Friday Hound Blogging

You know, this recession is never going to end until government gets out of the way of those intrepid entrepreneurs that made this country great in the first place. We're talking about people like Dan and Sarah Zenner who have seen the path to prosperity but are being held back by big government socialists determined, it seems, to stomp on economic green shoots wherever they find them.

Well, don't take this lying down Mr. and Mrs. Zenner. Remember what made this country great! Remember what American are made of! Remember the Alamo! Remember the Maine! Remember to fill out that application for the high school equivalency course!
The Zenners contend the board acted in a "judicial capacity" by upholding Dubuque County Zoning Administrator Anna O'Shea's decision that greyhound kennels are not a permitted use in A-1 agricultural districts. Dubuque County's zoning code states kennels are permitted as long as they don't house animals "not normally associated with domestic enjoyment." The Zenners claim greyhounds fall under the umbrella of domestic animals.
Boo Yah! You tell 'em Zenners! What better "domestic enjoyment" is there than to head out to the race track on a Saturday night, step over the drunks and avoid the drug dealers and people mumbling about aliens, and enjoy an evening of losing the rent money two dollars at a time? And what kind of domestic animal could be more domestic than a greyhound? We mean, what do you think this is, Kansas?

And not only that, the business community is dying for more kennels to open right, Patti Doyle?
Patti Doyle, spokeswoman for Twin River, has said the slots parlor loses $10.5 million a year from greyhound racing. The bankruptcy filing came as Twin River’s owners struggled to repay $500 million in debt. “(Dog racing has) been a losing proposition for many, many years. It’s not an area of the business that we can sustain,” Doyle said. “We’re going to see it come to an end for this year, but there’s a lot that needs to be decided in terms of the future of greyhound racing.”
Yeesh, way to be a gloomy Gus Ms. Doyle. Nothing like overstating the case, huh Mr. Sullivan?
The New Hampshire Attorney General's office has cleared John Sullivan, the president of the bankrupt Hinsdale Greyhound Park, whom betters accused of stealing money.
There, see? There's plenty of money to be made in greyhound exploitation...erm...racing. No need to be crooked about it. It takes a fine upstanding citizen businessman like Mr. Sullivan to show us that anyone with a good head on his shoulders and an eye for opportunity can make it in this racket. Kudos to you Mr. Sullivan on being cleared of these bogus charges and this unsubstantiated smear against your character. What's next for you sir?
The Keene Sentinel reports a bankruptcy trustee continues to investigate a multimillion-dollar land deal Joseph Sullivan made before the bankruptcy. The trustee is also looking at loans Sullivan took from the track.
Oh it's so obvious what you're doing Mr. Bankruptcy Trustee. You're jealous. You just can't stand it that Mr. Sullivan is a doer and not some desk jockey like you. It just grinds you that he's going to make a success of himself, like Rusti Price.
The Oasis Hotel, a luxury corporate and leisure travel property, is scheduled to open at VictoryLand Greyhound Park in Shorter on Nov. 1 "The Oasis Hotel will be a state-of-the-art lodging and/or meetings option for corporate and leisure travelers and groups in the growing Montgomery area, or anyone traveling on I-85," said Rusti Price, the hotel's general manager."Gaming enthusiasts can enjoy the activities at VictoryLand, as well as the many nationally known attractions in Montgomery, Tuskegee and Auburn. The hotel will be at an upscale service level with luxurious bedding, large-screen TV's, and 24-hour guest room dining."
See? See? It's the Zenners and the Sullivans and the Prices that are going to bring this country back from recession. These people are walking prosperity makers folks. Nothing attracts people who eat cat food three times a week and collect cans so they can save up two dollars to bet on a dog like upscale service level with luxurious bedding, large-screen TV's, and 24-hour guest room dining.

And what about the area? The many nationally known attractions in Montgomery, Tuskegee and Auburn such as the...uh...well...there's the...um. OK we'll get back to you on that, but finally the truckers going up and down I 85 are going to have a comfortable place to come down off their pills. It's a win win right Buddy?

