Summary:
A two-year-old boy was in hospital yesterday with serious facial
injuries after being attacked by dogs during a Jubilee party. Two dogs -
reportedly Staffordshire bull terriers, mauled the lad, who has not yet been
named. The boy was airlifted to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol with serious
wounds to his face. A 49-year-old man also received a hand injury as he tried
to pull the dogs of the toddler. Wiltshire Police said both dogs had been
seized following the mauling. No one has been arrested in connection with the attack
yet, the force added.
Reaction:
It is obviously
horrible whenever young children are wounded and have to be taken to hospital.
It is not yet clear who is the owner of the dogs and I am sure that person will
be arrested when that happens. Since it is not clear why the dogs attacked we do
not know who is guilty or responsible for it. Maybe the child provoked the dogs
in some way or there was something else going on. It is also possible that the
dogs were aggressive themselves in which case the owner should have kept them
away from young children.
I agree, this is really horrible. Also, I find it sad that this could happen. Dogs do not just start attacking kids, nor do I believe the toddler could have really provoked them. At the very least, the owner is responsible for allowing his dogs to exhibit this behaviour.
ReplyDeleteCould it be the case that the dogs were aggravated by the celebrations going on. For that very reason we lock our pets inside during New Year celebration. And due to popular demand: "look at the widdle doggie, innie cute, innie adorable, yus he iiiiis!"
