she is an ignorant kind of woman!

Shows ignorance for sure. Come on Kelly……..get some education on Pit Bulls before you make such a blanket offensive remark. I am a Pit Bull owner and I take great offense when someone makes a comment like yours without thinking or understanding the breed. I agree with Wendy…..maybe she should get Tia Torres there and a couple of her parolees and dogs. Knowledge is the key. An appology to Pit Bull owners is needed.

I have lost so much respect for Kelly Ripa due not only to her ignorant comment about the pit bull breed, but also her lack of an apology to every dog lover, pit bull advocate, pit bull foster, rescuer, and family touched by this wonderful breed. All these people work so hard behind the scenes everyday to save these animals lives, to fight BSL, and change the entire world’s way of thinking negatively about this breed. By stating a non factual stereotype about pit bulls she has created so much damage, and is no better than a racist that states negative comments out of ignorance and hate. Shame on you, Kelly. You are in the public spotlight, and people look to you for facts. I understand no one is perfect, but as adults when we are wrong, we apologize and take responsibility. I have the blessing to deal with many pits in my job, and my sister and her four daughters have one. A “dangerous dog” would never go up to my sleeping nieces and cover them with a blanket without ever being taught. A “dangerous dog” would never allow a small puppy to crawl all over it and even stick its entire head into it’s mouth and do nothing but lick it. A “dangerous dog” would not ever give kisses to a stranger while getting a nail trim, or brush out. A “Dangerous Dog” would never be a police dog, or a rescue dog, or a therapy dog, or a child’s best friend. Pits are not dangerous dogs, but you have once again proven that people are the dangerous ones, that refuse to take responsibility for their actions, and words.

She did not apologize today and yesterday this is what she said, It would have to be one of those dangerous type dogs, like a pit bull, huh? Big disappointment, lacks class. The statement is no different than a racial slur…It’s really sad, these dogs are slaughtered by the 1000′s every day in this country all because of this ignorant attitude, very irresponsible and I am appalled by it. Sadly it reinforced a terrible misconception about this very much misunderstood breed.

WTG Kelly and I do mean that sarcastically. Never liked you, now I have another reason not to like you. You should do complete research before expressing your thoughts! Thanks to you this adds to the poor stereotype of Pit Bulls and similar breeds.

Kelly Ripa is a bitch! This just shows that people of fame and fortune can be misinformed and uneducated when it comes to canines. She is a racist in the canine world. I always thought she had a big mouth so it doesn’t surprise me that sheer stupidity has come out of it. Might have to post this story to some of my pitbull sites on facebook and get a boycott of her show going. Or better yet….start a petition to have her show removed.

Excuse wear

Oh for God sake. She was trying to make a joke about the actual dog in the movie. She was joking about the stereotypes. Let’s be realistic….gangsta wannabe’s are always getting bloody pit bulls because they THINK the dog is symbol of “toughness”, while rational, educated people know otherwise. The joke she was attempting to make was because the dog in CW’s movie is a Shitzu type dog owned by a mobster…..GET IT???? Going against stereotype?? JOKE? Get it? Get over it people. And get facts straight before hitting Twitter if you are a celeb with a large platform. “Heartbroken”?? Really. Get a life.

I think she needs to apologized that she made a stupid comments, I always like her but I knew sometimes we do make mistakes and accepting it and apologizing is the best way…

Kelly Ripa is an idiot……..she’/s great for showmanship and poor entertainement only…….obviously doesnt know what she’s talking about………shame on you Kelly – the Dunce!

It would have been bad if it were any of the dogs on the bsl lists that are being slaughtered every day by the 1000′s due to this attitude, but the ones suffering most at the hands of this stupid legislation, just happens to be pit bulls mam. They are the ones that did not need this the most.

You get em!

What, did Pitbulls suddenly become non-dangerous, when did this happen? At least the Dogmen tell the truth about the breed. Now all we have is a bunch of delusional BS artists practising idiot compassion and putting children’s lives in danger. Earth to Nutters. PITBULLS ARE DANGEROUS, ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE. Facts are stubborn things!

silly BLOND woman she needs to get her facts right before saying things she know nuthing about it

The dog in the movie is a shih’tzu. I wonder if she got this notion in her head because she owns a shih’tzu…either way it was an ignorant statement, and if she didn’t mean any harm by it, she should retract her statement or release an apology. Even the smallest sentence can be misinterpreted by many to be fact.

