Animals

Someone ought to share their blogs (I'd volunteer mine about Vick and the atrocities that were committed there) with Chris and Jay - my first response to reading this was they could not have known what really transpired there to be that flippant on public television.  I intend to follow up on seeing that the information does get to Leno and will hope to see it addressed on the show soon ... at least an apology.  Unbelievable that it even happened.

i think they  are dumb for think it funny it not the are ment for fiighting  they are animals and need love also and dog fighting shoiud b stop .

Good job, Jennifer!

No cookies for Rock or Leno.

How is a pit bull 'not a real dog'...? This is one reason why I've never liked Chris Rock and Jay Leno; they're heartless.

UGH. Having just celebrated Pit Bull Awareness Day with several rescue groups and shelters here in Baltimore, this makes me so sick. To think I used to find Chris Rock funny. Sadly, I'm not surprised, either.

i think this is absolutely disgusting a dog is a living thing and should be treated right not mistreated. I resuced a diog from a shelther t hat was used in dog fights and giving him a good home mad me feel awesome and i love him to death. So who ever thinks dog fighting is a joke it really isnt a joke at all it is a very serious matter that is on the rise daily. So if you see something fishy dealing with dogs and it seems like they are fighting them report it and do the  right thing. thank you=]

" I HOLD THAT THE MORE HELPLESS A CREATURE, THE MORE ENTITLED IT IS TO PROTECTION BY MAN FROM THE CRUELTY OF MAN "  And that's the way it should be for all living animals out there every where in this world. A life is a life ,weather it be a animal or human. We need more lovers on this earth, not KILLERS. If we people, were animals we would want to be treated kindly and with compassion not tortured,mutilated and taught to attack one another. These dogs are born in this world not knowing any thing about killing, or about hatred like humans do. We are the reason for the horrifying acts that pit bulls are being crucified for, not because it's in their blood. But it's what they have been  trained to do when they have IGNORANT OWNERS. THEY DON"T HAVE TO BE KILLER DOGS BECAUSE THEIR PIT BULLS!!! ALL DOGS ARE AND CAN BE LOVING FAMILY COMPANIONS. All of us people who care about dogs any kind of dogs should have our eyes open at all times for dogs that are out there in back yards and on chains left to be alone just waiting for their owner to love and care for them. WE CAN STOP THIS KIND OF ACT ON ALL DOGS NOW IF YOU USE YOUR VOICE.... AND SPEAKE UP FOR THE ANIMALS YOU SEE BEING TREATED BADLY, LEFT OUT IN THE RAIN OR SNOW WITH OUT SHELTER, NOT BEING FEED OR HAVING FRESH WATER EVERY DAY AND OR NEVER EVER HAVING ANY ONE TO PLAY WITH THEM AND HUG AND KISS THEM, TO FEEL REAL LOVE FROM A HUMAN. THEY ALL DESERVE THIS. YES EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM THAT'S ON THIS EARTH NOW. AND THE ONES THAT ARE TO COME,THAT ARE BEING BORN TODAY, TOMORROW AND IN THE FUTURE .PLEASE.... all the animal lovers out there keep a close eye on the dogs and cats and all other innocent animals around your neighbor hoods and lets keep them all safe from those who would do them any harm or those who neglect their pets. PETS that's what they are. FAMILY MEMBERS NOT TRASH OR GARBAGE !!!   DON'T HAVE ANIMALS IF YOU DON'T LOVE THEM.  AND IF YOU LOVE THEM LIKE I LOVE MINE... YOU ARE WORTHY AND VALUED AND DESERVING OF ANY PET YOU OWN.  LETS SAVE ALL INNOCENT, HELPLESS ANIMALS FROM MANS CRUELTY P.L.E.A.S.E....  " SHAME ON YOU JAY LENO AND CHIS ROCK "

I admire your strong passion and deep compassion for the innocent and helpless, Karen. All animals must be proud to have you on their side.

