Oct 17 2007Ellen DeGeneres’ dog problem causes death threats

First off, I had no idea other celebrities existed besides Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and anyone with a crazy set of fake tits. (Who the hell is Ellen DeGeneres? What is a dog?) Much like you, I’m frightened and confused. Maybe, after this post, will you just hold me? Thanks. FOX News has the details:
DeGeneres explained on her show that the Brussels Griffon terrier mix didn't get along with her cats, so she gave it to her hairstylist's family. The owners of Mutts and Moms claimed that DeGeneres violated the adoption agreement by not informing them that she was giving the dog away and removed Iggy from the hairstylist's home Sunday. As a result of the publicity, Marina Batkis and Vanessa Chekroun received voice mail and e-mail threats of death and arson.
Apparently the adoption agency feel Ellen’s hairdresser’s family is unfit:
Fink said Moms and Mutts has a rule that families with children under 14 are not allowed to adopt small dogs. "It's for the protection of the dog," he said
Man, it sounds like these adoption folks are in some hot water. They’re going to need some dirt on Ellen to dig their way out of this one. Dirt which I just so happen to have. Yep, for a small fee I could be enticed to hand over photos of Ellen eating a kitten. I’ve got them right here in my – oh, wait, my bad. It’s Owen Wilson at a pig roast. You can see how I got them confused, right? Because they’re both blonde and, you know, lesbians.

I do not understand the story. Who's dog is it? Why is s third party involved? WHAT, did she adopt a dog? If Ellen adopted a dog, then you should put it on the fucking post, because you left that out. K-monnnn, get on teh ball, wyncha?

I wish these animal adoption/rights/lovers groups would spend more time helping humans...come on, a 14 yr old is not fit to have a small dog? What kind of crap is that.
10. Texas Tranny - October 17, 2007 12:13 PM
Val,
She adopted the dog, then she couldn't handle the dog and wanted to get rid of it. The adoption paperwork said no-returns.
@6,
Portia de Rossi is the lesbian's partner.
11. jrzmommy - October 17, 2007 12:15 PM
Sort of an ugly dog, but maybe a good hearted-owner would love it.
12. veggi - October 17, 2007 12:16 PM
See, always with the changing mind, that Ellen. She's more bi than lesbian.
13. Vincce Lombardi - October 17, 2007 12:16 PM
Ellen used to be an offensive guard and kick-return specialist for my team, which is why I know this story:
She adopted a dog (which in Hollywood means she paid more money than you and I would spend on a Lexus). She put the dog thru training to get along with her cats. Dog managed a D+ on its final, so Ellen gave the dog to her hairdresser, who has two kids. The kids love the dog. Adoption agency did a followup call to Ellen, asking how the delinquent was doing. She told them what she did, but it was in her adoption contract with them that if she felt the dog didn't work out, she had to return it to them and only them. So they went to the hairdresser's and stomped the living hell out of the children's hearts by taking the dog back. Ellen made a public apology on her show to the two kids and said she didn't read the fine print (she was a lineman - they can't read anyway), so she didn't know. She appealed to the adoption people to return the dog to the kids, who were on suicide watch. So there you have it.
Stupid cats.
14. Pancy - October 17, 2007 12:17 PM
Geez! Anybody can tell she's a cat lesbian, not a dog lesbian.
15. Texas Tranny - October 17, 2007 12:19 PM
Hey Vince,
My pussy's are smart, not stupid.
16. FRIST!!! - October 17, 2007 12:29 PM
Hey TT, I heard a long time ago that Portia de Rossi and Ellen broke up. That sucks too, cause Portia de Rossi is hot and if I was a lesbo I'd do her.
K, veggi, got the Wild Turkey msg. I'm with you on the count of 3.
17. TS - October 17, 2007 12:30 PM
Jimbo, come on now. You've a seasoned veteran. You should know better than that.
18. LL - October 17, 2007 12:31 PM
Well, Ellen and Owen Wilson do have similar haircuts, so the confusion is understandable.

Ok, Hi TS, Hey Jimbo, I knew that wasn't you. Not yer style. Ok, I'm going to have a problem today, people. You're all computer geeks, so WHY IN THE FUCK do I have to sign in all my crap every single time I comment?!?!? It's taking entirely too damn long to try to quickly slack off!!!!!
Didn't used to do that shit...
24. J-Bone - October 17, 2007 12:43 PM
I saw the video clip where Ellen put on the ol' waterworks to try and weasel her way out of a legal binding contract-no shame. But then again, I nearly got all mushy watching her 'cause even if she like tacos instead of hot dogs-I still think she is a cutie-pie.
25. veggi - October 17, 2007 12:43 PM
wow! believe it or not, 12 wasn't me either. it's trollmania here. gotta just fucking love it, dumbfucks.