Ick, one more reason to hate Kelly Ripa…I never DID like her…she has said ignorant things before as well about other subjects she doesnt know shit about…she needs to go eat something and zip it….

I think you’re an idiot. Maybe you should look up real facts instead of just things your hear. In fact most large breed dogs are mistaken for pit bulls. Have you ever heard of the Dogo Argentino? It looks like a pit but in fact it is not. And no they do not kill more people other than any other breed. I know that I would be more than angry if you use a blanket statement about us as humans the way that Ripa did towards pits. Many people say that Americans are spoiled and money hungry and lie. Are you or do you?..see not fair right. I am sure you would be upset if people said these horrible things about you. Unfortunately its not that simple when it involves dogs..they have to die for things that are said about them.

I am not in anyway defending Kelly. Honestly, I think she made a comment without even thinking. For those of us who rescue and/or own a bully, we are very sensitive to such comments. But do not let our passion for the breed be overshadowed by incivility. It would great if she acknowledged her comment, apologized and brought on Tia Torres (as another poster suggested). Let’s hope she does.

I’ve read literally all these comments, and i see a lot of people saying she didn’t mean anything towards pitbulls being dangerous, that it was just a joke due to the concept of the movie. If that was true than the key word being dangerous should have been left out. Instead she decided to say ” a dangerous pitbull like dog”. That states that pitbulls are dangerous. If she meant as some of you feel, that she was meaning due to gangsters typically owning these dogs. Than why didn’t she just say, since it’s a gangster wouldn’t he have a pitbull like dog? That would be worded appropriately to insinuate it as being a joke because gangsters typically own pitbull type dogs. It’s all in the wording and her words have put forth the exact thing that everyone is accusing her of doing. She could have left out that crucial key word and everyone would have accepted it as a joke or set up towards the actual breed being used in this movie. She did make a bad move, whether people what to believe it or not, but people are sheep. They believe what these celebrities say and hang on every word of it. She unfortunately may have jeopardized lives with that line. Yes many people have a brain, but to many people are sheep and it is proven day in and day out, when people are parroting the same thing the media spews, instead of doing their own research. That has nothing to do with pitbulls in general but has everything to do with reality. Let’s face it celebrities are more fun to watch than politicians, so what ever the celebrity or commercial states must be true. Hence your undecided voter that’s always flip flopping and parroting what other people say (just an example). Until people stop being sheep and stop parroting and believing what people in the lime light say, these people will always be expected to provide correct knowledge or actually state i’m unsure, but i’ve always heard. Either the sheepies are going to try and hang on that and get shot down because they’re believing someone that doesn’t even know and has stated it, or they’re going to be interested enough to actually do their own research. Either way the media has the power to sway so many people in different directions due to some simple lines. What Kelley needs to do is be a big girl, and make a statement about it. Explain herself, and apologize. I know it will never happen cause the media does this every day, but it wouldn’t hurt for her to do it. To the people that are trying to promote that pitbulls kill more than any other breed, you are sadly mis-informed. The breed only bites or kills maybe 1% of it’s entire population which is lower than labs. More numbers of the animal, means more occurrences. Once you do the math there’s actually more attacks from other breeds. Some nice people have already done the math for you so you don’t have to hurt your heads with it. You also have to take into consideration the type of people that are drawn to this breed. Than take into consideration all the responsible pet owners that have done everything and kept up on everything that is needed for this type of breed, and look at those numbers. Every attack is sad yes. But about 99.9% of all attacks could have been prevented if the owner actually took the time to be responsible. Now let me pose a question to all the pitbulls are dangerous people. A husky mauls and kills a newborn it’s adopted right back out, a pitbull mauls and kills a newborn (same situation both dogs are in) the pitbull is killed. Is that fair? Bottom line is no. One dog has been released back into the public to potentially harm another person, where as another dog is killed instantly. Sounds pretty hypocritical. Until all dogs and humans are held accountable appropriately to each actions, than no dog is safe, no human is safe. It’s time for a proper dog owner law to be put into action that effects ALL breeds. I’m sick of seeing these dog attacks just like the rest. But let’s face it the people that dropped the ball get a smack on the wrist, the animal pays for it, and the people are free to get another dog, that may or may not have behavior issues. Prime example. My neighbor has owned multiple different breeds, and these dogs have chased, and have on occasion bit people. All dogs were raised the same way. And all dogs had behavior issues, that were not addressed and proper care was not taken to keep the public or animals safe. A family member ended up taking one of their dogs due multiple reports and it bit the mail man, i believe it was some sort of border collie mix. You know that dog through proper care ended up turning into a great dog? That in itself proves it’s the human not the dog. But nobody would ever believe it when it comes to a pitbull cause apparently all pitbulls are inherently dangerous. Might wanna tell the nice people that did the behavior test’s that than, since multiple pitbull type breeds scored higher than your lab and golden retriever. Go figure. Yes i am a pitbull owner, but at least i brought legit facts to the table, and did not go on about how my dog is fantastic and would never hurt a fly. Let’s face it if you have in your head that every dog can and if pushed will bite, you’re more capable of preventing headlines from hitting the media airwaves, and that goes for ALL breeds.