That is not a laughing matter. Jay, Chris, sorry but you both used to be big fans of mine and now you have both gone too far. You have lost my respect as well.

 This just shows how ignorant dees cats are, immature and lacking compassion.

 I don't think I will go out of my way to watch these people on TV, but I sure as hell won't make an extra attempt to watch them.

That is sad.  I just lost a lot of my respect for Chris Rock.

I can tell you, pit bulls are real dogs, perhaps more worthy of love and effection because of how easily teir breed is mistreated.

My sister in law has a pit bull, and he is one of the coolest, happiest dogs I've known.

My grandmother had a part pit bull (other part was lab).  She was the nicest, calmest dog I've ever known.

Like brother wolf my hackles are up.

Any man or womanthat treats any animal worse then them selves should be treated has such

1-you leave your tribe with nothing.

2-If you survive for two years maybe we will allow you to return

3-and if allowed to return you may not be allowed to survive.

the hand of great spirit chief will indeed come down on any who abuse any life, (ALL LIFE IS SCARED)

Jay Leno suffers from a permanent state of moronic adolescence. I've never understood why he's so popular. He is so reflective of a culture that seems to think that if you take any issue seriously, you're not cool enough. 

Another angle is that dogfighting and rape have been compared, and without compassion. 

How could Chris say they ain't real dogs,helloooooooo,the first Televison Pit Bull was the Little Rascles "Pal"...http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/pete.php

Those 2 sodders need to get re-educated about the breed,they have been around especially in the states since the early 1920's and I like that fact that Chris lost a role in an upcoming movie due to his ignorant remark!

There was a massive letter writing campaign to the network about the comments the day after they were made.  Not one single person received even an acknowledgement from the network, including me.  I was thrilled when Mrs. Pryor wrote her blistering response to Chris Rock.  It was classic and spot on.  It's a shame the network can't just own up to the absolute low that Leno hit when he joined in on this with Chris Rock.  They both should be ashamed.  It's that kind of attitude that perpetuates this cancer known as BSL.

I have just written the network as well. I will continue to write everyday, until they respond and I believe all of you should do the same. I have also banned the network from our viewing!!!People like this send the message the it is no big deal to torture and kill animals. This is part of our problem in our society. Along with Glenn Beck who also commented about the Baltimore elementary school eliminating meat on Mondays (meatless Mondays) and growing there own garden for better health! What could be better then children becoming more health concious? I don't understand these people and their thinking but I am glad to know that there are still those who care about animals,health and our lack of morals in our society!!!!!!

Leno's and Rock's comments were thoughtless. What is funny about animals being fought to death or someone running from the law and a rape conviction? However, and sadly too, these are the kinds of things that come from most who are involved in show business. Leno makes a living from getting laughs and he will resort to the cheapest shots to get them. Rock is no different. The suffering of others is good material, no matter what the circumstances are. NBC has turned into a ultra-liberal outfit and has lost all credibility in my opinion. Perhaps Mr. Leno and Mr. Rock would benefit from spending a few days volunteering at a pet rescue. There they would see first hand the animals who have been victims of dog fighting and other human perpetuated cruelty. Then, they could volunteer at a woman's shelter (if the shelter wanted them. That could be iffy), and talk to victims of rape and domestic abuse. Perhaps then they might come away with a new attitude towards what is funny and what most definitely isn't.

I wrote NBC several days ago about this subject and told them I was not only going to stop watching the Jay Leno show (which is, IMHO, 'lame' anyway) because of his and Chris Rock's comments, but was also going to boycott their sponsors as well, much as I have done for any sponsors of the NFL.  I have lost all respect for either of those individuals.  Shame on them!  And as for Pit Bulls not being real dogs?  In my way of thinking, Jay Leno and Chris Rock are not real men.  Real men neither engage in such cruel, inhumane acts nor condone them in my way of thinking.