28. cashitin - October 17, 2007 12:48 PM
I wonder if Ellen has ever given some deepdickin a try.
29. Don Wilson - October 17, 2007 12:48 PM
How exactly are they under hot water? She signed a contract and decided not to follow the rules.
30. Danklin24 - October 17, 2007 12:49 PM
These owners are assholes. Taking a dog away from a child, they should be ashamed of themselves. Also, what does being under 14 have to do with it? Thats an odd age limit to pull out of their asses. Do 12 year olds eat dogs or something? Now im not sure about this, but i think kids have these things called parents to make sure the dog is being treated well. I saw the girl that this dog was going to and she didnt look like a dog eater at all. When she said "i want my dog back:" she wasn't licking blood dripping from her her lips while sharpening butcher knives.
31. Danklin24 - October 17, 2007 12:50 PM
#29, yeah fine, SHE broke the rules of the contract, punish her, not some child that wanted a dog.
32. Texas Tranny - October 17, 2007 12:52 PM
FRIST, come back with my balls.
LOL
I don't know the answer FRIST, but something strange is happening in here.
33. FRIST!!! - October 17, 2007 12:59 PM
OK, new Britney post (thank God, I was having withdrawals)
34. Bigheadmike - October 17, 2007 1:07 PM
Ok the main fact is...... Ellen broke the contract. She should make ammends with the kids not this great agency that is helping out animals.
I love seeing Liberals bash liberals!!!
35. bluntforcetrauma - October 17, 2007 1:23 PM
Ellen did not sign the goddamn contract. Ellen's partner, Portia de Rossi signed the contract. Yes, Ellen broke the contract, but there are thousands of unwanted pets. Mutts & Moms need to relax their standards and qualifications for adoption. 14 year old are having babies. 14 year olds and younger are carrying guns to school and shooting the place up. They could have learned compassion for all living beings if they had a pet from early childhood. Ellen did what all of us in unwanted animal rescue have done over and over. She rehomed a pet to a great home. The kids are obviously responsible. The hairdresser's family should have been allowed to apply for the dog and been interviewed by the Mutts & Moms nutjobs and they could have left Iggy with them and moved on to finding a great home for the next pet. Legally, Ellen and Portia breached a contract. Morally and ethically, they are wonderful humanitarians. Thumbs down to this Mutts & Moms dumbass operation. The bitches needs to get back on their meds.
36. Baubles - October 17, 2007 1:25 PM
Why are they called "Mommy's & Mutts" if they clearly discriminate against children owning pets.Who better, than children to own pets? One of the best things of childhood!!! What kind of "so Called" Mommys who inflict so much damage by taking their beloved dog away??? Shame on them!!! I hope a discrimination Attorney takes this up Pro Bono!!! They are clearly punishing the children, not Ellen.Isn't the point to get the Dog a home where she/he is loved & wanted? They are clearly Priority Challenged!!!!
37. Pablo - October 17, 2007 1:30 PM
What's the big deal? "Terrier" dogs should all be put to death anyway. (Where's Michael Vick when you need him?)
38. cate - October 17, 2007 1:38 PM
This poor family gets their dog taken away, yet Britney still has hers....
sad.
39. Auntie Kryst - October 17, 2007 1:53 PM
Goddamn Hollywood, stupid shits! They even go so far to designate who is worthy to own a pet? Seriously, protection for the dog? Having and caring for a dog is one of the great joys of childhood. That is just plain arrogant and assholish of that agency.
PS you know what dog spelled backward is right? That one is for you religious Britney fanfucktards out there...You're most welcome.

41. Doug from Pittsburgh - October 17, 2007 3:00 PM
Ellen only proved she was incapable of being a good pet owner by stating that she spent over 3000 dollars getting this dog trained. If you can't train it yourself, you don't deserve the pet. Just because you are a celeb does not mean you are exempt from rules. Rules are put in place to keep society in check, the moment you ask for an exemption Mike Vick will ask for one. Who gets to judge which one is worse is a single opinion not a majority.
42. Trish - October 17, 2007 3:22 PM
@Doug: Oh, for pete's sake... paying a professional dog trainer makes someone "undeserving" of a pet? That would be bad news to my friends who make their living as dog trainers, if it were true! By that logic, if you can't teach your kids to drive but instead send them to an accredited driver training school, clearly you are a selfish idiot who shouldn't have been allowed to reproduce. Or... no, wait, did you send them to school at all? You slacker! Way to shirk your responsibilities there! LOL
And cleaving to rules without recourse to human emotions or common sense is just a bad, bad idea. What about the individual circumstances of a case? Some people are unfit to keep a pet at any age. I would have thought a reputable pet adoption agency would be more concerned with the needs of the dog than the age of the children. "I was only following the rules" is just another way of saying "I refuse to use my own judgement" in a situation like this.

I'm a dog and I don't care who I'm given to. You humans humanize us too much. If you want to adopt, adopt your own kind.