Buddy is a little on the shy side. He’s very playful with toys; he will throw a toy up and bark at it. He’s friendly, but he takes a little time to trust you. When he is alert one ear stands straight up and the other one folds over. Buddy would do well in a home that has older children, 10 and up and he would do best with other dogs. He would do well in a working family home. He needs a patient family, who will help him to blossom. For more information about this dog, and other rescued racing greyhounds looking for homes, go here. If you don't know about the plight of racing greyhounds go here.

Most of the time, greyhound farms are able to hide behind the classification that the dogs are livestock and therefore not subject to humane standards that apply to other dogs. This exemption has come back to bite the Zenners.

"Zenners". "Sullivans". " Prices"....what is in a name?
Let me tell you all that I know.
I adored Dr. Jean Dodds. Why? It certainly was not her name. It was what she did with it. I don't care that she used these beautiful Greyhounds for blood, saving dogs Nationally, when she did it. She did it and while doing it, saved 800 to 1,000 Greyhounds who could have been thrown to alligators; could have been thrown to each other; could have been dumped like in Alabama, shot beaten, starved. The stories are quite endless. But, that is not my reason for speaking now. I am just physically sick. Physically sick that a "human mind" can think of the absolute destruction of a beautiful canine like the Greyhounds; who barbarians, and many from the NGA, have the absolute criminal tendencies to "dispose" of any Greyhound, anytime and by whatever means they damn well please. And how is that? The people have spoken! They don't want Greyhound Racing! They want it banned because it is, quite simply, cruel and degrading and violent!
But , the "beauty" of so many NGA members is that they are hooked up to all the politicians. We know who they are. We have documented cases of the abuses from here to Argentina! But the real sadness of all of this is that as I speak, dogs are being killed, and in any way that is most efficient and secret. You see. All these people do know it is wrong. They do know it is illegal. They are performing crimes. But they have always gotten away with it and they feel entitled to continue to get away with it. And why not? Nobody has ever stopped them.
Until now.
And so, with the "Confessions of the Greyhound Rescuer" on Jack Swint's "The Killing Fields of Chapmanvillle, West Virginia", I have finally understood that anyone, anywhere, associated with Greyhound Racing must be brought to Justice.
"Mark" said it well, even if in hiding. So, to make this a little shorter than I really care to, thank you to all the" Marks" and the"The Confessions of a Greyhound Rescuer" . It brings me back to Dr.
Jean Dodds, who somehow, is being penalized for all her "good works" with the Greyhounds. I can guarantee you this. Whoever is doing this to Dr. Jean Dodds, I would run to the nearest island in the Pacific because we like Jean Dodds. You see, she was the first one who introduced millions of us to this sweet and gentle soul known since Egyptian times as the loyal, submissive, Greyhound. You can take blood from them and they will still kiss you in return.
Remember that. Because we are remembering you.

What I have heard is that they "starve" the Greyhounds until they are ravenous.
It also drives them quite "insane" and hence you have so many despicable names like "Frenzy Fred" and Frenzy Freda", whatever.
These criminals have to pay. Society is paying everyday with hoods getting away with this torturing, caging, slaughtering of dogs and they probably beat their wives when they go home just to compare the "thrill".
If these people do not go to jail, and forever ,after their supposed crimes, it sure says something about America. (like who is really running the "Land")
Guns, violence and bilking not to mention tax evasion, the party is has to stop!
God only knows what else this gambling garbage dabbles in, and probably because it all comes together, drugs and prostitution is the same institution as all the rest.
Put them all away and for good!

It's amazing that "Buddy" is just a little on the "shy side".
What that Greyhound Racer has gone through, he has nerves of steel.
He was never, ever, anybody's "Buddy" .
Look at the true racing names. It's enough to make a grown man break down and cry.

There was something on TV a couple of years ago. The shooting of Greyhounds and the constant execution of losers.

I am going to try and find the top ten books associated with serial killers and how they started on their road to murdering people. (Most started killing animals, and torturing, maiming, etc)
Isn't that just absolutely "amazing"?

Of course, the NGA gets to hide behind "employment" but then again, all this bilking and checks missing and hundreds of millions of dollars, kaput?

What has that got to do with "employment"?

Anonymous said...

