Good morning it's Thursday and -- in the upper eighties today nice and -- Bright sunshine just a few clubs. Feinberg and it makes -- brought you by network capital funding corporation. Your future finance Michelle is off today joining me to co host this hour is. From the pleasure palace Jeff crooner himself good morning job. Good morning -- are you -- good nice -- here and you're done this before hosted with another human being. Our guest tonight Jim died several times you know what I thought well I I love it I I love doing I think it's a lot of fun. I had a hard time sleeping last night what happens while I was excited. Coach told me last night I want chew on for an hour with taut as that you know they get to be on an hour with the sexiest man and talk radio while. I'm -- I've never even been in the pleasure palace -- -- that's the names have to assume his studio. And a library and it's a dead the imagery is just astounding so could she said you wanted to surprise me with a topic. Well that's. Yes. I look. I gotta tell you you talk about the people's republic of Massachusetts. I'm looking at the Boston Herald not minding my own business yes you know having some Diet Coke I don't have coffee in the morning but I have my -- called him a little caffeine rush. And I see an animal rights bill has been signed into law by Governor Deval Patrick. I'm -- really some -- animals have rights mound messages of limited reading. Apparently. All of the restrictions. Are muscling pit bulls having to register them that's gonna be gone. Apparently all of these ordinances and laws that -- -- city of Boston has to protect the good people of Boston from these crazy vicious dogs those days are gone. That Boston's ordinances have been overruled now by a state law signed by Deval Patrick. To our -- placating caving in to the animal rights activists because quote. A muscling pit bulls is breed specific. It literally got to the lip -- that it discriminates against dead bolts. So if you can't have discrimination against -- bulls. And he's animal rights activists are now saying it's a great victory for pit bull owners prepared -- and his quote fair to all dogs. Quote here's what an animal right. Boston an animal rescue league spokeswoman Jennifer. So is not judged by how it looks or what his -- stereo types are still. We just get your position. Your coming out on the anti diversity. Pro bigotry aside here I yes I am an anti pit bull biggest. I confess to -- right now summer racist I always keep it boys always knew your hater. And is this based on personal experience at this prejudices. You do you possess -- was handed down to when your child. Well first most generational. My resume my dad believed that my granddad -- believe that my great -- I don't believe it at that that's just the way it is here. We burn crosses a wee bit bolts that's just laughed peered out here well look I'm tiger look I'm. I walk around Washington DC I see these animals they're vicious animals look I know not every pit bull is vicious. But I see a lot of these animals you see all of the attacks that have gone on they -- -- most dangerous dog out of thin air. And I don't think requiring pit bull owners who say okay Lee shared dog muzzle your dog or register your dog. I can't stand iPad -- to say this but I'm actually with foggy Tommy Menino on this one part of Mayor Menino is upset about this. I agree with -- For once Tommy and -- are on the same page. I believe the people of Boston should be able to walk around in their -- walk around on the streets and not worry about some good ball on the loose mauling them the borrowing them. This is it the darn thing is a very interesting problem. Because. People sense of their right to have a dog is pretty universal right because wait I forget the percentage is that the vast majority of Americans have dogs. Or have had dogs so they have this kind of ownership -- Relate abilities of the whole notion I've never had a dog I don't understand how people put up with the barking. I don't understand how they put up with the shedding and I certainly don't understand why they get dogs that are inclined to be violent. But we hear whenever there's one of these attacks are triple. We get calls from people say I got a pit bull nicest most wonderful animal I've ever owned nice nature great with the kids. So what do we do. It would seem to mean the beauty. These sort of some knee jerk conservatives that you aren't -- -- you did you would be jumping up and downing fury. -- but if if somebody came and tried to say you know the -- you won't just sorry. We don't allow those anymore. -- my question of not allowing numbers -- senior muzzle. Singapore tomorrow leash and muzzle all so they don't do with their powerful jaws I don't devour -- you don't wanna -- does that happen in this city I -- Mayor Menino has got a point. That. That he should be only because it did he get these drug dealers he had people who wanna be intimidating to other people who have pitfalls and sometimes they escape. Sometimes they jump over fence invite somebody. -- I mean look -- talk really I mean I'm exactly like Q I've never owned a dog in my life. Look I respect dogs are really I do but look to me it's it's a dirty animal in terms of the house cleaning it up. The barking and and we wake me up I'm not I'm not a dog guy that's not my thing however a pit bull is not a portal. I mean a pool a pool will not be in danger your life. Right even a German shepherd. Are they tend to be rescued dogs but up pit bull is a fighter. A big bowl is a vicious okay dangerous animals so I'm not saying don't hold a pit bull or prevent or -- are -- -- ownership of a pit bull. But I don't think it's unreasonable to say if you got a bit bolt. Well we shine at you need to muzzle that register it with the cities we can make sure it's under control. I don't think Boston is being again outrages -- by demanding that and now Deval