John Strong Wants to Reattach Puppy's Leg

strongpup0709.jpg Stop it, John Strong. Just. Stop. It. The Coney Island freakshow proprietor is hell bent on getting his 5-legged puppy, even now that it has undergone a procedure to remove the extra limb. He declared, “I’m going to get it back on the dog. I don’t like people cutting off my puppy’s leg. When it became personal, and she’s (Siegel) being made out as a hero, and I’m being out as a bad guy, that’s not fair to me … (I’m) not going to be portrayed that way, at least not without a fight.” Mr. Strong, sometimes bad press is bad press. And that is certainly all it will be if you re-attach a 5th leg to a cute little innocent puppy. The HSUS's Patrick Kwan told us, "I think what's important for the dog is a loving, caring, permanent home and no animal deserves to be made into a spectacle. I doubt anyone would consider a Coney Island freak show to be the best home for an animal, especially considering Coney Island's future is often up in the air." Indeed. But at least he's no longer showing his two-headed baby (or maybe he is, photos aren't allowed inside his show).

John Strong is a delusional man. He needs to get some help.

Finally, there's a case to be made for Joe Sitt and Thor to ruin Coney Island...

That's ridiculous, but I would hope that the leg has already been disposed of. In any case it's already been more than a day since the procedure, it can't be really good shape.

Er...I'm starting to think this dude has some serious issues. Besides, if he's so obsessed with having a 5-legged dog, and he's okay with the leg being artificially attached, why not get a dog that doesn't cost $5000 for that purpose?

Not that I'm actually advocating such a thing...

what the fuck? get a life man, really leave the poor dog alone before I find you & cut your leg off ...

or why doesn't he just get a new puppy and sew eagles wings or human hands on it, something a little more fun and interesting-that 5th leg wasn't all that great

He could attach the puppy leg to his own head and then HE can be the freak!

So when this began I didn't think he was THAT crazy. I thought he was just a man who had "strong" beliefs (wakka wakka). Why tear off the dogs leg? Ok, I can understand that. BUT! Now that the dog's leg is off he has proven himself to be crazy. He shoulda kept his mouth shut. Sew it back on? SHUT UP YOU FREAK!!!

Seriously DUE, what do you think this, a game of Pin the Leg on the doggie? he's a mess.

John Strong, you are a dick.

where's that guy who was arguing for Strong's wealth of good character traits on the last post?

I'd like to see that man take out that machine and stick it in his own brain, d'you know what I mean?
