Why The Hullaballoo Over Felicia Fox's Dog?
2003-05-31 21:37:47
Felecia Fox's dog Bubba has been found.
Now, I like Tim Case and Felicia Fox and Mike South and company. I'm glad
Felicia has her dog back. I don't have any problem with the effort she
went to get it back. I do think it's strange how others reacted, piling
on with offers of cash and featuring the story prominently on their websites.
Scott Fayner writes on www.l-keford.com:
Now Luke’s being a real asshole here, there’s no doubt about that. I’m
not surprised. He came into this business with dreams of tearing it apart.
Like we need any help with that.
First off Luke, the hysteria came out of kindness. I don’t care if she
lost her f-cking ass cherry. If she’s heartbroken over it, I’ll help her
look for it. Well, maybe not, ‘cause it’d probably be on the tip of some
dude’s dick. But I would help her get the word out.
I’m thinking that maybe because Luke’s from a inferior country he can’t
quite grasp how someone can love a pet the way so many of us do. sh-t,
at this point I’d have to think a moment before choosing whether to shoot
my dog or my mother in the face with a gun if I had to pick one. She may
not admit it, but my mother would probably encounter the same dilemma
if choosing between me and her dog. People love their animals this much.
If what you say is true about porn people having meaningless lives, Luke,
wouldn’t your life be even more meaningless because your whole existence
is reliant on them? And with that in mind, wouldn’t you be galiently leading
the Hysteria Brigade to get this porn chick her dog back, not resting
your precious head until Felicia and Bubba are reunited?
If you were human you would.
I know to some this may seem silly, even stupid. But some of these porn
girls do have serious troubles in their lives, and sometimes the love
of a pet is the only thing keeping them from ultimate despair. Luke questioning
this just shows how much he truly hates all of you.

An Open Response, to DUC and Setgo.com, regarding animals...
First, again, all my thanks for the adult community for your support.
My dog is safe at home and I got him checked and microchipped yesterday
by a veterinarian.
I'll admit, not everyone in this world is an animal lover, but compassion
for the animal kingdom and compassion for human beings are most definitely
linked. It has been shown many times that serial killers, in childhood,
are fond of torturing animals -- then these same people go on to brutalize
humans in later life. A respect for life should be exactly that...a respect
for all life.
The love that a person feels for a lover, or for a husband or wife, is
not the same as the love that person feels for their mother or father.
Both feelings are very strong, but very different, yet it is all labelled
"love". In exactly the same way, the love a person feels for an animal
is even more different, yet it is still "love" and those same feelings
can be every bit as strong as those felt toward family members.
Compassion. Sensitivity. Love. For people and animals. Emotions and attitudes
that might be seen to be too often lacking in both the world of adult
films, and the world in general.
The family in Reseda accepted a $500 cash reward, and wouldn't take more
than that. I had to push them to accept that much -- they were the nicest
people, and were just getting ready to start running ads in the L.A. Times
that they had found a dog.
Guess I'll just have to go out with Scott Fayner instead.
JimmyD writes: Anyone who would accept money for returning a dog to his/her
owner deserves to be hit by a garbage truck.
There actually are real pet detectives who can do a great job of canvasing
the area where he was lost by calling residents and business and constantly
checking with the shelters.
........................................
DUC says: I remember working at two radio stations where I read and reported
the news. We'd get calls all the time about missing pets. We never ran
any stories about them.
Why the hysteria over Felicia's dog that received coverage on many porn
gossip sites? Because porn people tend to lead lives empty of real meaning
and hence are particularly susceptible to getting swept up in hysteria
over things that have little ultimate meaning, like pets.
You will notice that a ton of porn stars are animal rights activists.
Most animal rights activists are single women with no kids.
Because these porn stars are not married with kids, and these activists
don't have kids, they get hysterical about certain animals, particularly
cute animals. There's nothing moral about this as the hysteria is over
cute animals, not all animals.
And there's nothing that gives inherent value to dogs and cats and animals.
Their only value is that they serve the human being.
Smelly Monkey writes on l-keford.com: Does this mean i can blow out all
2500 candles and take down the 400 pictures of your dog shrine and call
off the 14 hours of straight prayer hoping for the dog's safe return?
Robert Ferrara writes on l-keford.com: Yay! I am so happy for you, a dog
is a part of the family.
DUC says: A dog is a part of the family only for someone who doesn't know
what real family is. Would you truly grieve the loss of your dog as much
as the loss of your spouse or parent or brother?
Smelly Monkey writes on l-keford.com: i remember when this site used to
be good when a little jewish australian used to run it and not care if
porn stars like him or not. now everyone is trying to earn brownie points
with them, like its ever going to lead anywhere. I mean seriously, who
gives a hairy scrotom if a porn star loses her dog or not??, this isn't
a site for lost and found , its a site that was set up to expose the seedy
underworld of porn and its stars.
Happy writes l-keford.com: Glad you found your dog before kahn tusion
did!
AVN.com ran this story:
LOS ANGELES-Adult performer Felicia Fox lost her dog Bubba and offering
a $1000 dollar reward, or a date with her, to person who returns it. Friday
she got some help from KROQ's Kevin and Bean, who had Fox on their morning
show to get the word out.
In the end it was a good old-fashioned flyer that helped bring Bubba,
Fox's dog, home.
The dog had been found by a family in Reseda, who saw a flyer and returned
it to Fox. No word yet on whether the finder took the reward,which had
reached over $1400 dollars via contributions from members of the adult
industry, or the date.

