Whistleblower Surgeon Shreds Actor’s Claims Pitbulls Aren’t Dangerous, Carries Glock 19 To The Park Just In Case

A leading-emergency room physician took to twitter Tuesday sharing horror pitbull attack stories after an actor told a New York radio show the dogs are the victim of racism.

“One of the most common calls I get from the ER are for dog attacks – 99% pit bulls,” Eithan Haim MD, who is no stranger to unmasking fraud, posted on X.

“Mostly these are family pits who all the sudden just snap,” Haim wrote.”I’ve seen kids with chewed out eyeballs and scalped faces.”

Haim posted in response to @LeadingReport, which tweeted the claims of actor Jon Bernthal that pitbulls are victimized by what Bernthal called “dog racism.”

The Maine Wire carried Bernthal’s claims earlier this week.

Bernthal had recently appeared on the Howard Stern show defending pitbulls as meek, maligned pets that are no more vicious than chiwawaa.

Dr. Haim, a general surgeon who has 82,000 followers on X, tells pitbull stories that put to utter shame Bernthal’s ridiculous claims.

“One time there was a kid who got bit in the face – one cheek with a perfect childhood dimple, the other cheek nothing but blood and gore” Haim recounted.

“Very rare to see kids after suffering a prolonged attack since they’re dead at the scene. But adults often survive prolonged attacks.

“There was one lady – middle aged, relatively large – who agreed to watch a friend’s pit bull. She got attacked in her garage. She showed up with both arms and one leg partially amputated, nearly all the skin of her anterior chest and abdomen was ripped from the underlying fascial layers.

“This is all to say that every time I go to the park with my kid, I carry a Glock 19 – partially for protection against societal dregs/third-worlders but more so for protection against their dogs.”

Haim, 33, happens to be a self-described whistleblower who ratted out Texas Children’s Hospital for denying it was performing “transgender medical interventions,” as he calls the procedures, on minors.

“We exposed the fact that Texas Children’s Hospital – the largest children’s hospital in the world – was lying to the public about the existence of their transgender program,” Haim says on a website raising money for his legal defense.

Haim has raised $1.4 million so far of his $2 million goal.

Biden’s justice department had charged Haim with stealing private patient data and sharing it with a conservative activist.

Trump’s justice department dropped the charges after he took office, deeming them to be nothing more than Joe Biden promoting transgenderism.

So it isn’t all of them but it’s always one of them. The good doctor is very right.

Ok boomer. Pitbulls are bad. Like this hasn’t been reported on a 1,000 times.

Meanwhile, Trump is destroying democracy.

This is a really good use of page space.

I was driving through a residential area with my pet Doberman sitting in the passenger seat (he loved to ride in cars) when I heard/felt hard on the right side of the car.

A pitbull had come out of an alley and literally attacked my car. The pitbull tried to jump through the window which fortunately was closed.

Pitties are amazing dogs. Shame on The Maine Wire for even posting this nonsense. Do better! You should be reporting news. Not about your biased opinion towards a breed. GTFOH with that nonsense. Report news or give it up.

I don’t trust any pitbull and carry when I go to the dog park. Every attack I’ve witnessed was a pitbull instigator. I loved one who was a rescued breeder. But would never have her around a child. I am a little racist, especially toward actors and doctors.