Patrick says -- is discrimination against dead bolts. But only as I understand -- ordinance in the city of Boston he restricts the ownership of certain dogs right so. Your saying. It seems to me something contradictory to that you're saying you just want. Restrictions on certain -- like muscles put on them but but if if the city of Boston wants to say you can't own -- certain type of dog. You were with them -- yes among confused. No no I mean I think you have a right -- only pit bull. If you want -- pit bull but you need to have a beware of dog sign on your property. If you take it out for a walk it needs to be muzzled -- needs to be Lee just. In other words there have to be certain restrictions to protect the public I think that the means very reasonable. What this law is now saying according to what Deval Patrick signed as you can and you have any of those reasonable restrictions. Because they're saying it discriminates against -- bull story so now all of a sudden pit bulls have become a new protective glass. All right and that's what liberals are pushing for all the time and then this might be extending human rights stand to animals that might be. The crux of what the balls are joined by signing this legislation. That takes out of the hands of the municipalities the rights to discriminate. Against certain animals -- seems to me. Animal and in this within the group so they can -- pit bulls know. Hallways tour affect. It seems to me this is appropriate that a towel or city should be able to make these rules about dog ownership what do you think 617266686. Even though dog -- at Golden Retriever is and a colleague have moved higher by your ratios and people you don't think this is. Racist thing but because the pit -- is. Am pop culture of being used by rappers and gangsters and gang members of there's a stigma attached to a pitfall that. Normally wouldn't be attached Selassie even though last sees more apt to -- -- gonna -- what was your. Different issues one news does a CD Yorktown have the right to make the right now about it animals and second would be. Should they make Smart rules are stupid rules as soon as you have government officials involved here -- stupid rules. But it seems to me the city or town should be making this decision why would the state intervened. And throw out. All these roles that have already been made and in cities and -- 6172666868. Make these off Jeff -- is in this hour co hosting. And now our -- your NW RK a good morning. Morning you know listening to their -- My -- -- -- Cohen knew that it got attacked -- -- well. And -- how they've got. I am not hot so to debt free however my theory here. All dark -- I -- Okay and by people. Picture here. Abu reshaped if -- cup -- that read don't insurance companies when you're a homeowner. Pure premium. Because you have these dark like you feel like -- -- contribute for all the actual site. However these are. -- -- -- -- -- It CNET anorexia and lately -- -- they have a very very strong right. -- say all -- and are created equal so I'll call you might be more inclined to buy eight. Then a pitfall but you'd rather get bitten by calling. What we aren't all aren't I yeah but -- -- -- -- I don't know what is -- by an animal. It can come down on terrorism by bytes bytes are different so. I think the the rap on pit bulls Jeff is that is if they decide they're gonna bite you they don't like go. My sister had a -- she -- She's -- she's she got mad CNBC one day. You know it was a little scratch on my thing in my little pinky OK I was playing with her teasing her she she bit my little -- now everyone wanna get -- by sheik -- Or I wanna get bit by a pit bull. Now maybe Deval Patrick is this liberals now they keep reading rights and everything no really go -- Patrick now I understand now. When they erode the declaration of independence. When our founding fathers wrote the constitution. We don't you may think it was just for humans thought you may think it was just for people in the United States. Not all according to the ballpark -- it's now that's a species bias. They also included dogs. And especially bread bowls we fought the American revolution to defend the bolts to make sure that pit bulls Abby. All the -- with underdog -- on two things here is wanna clarify why the myth that pit bulls have blocked chart is not true they do not have a lot of the capability. To lock their job that's not true. Never to hit the jets assertion that his sister had a cool would you rather be driven by a pool or a pit -- Doesn't wash with me because that's like saying what I rather be Shalit the machine -- twice and knowing how Mo -- and not a dog -- in the right place the right time under the right circumstances can cause just as much damage that was done by a total -- -- -- -- you can't -- it doesn't matter what I was a stabilizing an entire -- specifically because you weren't horror stories about. I told you I never had a -- I was around the -- my friends had dogs I got better all the time -- I broke around ten holes I tell Linus just sentence all this year and I PRI if you say it is as sure a folder and go right ahead the I got bit all the time they never drew blood. All right did did dogs can -- -- -- they -- biting your ankles that you do all kinds of things that are technically a -- that aren't devastated. 