Yay, Mark. More guys need to follow your example and be "real men." :-)

This news is a protrait of the depth of intelligence these men have in relation to our world and god's blessed creatures. If only they were dogs. Yet they are just lowly, base, spoiled, pathetic and ugly, harmful men of the human race which is ruining our moral tissue in society with grotesque comments for a cheap and bitter guffaw. Well, blow me down.

That is worse than racist because at least we punish racist remarks. This "banter" is criminal and those monsters should be made to WATCH THE HIDEOUS AND DESPICABLE CRIMES against "man's best friend.

I was a big fan of Chris Rock. Now after hearing his comments about  how a Pit Bull isn't even a real dog?! Well I can see why everybody hates Chris.

These are 2 scumbag brainless morons.Very low IQ. I can see why they are so disliked!

I've never been a fan of Leno, but thought Chris Rock was funny.  Not now.  There is NOTHING funny about dog fighting! For these two to make light of dog fighting is a new low.  

By the way Leno, Vick didn't lose his career, he is once again playing in the NFL, making millions, despite the fact that he has never apologized for the torture and killing of countless innocent dogs.

Chris Rock: Pit Bulls are REAL dogs, and they deserve all the love and respect we can give them.

pit bulls are not bad, but some have humans who are cruel and enjoy making the innocent suffer.

I don't care if they make jokes about it, that is what they do, but that doesn't even sound like a joke. 

The problem is never that they are joking about it, its that during their joke they let their cruel opinions show through.

Chris Rock and Jay Leno are ignorant. They just need to see dog fighting..really see the blood and the suffering and the fierce determination of a dog that will fight despite his torn body to please his abusive owners. People, normal people with a healthy level of compassion and humanity, will understand that Vick's sentence was too small for the crime he comitted especially if they've seen the horrors of dog fighting for themselves. I grew up in a bad setting and every street in my neighborhood had at least 3-5 pit bulls living there.  I remember the first time I saw a fighting dog. I was 5 years old and he was a big scar-covered rednose mastiff/pit bull mix with his face and scalp dangling from his skull and the loneliest eyes I've ever seen on a dog.  I have these images in my mind and then when ignorant fools make comments like this it's hard for me to believe unless I remind myself that they haven't seen the blood first hand. They need to know what exactly it is theyre talking about when they say " a pit bull aint even a real dog"

I watch the National Geographic channel's show "DogTown".One episode represented the issue of "Vick's" pitbulls and their rescue of them. Of the dogs on the show, they were all beautiful frightened dogs. I have never been a fan of pitbulls mainly because of their so called "reputation". After watching this DogTown episode, I have totally been converted. I would gladly own a pitbull any day. On this show, one of the dogs was a female named Georgia. She had been forcibly bred using a "breading rack". Her teeth had all been removed by a vet !!...scary...so she couldn't bite at the males who were mounting her. Previously she had been used as a fighter, because there were scars all over her face. The trainer at "Dogtown" who took her under his wing,did a remarkable job of trying to rehabilitate her. She had to be kept away from other dogs, because all she had known was to fight them. But she loved people ! After all that had been done to her, she still loved people. She responded to her trainer with love and affection, he was able to train her to do tricks, come when called etc. etc. And yet, it was a human who totally abused her from day one. She was an amazing dog. Out of the other pitbulls who were rescued, most were adopted to homes and are doing well. Imagine, after all they had been through, to actually go to a home and receive "love".  If any of you out there get a chance to watch that show, it will melt your heart. I also watch the "Dog Whisperer" any chance I get, and his famous sidekick "Daddy" who is a pure bred pitbull, and I just love him. He is the most laid back gentle dog I have ever seen. I would take him home in a minute.   So to anyone who thinks pitbulls are "not a dog", should be ashamed. I am seriously thinking my next dog just may be a pitbull.  To Jay Leno and Chris Rock, you disgust me.

Rock's insensitive comment cost him the role of R Pryor, his widow was PISSED! she said Richard would not have appreciated the 'humor' of such a statement, so he is OUT!

hah, laff at that Rock!
