Things keep getting worse for America's favorite bounty hunter, just days after a taped hate-filled tirade was released.
A&E has now pulled "Dog the Bounty Hunter" from the air indefinitely. "In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take `Dog The Bounty Hunter' off the network's schedule for the foreseeable future," the network said in a statement Friday. "We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun."
Officials for the network said the series, one of the network's top-rated programs, has not been canceled. Yet.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE? CANT THEY SEE THAT PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES AND FOR PETE SAKE HIS OWN SON GAVE THAT TAPE TO THE REPORTERS SO HOW DOES THAT LOOK. I FORGIVE YOU DOG FOR YOU ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE DOING GOOD IN THIS WORLD AND SOME PEOPLE CAN NOT SEE THAT BUT THAT IS THEM.

Dog although we do not like the word that you used, you are only human. Everyday of our lives we says thing that we don't mean. I really thought that at this stage we would be over the "n" word thing, but sadly, people still, for whatever reason, hang on to it. It is just a word. Sticks and stones........ All of you out there that have never used the "N" word, raise your hand. MMMHMMM thought so.......0
We need to boycott the sponsors of the show. They put the pressure on A&E to pull Dog. P.S. I was more upset about seeing Brittany Spears without panties.

I think A&E is STUPID!!!! I will no longer watch any show on that network until Dog is brought back!!! What dog said was supposed to be said in a private conversation with his son of all people, its not Dog's fault that his son is a traider. I dont think what he said was how it was supposed to be taken. I dont feel that dog is prejudice in any way!! People just need to get over it. Dog is a great man who does great things for the greater good and anyone who cant get past a stupid mistake he made just needs to shut up!!!!!

I really liked Dog, I never had a clue he was a racist or would even use such langauge against black Americans. I am so dissapointed but, he is white and this is how 97% talk behind close doors. Its sad but just another bitter taste of reality.

I won't watch A&E until this show is permanently gone! His lack of heart and bitter nature has been been permanently etched on the minds of discerning individuals...get rid of this horrible hero....

We still get the repeats on Bravo channel in England. I hope another channel will snap up Dog and Co. Tucker should be ashamed. I just hope the money he 'earned' by betraying his loving father isn't going up his nostrils.
xx Love to Dog, Beth and the pups xx

I like the Dog and his show. He has done a lot of good for a lot of people. This is a real shame.

Soon we'll be reading about the criminal investigation into his statement that you can't work for him AND date a black person. Book 'em, Danno!

They already yanked it off the cable schedule a day ago. Now A&E is promoting bringing back old shows to fill in the blanks. Serves the idiot right! Hope you like endless re-runs of Intervention.
