Tyler Eison turns pit bull pups into deadly weapons

"These are not normal dogs," says Tyler Eison, gazing reverently at a litter of seven-week-old pit bull puppies. "I like having very vicious, angry dogs. I'm going to teach them not to like other dogs. I'm going to agitate them, make them aggressive. That way when it's about business, they are going to be serious."
As a real estate investor and auto dealer, Eison, 41, values aggression in his dogs for protecting both himself and his property. "My dogs are my pistols," he says, cracking a gold-tooth smile. "I have my dogs on my property, and I have faith in them. If they're coming at you, you have to shoot them to kill them."

Hoping to turn Rock's offspring into deadly weapons, Eison started antagonizing them when they were around nine weeks old. One afternoon he held an all-brown puppy by its midsection and for several minutes forced it to lie across the neck of one its sisters, who Eison believes might be the pick of the litter. Eison didn't think the brown pup was willing enough to play rough, so he decided to force it into a scrum. After a minute or so, its sister became angry and began to growl and bite the brown one's ears. After the incident the brown puppy cowered under a metallic-blue racing motorcycle Eison keeps in the backyard and peed.

3. He is line breeding, too.

Excellent :sarcasm: Be sure to have genetic problems in addition to poor socialization and hot temperaments.

4. Um... is there no ASPCA in Queens?

Legally, is this sadist really allowed to do this? If so, you folks in Queens needs to get your shit together and demand tough laws against this kind of abuse!!!!!!!

5. There were two branches of the ASPCA in Queens when I was a kid

back in the '60's and '70's.

One was in South Jamaica. I know this because my mom and I used to take animals left on our doorstep there. They had to have closed down since I moved out.

The other was my house :) Neighbors used to call my house "the local branch of the ASPCA" because my family would take care of animals, especially dogs, people used to dump in our front yard.

6. This guy is an idiot.

I see no advantage to having a house full of dangerous and angry animals.

7. Last guy that felt that way here in SC

got 40 YEARS in jail for it and had 59 dogs euthanized. (They were too dangerous to try to rehome...couldn't be handled without control sticks and couldn't even be put 2 to a kennel)