Stupid
Newbie writes on GFY: when I was young my grandfather died. i remember
the funeral somewhat - mostly that it was silent. No one cried, no one
laughed, no one made a noise. It was like waiting in line at the DMV or
at someone's shotgun wedding where she's 6 months and showing - everyone
just prayed for the f-cking thing to be over because no one liked the
man.
Later that year my guinee pig Gilbert died, my immediate family and parts
of my extended family showed up to a little funeral - and suprisingly
most of us cried and spoke of his life.
there isnt really a point to the story, but that's what happened. come
to think of it - the guinee pig wasn't an alcoholic child abuser, that
might of had something to do with it.
Mutt writes on GFY: There's some truth to your observations about some
people's emotional attachment to pets. But you don't have to be Freud
to figure out why many humans form strong attachments to pets.
Humans abuse each other, mentally, physically, we aren't exactly the bee's
knees as a species. If at our core as humans all we want to do is receive
and give love - what's really the difference if the heart resides in a
dog or a cat?
Would you truly grieve the loss of your dog as much as the loss of your
spouse or parent or brother?
Sure, if my dog showed more loyalty and love than my spouse, parent or
brother?
I do think humans are more important than pets but ya know what - I can't
give you a good reason why. Can you DUC?
DUC says: Humans have a moral conscience and can choose between good and
evil. Humans can advance over generations. Humans can create civilization
and culture. Animals can do none of these things.
Human beings were created in the image of God. Animals were not.

Felicia Fox writes 5/30/03 6:24PM: To the entire adult film community...
Words cannot express my sincere gratitude to everyone in adult films for
all your support.
When I went on KROQ in Los Angeles Friday morning and offered a $1000
reward for the return of my missing dog Bubba, I never in my wildest dreams
expected Robert Lombard from Creative Images to offer an additional $100
to "up the ante" and give the listeners a bit more incentive to look for
him. Then in almost no time at all, other people in the adult community
responded with more cash, even further raising the amount being offered
as a reward.
Thank you so much to:
Wayne C Lewis from Ksexradio.com - $100
Den from Dayton, Ohio - $50
Paul Allen from Nightmoves Magazine in Tampa - $100
Gauge and Keith O'Connor - $300
Bisexual Britni - $100
Wolf from insidethelair.com - $100
Rob Ferrara from modelgig.com - $100
Steve Nelson at ainews.com - $100
That brings the total reward being offered for the safe return of my dog
up to $2050.
I cannot begin to express my thanks for all of you. Please, if there's
ever anything that Tim or I can do for any of you, don't hesitate to ask.
All my love,
Felicia Fox

a rather shallow viewpoint don't you think?
You can say that animals have no thoughts, feelings or souls, and then
you can take another small step and say Jews, gays or blacks have no thoughts,
feeling or soul, which is what Hitler did.
if you lack compassion and empathy for animals, generally you lack those
emotions for people as well.
Farley Higgins writes on setgo.com: Luke you ignorant arrogant piece of
sh-t.
How dare you pronounce that you know all the secrets of the universe.
How dare you decide what value an animal does or does not have on this
planet.
For all you know, humans might actually be the lowest form of life on
this planet. You don't have a clue!
Have you ever had a pet? An animal companion of any kind? Have you ever,
during your many quests to find your spiritual center, observed other
animals (because, like it or not, humans are just another form of animal,
no matter what spin you put on it). Have you ever received unconditional
love from another species? I am guessing that the answer to all the above
is NO.
To assume that mankind is the highest, most evolved or created form of
life on this planet is one of the most arrogant things a person can do.
Mankind's domination and ruination of this planet has nothing to do with
brainpower or spiritual superiority. It has nothing to do with brain size
or the ability to think or communicate. All animals can think, all animals
can communicate. Hell, even plants can communicate and probably think.
Mankinds domination of this planet can be attributed to one thing and
one thing only. The fully opposable thumb. Nothing else. The fully opposabble
thumb allows us to create and use tools.
Heres a hint for you Luke. Take a look at a porpoises skeleton some time.
Look at the fin structure and the bones in it. What do you see? All the
bones necessary for a fully opposable thumb. That's righht. Porpoises
have evolved beyond man. They had fully opposable thumbs but evolved beyond
the point where they needed them anymore.
Sometime, at a friends house (if you have any besides your fellow vampire
Confucy) watch the pets. Watch as a friend tells a dog to sit. Did the
dog understand them ? Did the dog do as commanded ? Now continue to watch
over time. The dog will occasionally come in and bark or whimper at his/her
master. The master will try to GUESS at what the dog wants. He will say
"what is it Lassie ? Do you want out? No, ok, do you want food ? No, ok,
do you want to play, etc. Do you get my drift ? The dog can understand
the master, but the master cannot understand the dog. Which is more intelligent
?
Your arrogance is what keeps people away from you by the way.
Have a good day.
