9-Year Old Badly Hurt In Pit Bull Attack By Michael George SHEBOYGAN- 9-year old A.J. Sterling is recovering at home after being attacked by a pit bull. His injuries are severe, and his parents are angry with the dog’s owners.
Witness Connor Lieser tells TODAY’S TMJ4 the attack appeared to be unprovoked, as the boy was reaching down to pet the dog.
Maria Ramirez and Afero Sterling, parents of A.J., just watched him go through plastic surgery. He was bitten on the face by the pit bull just one block from his home in Sheboygan.
“I wouldn’t want any child to go through that, let alone any person. It’s just really hard,” said Ramirez.
Police say the dog was being walked by a 12-year old girl on the sidewalk. A.J.’s parents say their son told them he was talking to the girl when the dog started growling. A.J. says he was backing away.
“That’s when the dog lunged at him. He said it bit him in the face, drug him across the ground, and that’s when it ripped his cheek off,” said Afero Sterling.
The gruesome injury described by Afero is confirmed by witness and police accounts.
Police will be checking whether the dog has a history of violence or has rabies. For now, the dog is on quarantine at the owner’s home. A.J.’s parents say they were told the dog was originally rescued from an abusive or neglectful background. They say the dog’s current owners are to blame for the attack.
“That dog needs to be put to sleep. To have a 12-year old girl walk around a pit bull with a history of abuse and neglect and violence, it’s just absurd to me,” said Maria Ramirez.
A.J. is now out of the hospital and recovering at home, but he will likely need more plastic surgery in 6 months. Police are still investigating to determine whether any charges will be filed against the owner or whether the dog will be surrendered or put down.
I understand everything stated in a rational, readable, English language form.
[bizarre, disjointed rantings, not so much]....;]
Now you’re calling for us to be “gassed”?
Tsk, tsk.
We *are* a violent, unstable little thing, aren’t we?
Thanks, but I don’t take flames from flaming types seriously. They’re city slickers living in a synthetic world with too much television in it. I’ve been in places like that at times. Some of ‘em have laws that are not friendly for self-defense and can’t even legally carry firearms. Some of ‘em have liability dogs.
Where I live, good dogs can guard livestock to some extents, but we human beings take care of security against two-legged predators. You and I know that there are many ways to do that without the risks to ourselves of having animals that will maul neighbors. Animal worshippers don’t even know the various real natures of each of the animals in front of ‘em. I love livestock and pets in some ways and try to take good care of them, but I don’t try to make them out to be anything other than what they are.
Try and be *just* a little more obscure and enigmatic next time, wouldja?

“Thanks, but I don’t take flames from flaming types seriously.”
Which is no doubt why you spend so much time arguing with them.
“They’re city slickers living in a synthetic world with too much television in it.”
You *truly* do not comprehend the demographics/geography of western MD, do you?
YOU WROTE: CAREFUL SON, YOU MIGHT SPLIT YOUR PANTS:
Perhaps you can understand this: You said some one MIGHT split their pants.
.How could you know what size pants the freeper has. It was a try at sarcasm, but done badly...Since you have no idea about anyones pants..you must be psychic. that according to the mods is another way of making your remark personal.... I have been accused of MAKING IT PERSONAL and so do some of the freepers (lovers of the dog of peace). You should take the beam out of your eye before you try to remove the splinter of another....
Dobe are one regal looking dog...
It had, I assure you, utterly *nothing* to do with the physical girth of the poster.
I do apologize that it went *completely* over your head.
[I'll aim lower, next time]....:)
Again I never accused either one of doing drugs, you pills haven't kicked in yet I see....
to prove I said anything about drugs, you should cut and paste it with my name on it...otherwise your clearly mistaken and making it up as you go along just like the obama administration...
After the gas comes the Bayonets,,,
Hippies like you think tire tools/chains/ETC.,,,
Who will protect you ?...
Went to the post you described didn’t see the Mason Dixon line mentioned...again making it up as you go along.
“you pills haven’t kicked in yet I see....”
“otherwise your clearly mistaken and making it up as you go along just like the obama administration...”
OMG...an ad hominem twofer!
Your hypocrisy literally knows no bounds!
The other guy said all pit bull owners were junkies [knowing full well I neither have a pit bull or am a “junkie”]and you jumped in, as usual and wound up where you didn’t belong.
You’ve only yourself to blame for that.
Go back and card the wool of this thread, yourself.
Somewhere, you might discover the warp and weft of its weaving.
lol getting a little testy I guess. If it still applies I will still use it....trying to censor someone, typical liberal
OMG!
A trifecta!
Oh, it just doesn’t get any better than this.
[never forget...hippos symbolize hypocrisy....sweet dreams]
Out of your typing, your bizarre, disjointed rantings continue....
you sure do speak gobbley gook
Maybe all them pills is the problem,Granny,,,
You know how them hippies are...;0)
Since your buddys on this thread said politician are open game, you have to subtract one from your attacks...
Laughing at your poor excuse for an insult. Carding has to do with lining up the fibers in one direction. Your assumption that I card is silly and an assumption of yours based on no evidence..Before you can weave, you card, and make rovings and spin into yarn, then you are ready to weft or warf your loom. its been years so wefting and warfing has long since been lost to my memory,as to which is which, I had a table top loom. One is threaded up and down the loom, the other is the yard being thrown via a shuttle left to right..or right to left...
You left out the shearing, handsorting of the fiber to use...rassling with goats to shear them....
Time to go to bed taa taa