I am just joining this list but I will tell you that supposedly 10% of women are serial killers.
For the past three decades, the majority of them have used SIDS as a cover-up for killing their own children.

I have been watching this with great interest.
I saw Jack Swint's Earl Ray article and have seen someone with the "fun facts" but the following are not "fun facts". These are about serial killers who started off abusing animals, and they killed rapidly after that.

1. Edward Emil Kemper 111- he was killing cats and dismembering them into tiny pieces and would put their heads on poles- he ended up doing the exact same thing to his Mother...head on pole- tiny pieces.

2. Albert Salva-better known as the Boston Strangler-
he started off trapping dogs and cats then shooting them with arrrows

3. David Berkowitz- murdered 13 people - he used to abuse neighborhood dogs and finally shot one because he thought the dog was "an evil force"

4. Ted Bundy- convicted of murdering two people but suspected of killing 40. He used to watch his father torturing animals during his childhood. He finally started to do it himself.

5. Andrew Cunanan- killer of VERSACE- he was suspected of killing five people- he started to torture crabs and would light their eyes with matches and watch them sizzle- he would then, let them go.

Greyhound Racing anybody?

I sure as hell want to know the true psyche of Ear Ray after having TWO parents that are BOTH criminals!
Honestly, we should be able to sue the hell out of whoever put that big, fat thug in power. He has probably killed hundreds of thousands of animals, through torturing, along with his parents, Freda and Earl Ray, Sr. That's more than half a century of mutilations. Horrific!

I want to know what kind of "boy" BRENT" is.
What kind of Mother permits her only child to be witness to "THE KILLING FIELDS OF CHAPMANVILLE, WEST VIRGINIA" ?
Joanne Tomblin is in "Education"?
This is the sickest "family" ever.
Thank God there is only one and hopefully, he'll get a lot of psychiatric help.
The parents?
Fry them.

Anonymous said...

I'll tell you what.
Governor Manchin has a daughter that supposedly never earned her "degree" and that it was "paid for".
Meanwhile, you have the son of Earl Ray Tomblin, "Brent" ,probably participating in mutilations of wildlife and probably participating in the killing of Greyhounds.

One is the Governor of West Virginia.
The other is the President of the Senate, of West Virginia.

You call this "Proud to be American"?

Greyhound Racing is in most of the poor and backward states.
It's in the poorest of countries.
The uneducated grab onto this as a free meal ticket.
They do not care of animal suffering.
Drugs are involved.
They put it into the dogs and into themselves.
It's all white trash.

Attention class:
These are CRIMINALS.
CRIMINALS think differently from me and you.
THEY INTENTIONALLY and INHUMANELY KILL ANIMALS and TORTURE WILDLIFE.
We need a permanent Psychiatrist on this blog. You cannot find the switch if you don't know what wall it's on.
THIS WALL IS ICE. Ever heard of the "ICEMAN"? They all are hit-men in Racing. They go for the INCOME, stupid. They have no EMPATHY. They have no BRAIN PATH transmitting FEELINGS.
These people feel NOTHING. They are DEAD. They also lack human emotions for REAL human interaction and contact. Their relationships are "questionable". They are NOT deep. They just go through "the motions".

And all you boys from the South know about that, with all your racism and your sexism and your beating up of dogs and wildlife.
Mike Vick had a better time in prison because he was not only "fit" he was revered for his athletics. You and bloated inbreds like you will be so despised and so cornered in jail, I give you max, a month before you are weeping like a true little girl.

There is already going to be huge problems for this kid (Brent) and who knows how many millions of others because of all this intentional torturing of animals and killing and execution of Greyhounds. Society is already paying for the destruction of our youth through drugs and guns that are coming in and being made by the shipload. What we do not need is ingraining the "joy" of pain and misery on top of all this. That is true obliteration of all we have done to make America "beautiful".
Get rid of the CORRUPTION. A new universe prevails.It must be done and fast and furiously.

You are absolutely right. We are not going to let this story of "CHAPMANVILLE KILLING FIELDS, WEST VIRGINIA, and the connection to the NATIONAL GREYHOUND ASSOCIATION, go.
It is going to be in major newspapers and thank God.
