Friday Hound Blogging

Hey! This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no fooling around.  You animal rights wackos have really stepped in it this time. You blow into a state in your Priuses (Priuii?) find an inhumane sport that is dying anyway and proceed to get all righteous on the buttocks of those poor unskilled, heartless sorry excuses for human beings that are only trying to suck a meager existence off the backs of innocent animals.

Umm...we mean you've been picking on the overlords. Well, if you'll forgive the pun, every dog has its day as they say, and brother, those black souled, empty eyed, slack jawed, parasites on the greyhound breed are about to do some serious barking.

Er...we mean the industry has decided to take their fight to court.
The owners of a Lynn kennel that trained greyhounds to race claim in a lawsuit against the state that their constitutional rights were violated when Massachusetts banned dog racing.
 Oh it is so on. How you like us now you Birkenstock wearing, green tea sipping, PBS watching busy bodies? Bet you didn't see that part in the Constitution that says we have the right to injure and kill animals for profit. Thomas Jefferson himself wrote that.

Head industry talker guy Doug Pizzi, in an attempt to convince the kennel owners to keep him on the payroll, tells The Boston Globe that the referendum "took people’s property away without any compensation." When asked to cite examples of the government confiscating any land, buildings or animals Pizzi replied that he was pretty sure someone had taken his jacket. "I left it on the chair when I went to the bathroom and when I came back it was gone."

Ha. A clear case of government overreach. Open and shut don't you think Nikki?


Nikki is fun and puppy-like. She is affectionate – she will bring you toys or rub against you for attention. She loves playing with toys and will bring all the toys from the toy box to her bed and then take them back. She is funny and is a quick learner. She likes to play ball. Nikki would do well in a working family home that could let her out mid day, or with someone who is home more often. She is good with other dogs and well-mannered children. She would do well in a family that will include her in their daily activities. She needs to live in a single family home, because she can be vocal when left home alone.  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.

One of the early hurdles the ballot initiative had to overcome was to be evaluated by MA's secretary of state, William Galvin, who ascertained that the question did not constitute an illegal taking. When MA citizens first voted on banning dog racing, in 2000, there were twice as many GH tracks nationwide than there are now. It is absurd to think that this "sport" has a viable future in the USA, and absurd to sue the state. If the O'Donnells, who own the kennel, thought their industry had a future, they could still be training dogs there, then sending them to race in the states that still allow it. The large parcel of land on a state route on the Lynn/Saugus line is the site of run-down kennels in which over 80 dogs died in a fire because there was no sprinkler system. It will surely net the O'Donnells a tidy sum when they develop or sell it, if they haven't already done so.

Doug Pizzi? Yet one more time?
The guy is a born loser!
I see a billion pizza parlors, twirling, a zillion t-shirt stalls, by flea markets and by highways, and a total shitload of candy bar vending machines, some working, some not, just like Pizzi.
I am certain Doug Pizzi might be able to do what he does best with all of them. "Manipulate".
Afterall, if he forced helpless dogs into utter slavery and torture, this Italian, "Faker-Taker- Tri-State Shaker"
can back a junk-filled, sugar-coated, and preservative-punched candy bar like no other!
His experience?
Look at "Da Man"!
As someone already stated, Doug Pizzi didn't get "cuffed" enough.
Maybe Mike Vick would like to show him the bruises.
That is something Pizzi will get.

Personally, I think Doug Pizzi is perfectly set up for "Pizzi's Pizza".
Now, if they already know who he is, there might be some jokes going around, like:
A. Pizzi is now pissing pizza?
B. Pizzi is no longer "prized"?
C. Isn't he the fat dude sucking Snickers?

Did we ALL get that straight?

"COMPENSATION"?

You know, there are a lot of people suing a lot of people for a lot less than what Doug Pizzi did to thousands of Greyhounds.... such as:
1. MAIMING
2. POISONING
3. PARALYZING
4. ELECTROCUTING
5. BREAKING NECKS AND BACKS AND BONES
6. INTENTIONAL EXECUTIONS OF LOSERS AND HANDICAPPED

Doug Pizzi...the next time you go to the Globe and "whine" to your "Mama"...tell her she forgot to give you a conscience.

