighting (I highly doubt they were).
So what happened there? The HSUS and knuckle head authorities (including the Homeland of Security!) raided a 74 year old man’s home. Took all of his dogs, killed them, pressed charges, those charges never stuck, and now what?
The HSUS called him the “GodFather of Dog Fighting.” Floyd did fight dogs when it was legal. That doesn’t make it right, that makes it, legal. This, like most of the raids on “dog fighters” is nothing more than an anti-pit bull breeder program.
“Hey, You have 10 dogs on tie outs in your yard, You’re a dog fighter!” – According the HSUS you are fighting dogs.
Keeping in mind if you are a Pit Bull owner, have more than one, own a spring pole or treadmill, and you tie your dogs out you will be targeted by some agency eventually.
Just in case people are not already brain-washed enough by the HSUS anti-Pit Bull propraganda they offer a $5,000 reward to anyone providing information on a dog fighting operation that leads to a conviction.
Directly from the HSUS site – “The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) offers a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in dogfighting or cockfighting.“
I don’t want you to take my word for it, check out the HSUS “Signs of Dog Fighting” page yourself and read how completely ridiculous most (almost all) of them are. They “signs of dog fighting” are at the bottom of the page.
http://www.hsus.org/acf/fighting/dogfight/what_you_can_do.html
Folks, these people are out of their minds and are on a mission to end pit bull ownership forever.
If you ever supported HSUS or PETA or the ASPCA, STOP RIGHT NOW.
All you are doing is helping them take your dog, my dog, and countless of Pit Bulls from owners around the nation.
Tell others, spread the word about these hate mongering idiots and their anti-pit bull agenda. After all, many people think the HSUS, PETA and the ASPCA are “friends” of animals. They are not. Unless you consider someone who would steal from you, kill your animals, and step on your rights a friend that is.

One the most frequently asked questions I receive is, “How do I stop/fight/oppose anti-pit bull laws?” Another variation of that is, “My city is considering BSL, what do I do!?”
I am happy to be able to answer that question with a single answer… You get your hands on B. Haywood’s The Pit Bull Owner’s Survival Guide and you dig into it immediately.
What is The Pit Bull Owner’s Survival Guide?
The Pit Bull Owner’s Survival Guide is just that, a survival guide for Pit Bull owner’s in the fight against BSL and anti-pit bull laws. The first thing I did when I started reading it was scan down to “How to oppose BSL, The Proactive Approach” and I loved the ideas and strategies. Why? Because they are not “reactive” like most BSL lists or whatever you are looking for. These are real world, practical, effective strategies you can use immediately.
Many Pit Bull owner’s think fighting BSL is impossible. I’m here to tell you, it’s not. One of the most important things you can have are allies. In the survival guide there is a list of who opposes BSL and who supports it. Knowing that information clears the path immediately because now you know who to support and who to avoid supporting.
B. Haywood offers a step-by-oh-so-simple-step appraoch to building a proactive approach to insuring BSL does not take hold in your area. When I say step-by-oh-so-simple-step I mean it is clearly laid out. 1-2-3-4-5, so and so forth.
What if you are living in an area that already has enacted some form of anti-pit bull law. Don’t worry you can stop holding your breath, you’re covered.
You will find the “How to Build a Defensive Strategy” section in the guide not only invaluable but liberating. I couldn’t believe how good it felt to know I had a weapon in the fight against places like Maysville, Ky (about 80 miles from my town) who recently enacted a Pit Bull ban in city limits.
I also feel outstanding because I know Pit Bull owners in that area that can really use the information The Pit Bull Owner’s Survival Guide.
Once again it is laid out in a step-by-super-simple-it-is-hard-to-mess-up-step fashion. I love that because I’m not the best at following directions.
Why do you need this resource? Simple. It is packed to the rim with years worth of real world research and active strategies to fight anti-pit bull laws.
On page 62 you will start to learn who’s behind anti-pit bull laws, their stances, and why you need to (A) remove all support from them and (B) start speaking out against these “humane” organizations.
If you are worried about keeping your dog, if you are even remotely troubled by the fact that thousands of innocent dogs are being killed or removed from their loving homes and Pit Bull owners are being forced to uproot their families and move to other locations for no other reason than they have a Pit Bull then you should get your copy of The Pit Bull Owner’s Survival Guide like yesterday.
For more information about The Pit Bull Owner’s Survival Guide click here.
There you will be able to read more about the author and the book.
Here’s to stopping BSL forever!
Until Next Time,