6172666860. Jeff corners here. Michelle is off two minutes we'll take your call on 680 WRKO. Just a radio station. Viewer -- Michelle talked today. -- -- filling in this hour if so what do we call over to us. Boy that's pretty get a regular catchy name but I gotta tell you look you're the sexiest man in radio and I think animals balding man ring. The most balding and you're also broadcasting from the pleasure palace why don't we just -- a pleasure palace radio. A pleasure radio it fits your whole image -- -- we're talking about dogs because the state of Massachusetts has overruled. The municipalities with a new rule on dogs and you can't do any. What do you call a breed specific legislate you can't open outlaw specific breed of dogs how bizarre senate. I think if Mayor Menino wants to say no pitfalls in the city of Boston. That's what kind of banning I want him doing I don't wanna banning people because of their religion or businesses because of their religion but dodge because they bite I say yeah. Two local control. And we know what Jeff thanks. Dave you're on W are you good morning to you. -- Don't do and he I got tired surplus Stewart who are through the west because -- I agree -- -- supporting com. If that's gonna go open the look too far. -- -- You know -- giving -- look -- calling this -- -- We're talking about -- -- true there's just this is what they go to a golf ball toward the ball fans saw as a surprise -- mean -- Google is made this this. -- your dog hall why would you be surprised this is right up to call Sally isn't. -- -- I think it's a lot true freedom you give. The -- human rights to turn it to animal. Well it's a -- by people on. You know what that -- a good point where we're took or certainly a political stand this. It's their take surely feel it takes effect where people on what's on -- side. And you are frankly doesn't put a whole lot of voters are against you wanna come down to boulder report because we're against them because -- scores -- are running for governor by. Several actually. -- he's trying to for a president -- -- I -- thank you for the call good to hear for new. And your next NWR you just corners here too high and. I good morning I'm. A professional dog trainer Paulo. It. I hope that you'll take what I say. And that light. I agree with -- and the reason that I -- Is that what we know about animal behavior is and odd behavior pathetically. Is that part doesn't require bite in the condition -- in eagle would generally. You mean that's as hot not -- want to buy back into that well what -- -- is don't close your mouth and mean it. I'm and the way to learn it is early on for example and copy -- there. And that would be between the ages that eight and sixteen weeks of age. Though you -- better advice rather than worrying about whether or not a specific breed at the end which I don't agree with I think that people should be allowed to own repeated their choice. You would be better advocate strict institute. A lot that can take all god no matter what street they action to poppy crop report it WikiLeaks -- And that if you take all dogs to puppy class and in the in the right developmental phase. -- they all get the same training is there one breed vs another is there a difference in. How instinctual take over in particular moment. You know all about their training. No I'm hidden genetic. For a dog like pit bulls an infinitely many many other -- does have a bearing. But people as a rule are not aggressive toward people what they are sometimes aggressive toward -- other dogs. There are many other reconnect category tunnel which you might be surprised by and so on any dog that you always has teed up. They can all get significant damages debate by. And our dog that has a predisposition towards aggression toward other died. Need to be -- particularly carefully it's not that includes a by the way from colleagues and. Okay I got -- -- but so there's a three month old baby crawling around. That's really where the differences is there a dog. That you fear more being around an infant or young child in my Pulitzer for jet fuel you buying that explanation that sounds like it's up you're -- I'll be very candid and -- nothing about dogs. I'm -- I've only known to dogs in my life she she the portal. And Dick Cook either retriever was both by the my sister and two dogs they were wonderful blogs I love -- dogs my two nephews they've played which -- -- They rolled cookie that he jumped on cookie. That led the retreat no problems now so I look at those two dogs and Michael those two dogs don't scare -- negotiation admit -- one time. But I walked down the streets of Washington and I'm telling you -- see these pit bulls then you have scares are menacing dangerous vicious dogs and furthermore. Nobody wants the mentioned as you know -- pit bulls are often used in these dog fights were all this dog fighting going on so there's -- fire breathing thing -- -- they used in dog fights get through one the most vicious aggressive animals around. Now if the city of Boston through the wisdom of the city council on it's a wonderful glorious manner. A Tommy Menino. Well one of the most brilliant -- and the United States. If they say yes we want a -- pit bulls. We wanna up it may make sure you -- a bit -- We wanna say beware of dog on your property -- a pit bull -- certain restrictions. Now call me a member of the Ku Klux Klan. But I think you ever write the discriminate against. -- -- -- -- Seven they -- says Joseph drug dealer is not taking his dog killer to poppy classes and that might be a problem with -- point. Mike -- -- -- Jeff gooders here I'm Mike. I aren't -- I have one point. But a year ago my wife in my yard work. My wife was out walking the dog and my wife and the dog got pretty much law. And it was six minute attack. There were about five or six. Very big guys that couldn't get the dog off my wife that was. Literally dragging my wife and his dog under the Paula so let's -- it was not only biased what the story is just that I wanted to make that point. So Lar nu York paints his body dog owners -- the dog. In the first -- Perry -- choose the people bet on the dogs when they were out checking on my wife -- -- substantial. Surgery apple. But I that I did not blame the dark I blame you. Because the dog get out of back door out of the gate I think outside gate. And then it -- the attack. What kind of dog -- it's certainly a bit dark all my -- what kind of dog was it that they couldn't pull off -- checkbook and I don't want -- -- well.