Doug Pizzi, the "blowback" from all the dead Greyhound Racers you killed shall be fired from

Can you now guess your very own "star" who will "finger you"?

Listen:
There are some very lovely Italian people and then there are some that aren't.
Guccione and Pizzi immediately come to mind, as those who are, quite simply, disgusting.
And they both just seem to not get enough of news articles portraying this inhumane treatment of Greyhounds across America.
"Handlers". "Presidents".
You can call yourselves what you want. But we, the people who respect and truly love these beautiful hounds will see you both, and those uneducated that you represent, at Kansas King.
And Greyhound Tracks, around the world, will end because of Kansas King's true depiction of all its cruel and blood-thirsty reality.

Doug Pizzi don't wanna be in the movie!
Don't matter if he can get on "Hollywood Sqaures" or even "Howdy Doody"!
If Doug don't wanna hunt, Doug, ex-dawg, Pizzi, ain't gonna hunt!
And if Doug Pizzi could spin the pages of time, he'd of liked to been Al Capone! THE dawg.
So, you can say what you wanna say but Doug Pizzi, the once "handler" of workmen (or uneducated dogs) or better known as "Prime Crime Time on a Dime" is thankfully, and once and for all, kaput!
(Doug...you can always mop up after "the shoots".)

Is Doug Pizzi involved with the goings on in Tri-State and all the fraud associated with it?
What is happening with that investigation and is Doug Pizzi, along with his other affiliations in Greyhound Racing, being questioned?
Thanks to anyone who knows.

There are internal investigations.
As was stated much earlier, the FBI, CIA and DEA are all involved.
This is why the movie will be made. Info does get leaked, one way or another. And the last I heard, the script is done. All these politicians, senators, etc., are "toast".
The Tracks and all their blatant crimes will be vividly depicted. Greyhound Racing, worldwide, will end.
And gluttons, like Doug Pizzi, will be thoroughly despised.

Have you all just read GREY 2K's NEWS? It's utterly atrocious.
The Politicians and Senators and now the GOVERNORS, are all in for the "cruelty of Greyhound Racers".
Listen up GOVERNOR BOB RILEY!

GREY2K IS AN INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENA AND IT HAS BEEN FOR YEARS.
UNLIKE YOU "PEOPLE" SCAMMING AND PLAYING FOR VOTES, WE, GREY2K'S MEMBERS, WORLDWIDE, ARE ALL WATCHING.
WE ALL FEEL FOR THESE DOGS BEING TAKEN DOWN FOR MONEY, POLITICS, GAMBLING, WHORES AND NOW, ACCORDING TO THE BIRMINGHAM NEWS, DRUGS! (COCAINE!)

Governor Bob Riley....for shame!
To uphold a viscious sport to maintain contraband of all sorts and torturing these lovely Greyhounds in the process, we are now asking what is YOUR agenda?
Grey2K and all it represents is honesty.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

We hope it does not take the Hollywood movie,
"KANSAS KING"
for all criminals to finally
"see the light"!

Bob Riley?
Governor of Alabama?
We all want to ask you if you never heard of your "Alabama 3000"?
You know what that is?
You know what happened in your state?
Let us refresh your memory.
It's about the more than 3,000 Greyhound "dogs" that were executed after they broke legs, were blinded, had spines snapped, etc., or simply enough, did not win the "race".
You know what most of civilization calls "Greyhound Racetracks" don't you?
Cruel.
Unsophisticated.
Outdated.
For the uneducated.
Specifically,geared for the criminal activities.
Bob Riley, Alabama, Governor...you are a "Christian"?
You profess "decency"?
Outlaw it like the rest of America with a heart.
Otherwise, you, also, may be in "KK".

