Kevin Vicente
(note the tracheostomy
in his neck)
|
Kevin was in the company of a male babysitter, while his mother was at work. The circumstances of the attack seem muddied. However, it has been reported that the boy tried to pick up a bone that was on the ground near the chained dog, when the dog attacked the boy.
Kevin was hospitalized at a local hospital with a broken eye socket, broken cheek bone and broken lower jaw bone. He is recovering but doctors state that Kevin will require months and possibly years of reconstructive surgeries.
How painful will these surgeries be for this little boy in the coming years? It has not been determined if his damaged eye socket will be able to produce tears, which will result in constant attention and medication in the future.
It has been reported that the pit bull, "Mickey", killed another dog last year.
The issue of the euthanasia of Mickey will go before a court in Phoenix on March 25, 2014.
Supporters of "Mickey" have a Facebook page, an advocacy group and a lawyer who are pushing to save this mutt because it is a "poor, innocent dog". This support page has over 40,000 "likes" in support. Almost $6,000. has been collected to fight the euthanization of this dog.
Jesus, all saints and all angels pray for us. God save us from this stupidity.
Mauling by dogs is not acceptable in a civilized country. This dog has demonstrated the ability to maim a child.
What more proof do you need that this dog is a current danger and is a possible future danger to human beings?
Where are the lawmakers in Phoenix and in Arizona? Why do you allow dangerous dog breeds to exist in your jurisdiction? Many other towns, cities and states ban these nasty mutts outright and so should you.
Any judge in Arizona who allows this dog to continue to live and to be a possible future threat to the populace should re-examine his or her usefulness in the justice system.
Pray for Kevin Vicente.
Pray that this poor kid fully recovers from the physical and mental trauma of this tragic and unnecessary attack. Amen.