OH those poor 11 and 12 year olds...waaa I'm sure Mommy Hair Dresser to the Stars can't afford another oversized hamster.
Thats not even a dog. Maybe thats why she was confused. She probably thought she was buying a rodent of some sort or maybe some sort of strange dildo toy.
49. Dan - October 17, 2007 8:09 PM
Seriously, who, mentally sane, makes such a huge over such a small thing? I am embarassed that I even spent the time to make this post, because this is such a stupid thing to argue over. Four minute clip about our troops in Iraq and the people supplying them with food stealing money, and then 30 minute special about THIS CRAP? BOO HOO!
50. jacknasty - October 17, 2007 8:42 PM
Ellen thinks just because she is famous the rules don't apply!
The rules are you cant adopt a dog and give it away,and small dogs cant go to families with kids. But Ellen cries on her show about it and people go ape shit.
Totally side with Mutts and Moms!
and why cant they just go to a humane society or breeder like normal people?
51. Big Dumb Oaf - October 17, 2007 8:59 PM

You're premature- hell you're prolly underage too. Get a gas mask and come back in about 17 posts. Then dive in. Like I always say- Better you than me.
54. Fred - October 17, 2007 11:18 PM
Mutts and Mom's or whatever it's called is prolly pissed because they could have gotten the dog back and sold it again for another thousand bucks in "administration fees" Don't be a baby lady, just be a lady baby.

57. Uncle Eccoli - October 18, 2007 9:54 AM
Good. I hope some of those crazies try to carry out their threats. I have a dog, I love my dog, but I fucking hate 'dog people.' You know, those fucking losers whose self esteem is so low for whatever reason that they surround themselves with dogs as a substitute for human contact and human relationships. They know EVERYTHING there is to know about dogs (they think they do, anyway) and are impossibly holier-than-thou about any disagreements that crop up over canine care. They call their dogs their 'kids' and refer to themselves in the third person as "Mummy" or "Daddy" when addressing the dogs. See, these are terrified, pathetic little people who feel they've no control over their lives so they maniacally control dogs' lives, and, by extension, the lives of those to whom they've been gracious enough to permit a dog. When Ellen gave the dog away, they dog people lost that control and that sent their sad little neuroses spinning. I fucking hate 'dog people.'
58. G.C. - October 18, 2007 10:00 AM
@57 You are correct sir! Especially this sentence " When Ellen gave the dog away, they dog people lost that control and that sent their sad little neuroses spinning." That's it in a nutshell.
59. Jena - October 18, 2007 1:08 PM
Poor girl ... Have you seen her telling how much she misses the dog in this TMZ video? (http://www.weshow.com/us/p/19802/ellen_degeneres_drama)
In this video Ellen explains why she decided to tell the drama is her program. Although I've found Ellen's attitude ridiculous, I just don't understand why not to let the girl stay with the dog.
60. Bambi - October 18, 2007 1:36 PM
I've lost all respect for Ellen. She signed a contract. She broke the contract. Then, she uses her considerable public position to whine about the contract holder exercising their rights to the dog of the contract.
If she hadn't broken the contract, her hairdresser's kids wouldn't have become attached to a dog that was then taken away.
Because people are such sheep and Ellen is one of their shepards ... she can do no wrong. That's BS ... she messed up. That's ok, we all do, but she's using her starpower to try and blur her misconduct.
The fact that that the organization who took the dog back may be wrong is not the issue. The contract is the issue. Now, this organization has death threats against them. I'm sure this whole thing is taking time away from dogs needing homes.
Ellen blew it. She's fallable. She's imperfect ... like the rest of us.
Be a stand up gal, Ellen, and admit you're shortcomings.
Bambi
61. Uncle Eccoli - October 18, 2007 2:32 PM
@60 Based on the tone of your post, it seems pretty clear that you lost all respect for Ellen long before this incident (if you ever had any). I believe you are simply glad to see her suffer for whatever reason.
That the dog people were wrong to take the dog is the ENTIRE issue. To suggest that is all about the 'contract' is no different from citing archaic sodomy laws in condemning a man about to be imprisoned for sexual acts he committed in the privacy of his own home. Injustice that hides behind the letter of law or the language of a fleetingly-signed pseudo-document is still injustice.
No, this whole fiasco is all about the psychology of 'dog people.' It has come out that the shelter in question has in the past placed small dogs in households with children - the hairdresser's children were therefore obviously not the real issue. If these dog people were truly concerned with the dogs, they at most would have had a look at the hairdresser's household, then said, "Thank you for giving Iggy a home and seeing to his needs. Thank you for adopting him rather than going out and buying a dog." But, of course, they didn't. This has sadly been about nothing more than jealously guarding the small measure of power that they have claimed as proprietors of an animal shelter.
62. debisis - October 18, 2007 8:28 PM
yeah, well doesn't seem fair that the agency is taking the dogs away from a good home, some people are just as egotistical as much as a whaling, silly elle degernerate. i am ashamed of her as a woman. even as a straight woman.
63. sgtbrwning - October 18, 2007 11:03 PM
Totally support the rescue folks...if you break the contract, you lose the dog. Ellen shouldn't be pissing and whining on her show because she didn't like the dog and gave it away which her and her partner said they wouldn't do. Dont go whining to the public and try to bully your way around. It's petty and childish and completely in character for lots of Hollywood types but I wouldn't have expected it of her. The rescue folks COULD have done a home visit for the other family but they weren't obligated to do so...face it, Ellen and partner could have followed the rules but they didn't...tough shit for them, life's hard. THEY broke the kids heart, not the rescue folks...
