The Scalfani | The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss. | ||
With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions. Jack has also stated that he refuses to get his dogs treated if the operation costed more than the price he paid for their adoption.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wC5OhERg_M</ref> It's a good thing Jack hates cats at least...<ref>https://allthatbugs.blogspot.com/2008/09/funniest-6-seconds-ever.html</ref> | |||

Transporting the dog between homes was complicated, with Jack stating he spent $150 to have her sent with a kennel on, taking two flights due to temperature considerations.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37F358lIXXU</ref> According to [[Guests#Joe Chavez|Joe Chavez]], Cupcake got really fat late in its life.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/978827853359640616</ref> Jack first stated Cupcake was dead in November 2017, however she likely died earlier, with her last appearance in a video being in August 2015.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLnRGOFzeWA</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp3Jioh5dDo</ref> | ||
Unlike certain later dogs, Cupcake did not appear much in videos at all; in fact Jack actively tried keeping her off-camera, shooing her whenever she tried entering the kitchen,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR3IMvXQJY0</ref> and being annoyed at viewers asking him to show her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dfR0A_BXjw</ref> | |||

'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in a small apartment with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref> | '''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in a small apartment with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref> | ||
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800. Craigslist's moderators, however, were quick to shut it down once more.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12018672</ref> The dogs eventually left the Scalfanis' hands by another undisclosed method. One can only hope the dogs ended up in a far better situation - possibly with owners who saw them as pets rather than assets. | Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers.

Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope. | ||

These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit | These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref> | ||