There are already several songs for "Kansas King" singing the ugliest of criminals involved in Greyhound tortures.
Ask Bob Riley, Gov. of Alabama, if he has heard of the "whirligigs"?DOUG PIZZI sure has!
But maybe, BOB RILEY, ALABAMA GOVERNOR does not "GIVE A DAMN"!
If so, we do have a song being made for you.
It's title?
"SMILEY RILEY".

So, we have talked DOUG PIZZI, BOB RILEY, and now TRAFICANT?
And the connection?
PRETENSE!
Pretending to be right when you are all so very wrong.
Pretending to feel for the "underdogs" when in fact you feel only for yourselves.
PRETENSE!
Do you guys realize how strong "fake" makes it on a Hollywood screen?
And then you get a DeNiro or a Mickey O'Rourke playing "fake you".
WHOA!
There goes all that "credibility, boys!

Ask Governor Riley if he has "a dog".
Ask Governor Riley how many friends he has that have "a dog".
Ask Governor Riley how many voters have "a dog".
If Governor Riley has a brain, he'll re-think it.
And if Governor Riley does not re-think it and ban Greyhound Racing, maybe he just might remember Romney's downfall when he threw his "dog" , as a "convenience" on his car roof.
You know how many peeople who own "dogs" were horrified when they heard that?
Probably half of America.
Because half of America owns "a dog".
Imagine the "blowback" for supporting prostitution, cocaine, meth, steroids, torture and execution of all these beautiful Greyhounds.
When innocent "dogs" are not only harmed and suffer intensely and intentionally, just to promote OTHER illegal activities, what kind of "Politics" do you play?
You have , "sir", indeed forgotten "the Bible".

Let's be frank.
by now, Governor Bob Riley of Alabama has received hundreds if not thousands of emails regarding the atrocities of Greyhound Racing due to the recent uncovering of cocaine use for the sheer purpose of killing them for a dollar while promoting other sordid activities. The fact Bob Riley has not had the "interest" or the "inclination" to ban Greyhound racing goes to show you being "international" like GREY2K means absolutely nothing to him He is a "folksy" kind of guy rubbing palms with his ilk. And he has zero care about what goes on behind closed doors.
You call that a "Governor"?
You call that a "Southern Gentleman"?
I call that a crime.
And the NRA is behind it!

You know what?
The South always talks about "respect" for life.
"Respect" for a more "pure vision of God".
Can someone tell me what "respect" is given to Greyhounds at racetracks?
What is the "purity" in coke administering" kennels and the tracks' filthy cages?
And where in the Bible does it say treat animals like fodder be it the whirligig live-baiting or the clubbing to death of thousands of these sweet and docile dogs?
Not only did St. Francis of Assissi show kindness to all creatures, he lived "the Word" to its very core.
GREYHOUND RACING IN ALABAMA,
BOB RILEY?

There was a time when feeling good about yourself was more than a broken dog in a steel box which fed only on cancerous meats.
There was a time when having a job taking care of this animal and all its emotional needs was reward enough with every toothy grin and lovely song the dog would make, instead of locking it into darkness.
And there was a time when a man and a woman and a child loved these dogs for their swiftness of feet, brilliance in turns and clever mastering of its ever-changing environment instead of being exterminated by guns.
But of course, people did change, as well, and not only did they become hardened and cold, they became something more rough and uncivilized with each and every scam.
They named it "Greyhound Tracks" as if the dog needed a route and a "calling".
They even had the audacity to proclaim they kept the breed "intact' which of course they continually over-bred and killed on a whim, often drowning slower puppies.
And they, too often, even fed their winners, their losers.
It was "their game".
And it came cheap.
And they called this "Employment" which in itself was "a sin".
Because they kept their workers in poverty, too.
Just like the very Greyhounds they raped.
And the Parkers, the Ropers, the Gucciones, the Carneys, the Riggins, in fact, the entire "clan" of Mafia-driven mobsters, all claimed "harassment" and wanted "punitive damages" for all their very own "sufferings".
And so, with their millions of dollars made throughout their hundred years of torturing and executing "these dogs", they now wanted even more.
But we can say, very softly, "No." "No more."
Because if we do not, we, very simply, become them.