Every breed of dog can be taught (encouraged) to be aggressive It’s time to stop blaming the WRONG end of the leash!

How dare she. That’s dog racism. Her ratings are v low since R left the show. Take her off the air…… bitch

I’ve never watched her show, probably never will. However, if I did watch her show…….well, I still wont eat at McDonalds….Just sayin’.

Sorry folks…but these dogs can kill. And I used to own one. It bites and its grip is a hard one to get it to release. I know any dog can bite but not like a damn Pit! It is truly a killer dog!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad this broad hasn’t bothered to express anything to any of the pit bull victims. Her priorities are somewhat off base. Pits are mauling and killing in numbers unlike any other breed in history. People need to show concerns for the victims rather than these canine mutants.

the are dangerous.and dumb

People say things all the time about Pit Bull’s, so because she is a celebrity and has a forum to speak her mind, she is unforgivable? So silly…Boycott her show, send nasty emails…Who cares! I will continue to watch her show (when I catch it of course) and I will not make any other comments besides this one! And YES….I DO HAVE A PITBULL! His name is Smokey and he will be 7 in March. He is the big baby of the family! P.S. It is not about the bred of the dog, but how it is trained and raised! I have friends that have little dogs and they are nasty! So people really need to stop giving Pitbulls a bad name, but I am not going to stop watching a show because of a comment that was made.

Kelly Tips is just ignorant!

No they aren’t

Well I feel sorry for you, CapnMagpie. Pitbulls are no more dangerous nor likely to bite than any other breed UNLESS heartless morons like Michael Vick force them to fight. And BTW I would never “purchase” a pit when there are so many out there who need rescuing from dirtbags. Overbred? Another problem caused by so-called people. It makes me sick and so do you.

Chris, I have to agree with you. One bad does not fix another. The same way she was wrong for making the comment, many of you are wrong for the things you are saying about her. I have not been a Kelly Ripa fan since she left All My Children, but she is still a person. I love dogs, and I have owned a Pit for 7 years, but that was only after I learned about them. When I was a preteen, I say a neighborhood kid get attacked by a dog, and guess what kind….a Pit. Now, after seeing something like that and hearing the things I did about them, I was under the impression that all of them were like that. It wasn’t until I was able to get beyond what I witnessed and learned about that breed (and others) that I realized that I was wrong. You cannot teach someone by bashing them. If she is not taught, then she will continue to make ridiculous comments like that. What really bothers me is I don’t see PEOPLE come to the defense of other PEOPLE as they do for dogs and other animals. I find something truly wrong with that. Michael Vick was 1000% wrong for what he did, but once again, PEOPLE who kill other PEOPLE are treated better than he is for what he did, We as a society have to find something wrong with that. These words are coming from someone who loves animals, but I have to be honest, If I had to choose between my mom, my brother, my kids, my husband, or my dog….I choose them. As much as I love my dog, I love my FAMILY (PEOPLE) more. Just sayin…

I personally think that was a very ignorant comment someone in the spotlight can say, she seems like such a blonde bimbo for even saying this disrespectful comment, I have a beautiful red nose pit bull and she is the biggest baby that just wants love and a hug every time she sees me. she just got a whole lot of people mad,she is an IDIOT.
