The anti-Pit Bull hate group DogsBite.org has recently put out a “call to action” in response to something meant to spread happiness and good will. Surprised? Me neither.
Founder Colleen Lynn wants everyone to go after the United Nations, not for anything that they’ve actually done politically, but for opting to put the smiling face of a Pit Bull-mix on 1 of their 6 stamps that are being created for the 2014 International Day of Happiness. What a crime! Not only will the dog be featured on 1 of the stamps, but that particular stamp was also chosen to be on the cover of the holiday’s promotional brochure… Choices which have caused dog-hating individuals such as Lynn to shit blocks of red ceramic material generally used for mortar construction.
They say this choice “offends” victims of dog mauling incidents and, get this, promotes dog fighting. How? Well, first it’s simply because any dog that even remotely looks like a Pit Bull was chosen. God forbid. Never mind the indisputable fact that millions upon millions of these dogs exist, and that they are all individuals, 99.9% of which have never harmed anyone. But further, apparently the DBO hate group has also taken issue with how the picture has been tinted blue and red, to go along with the dog’s white coat (um, American Pit Bull Terrier = United States = red, white and blue?). Colleen Lynn claims that the placement of the red represents a blood “stained chest” and that the glorification of the dog’s happy face represents the “very emblem of immoral cruelty,” an “obscene” choice.
Honestly, what kind of freak can see ^that image and think that it promotes dog fighting and killing? Colleen Lynn can! That’s who.
So in response Lynn has begun begging her followers to start emailing the UN obscene images of victims, as a way to vilify all dogs deemed, by her, to be Pit Bulls. Verifying what picture represents what doesn’t matter in the slightest, so long as it’s bloody and gruesome. Exploitative much? Incredible. Wait, weren’t we just talking about what was offensive and obscene? Yeah, that’s what I thought. This irony only registers with those who are rational. But okay.
Point is, they want the stamp stopped before it begins to circulate. They want to throw their fit, attempt to dumb everyone down, attempt to ignore public safety, attempt to evasively misrepresent millions of dogs, and attempt to relay their message of “non-obsceneness” by continuing to embrace the bottom of the barrel philosophy of being eternally obscene.
To counter this wicked effort, please contact these same individuals from the UN and let them know how much you appreciate the beautiful choice:

This is the sweetie cake of a dog, her name is Macy. She was a shelter dog that was deemed “not appropriate for adoption” at a kill pound in California. This oftentimes happens to dogs simply because of how they look, or their breed, and having nothing at all to do with their actual temperament.
Macy was thankfully rescued, fostered, and then ultimately adopted by the same person that decided to foster her. Now she happily lives out her life as a lap dog. It’s a great story.
I had never considered myself a Pit Bull person, and if I were honest, they scared me a little. However, Macy completely blew my stereotypes and preconceptions out of the water. The thing Macy loves above all else is human interaction and attention. The main takeaway is, please everyone, just give them a chance — pitties and other shelter dogs alike. That’s really all they need.
The inclusion of a rescued shelter dog, Pit Bull or not, to represent a day promoting happiness is a huge honor that is absolutely deserved.
There’s medication available for the kind of paranoid delusions exhibited by CL and her rabid followers…
…I think she needs education, not medication. Her site seems to be another version of http://www.westborobaptistchurch.org and does nothing but spread hate and fear. My vicious pit-bull mix dog is about to receive another round of horrible abuse from me, and all she does is roll over and beg for more. My abuse consists of giving her treats (none made anywhere further away than my kitchen), giving her belly rubs, petting her, stroking her fur and giving her lots of ear kisses. She’s been tolerating this abuse for three years now, and I’m hoping for at least another decade of spoiling her with walks and car rides and…
I sent emails to each address thanking them for choosing the beautiful Macy as the face of happiness.
you know there’s only actually about 15 people in dogsbite.org…. each has about 10 aliases. Anything that pushes their collective button is a GOOD thing. Enjoy their distress.
That’s what I said in my email to the U.N. They have nothing but time to send emails over and over and over.
Colleen:
The silver lining is that long after your intolerance, discrimination and absolutely disdainful points of view are exhausted. These dogs, the breed line, and their loving owners will remain.
Your point of view is as backward as the racist points of view we are fighting to eliminate today. Know, your going to lose this battle.
Love them. Wish we had them here. Maybe one day we will have some stamps with theseaamazing animals. As for dogsbite.org…I am beginning to think they are also members of Westboro church. Nothing but hate and ignorance.
I wouldn’t put it past em , you’re probably on to something.
I think the people in the dogs bite group are the ones who need the rabies shots.
Nothing surprises me about that hot mess named Colleen. I mean, she encourages her “cult” to harass victim’s families for crying out loud.
Hate is a Shameless condition.
Just like the Westboro Baptists.
Colloon is bats___ crazy, and has an interesting history. Prior to kicking off her DBO website for the “education and advocacy for dogbite victims” (only pitbull victims need apply, all others are harassed off the site)she was a telepsychic. She even wrote a book about dreams as I recall. I found it for sale at Amazon. Her website is one giant advertisement for ambulance chasing attorneys looking to cash in on tragedies. No one publishing on that site or the venomous offshoots (Maul Street, Craven Desires….Sounds like bad porn, doesn’t it?)has any knowledge or authority on dogs. They all use the same debate technique, basically calling one who questions anything they say a lying pitnutter because they don’t have any facts to actually back up whatever they say.
Hate Groups are expanding and more and more prevalent Every Day. If there’s SOME Group or Minority they can Assault, they’ll go full-throttle like the Xenophobic-Cowards that they all really are!
It’s a shameful condition to acknowledge one is part of the same species as these projecting, self-loathing ignoramuses.
Hang in there, Lil’ Bullies. Hang in there. The Goose-steppers will be met.
As other, more eloquent posters have already stated, it’s not the pedigree of the Dog that is the real problem, it’s the “pedigree” of the mongrels who took this breed because of it’s look and size and, through systematic abuse and cruelty, turned some of them into terrified and therefore, unpredictable and dangerous animals. Any one of us could be turned into a savage if pushed far enough and cruelly enough. There but by the grace of God go I! It doesn’t make us inherently evil any more than it does this breed.
The damage, unfortunately, has been done and will take time to undo, but undone it must be! It starts with each one of us doing what we are doing here!
Some people are just so narrow minded and ignorant, it’s unbelievable. Any breed of dog can bite and be taught to fight… these are learned actions. Good and responsible owners parent good dogs! I definitely will purchase these stamps, and as a pitbull owner myself I’ll smile about it when I do.
