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.
“Succinct, at least.”
Aim with the hand,,,

It’s funny, how bullets know the difference between a chihuahua and a pit bull. Pit bulls are natural born bullet magnets, and their owners seem to be attracted to prisons.
At least I finally know where the PA guy went....:))
Some folks just don’t get it,,,
Till the Bullet Hits The Bone!!!...
“That’s an hysterical and illogical argument.”
Oh, spare me.
We are not living in the Victorian age.
“The daily news about pit bull maulings, including killings of children, will continue to be published and circulated. If the frequent and true news of pit bulls killing children tends to “aggrandize the ‘reputation’ of these dogs” in the minds of criminals, it helps to bring those criminals down and deprive them of one of their tools”
Yeah.
How’s that working out, so far?
Just like guns, *all* of them will be banned, therefore depriving responsible owners while the scum will continue to have them, regardless.
‘We feed their vanities before taking them down.”
That “psychology” is so bass-ackwards I hardly even know where to begin.
The military is mobilizing against pit bulls?
Otherwise, your post makes absolutely no contextual sense.
[and *please* stop with the “Jedi Warrior” jazz]
‘It’s also common knowledge that most pit bull owners are drug addicts. “
Apparently, a lot of your conservative FR compatriots have them.
Are they all junkies, too?
What is Rachel Ray or Cesar Milan’s “drug of choice”?
[Milan trains dogs for the LAPD, in case you didn’t know. I’d think they’d urine test him, at some point]
“Sweeping generalizations” are ineffective.
And that “story” doesn’t send up red warning flags, to you?
Who could possibly _sleep through_ their newborn baby being ripped to shreds in bed, beside them?
Hell, I got my Dobermann pup when he was 5 1/2 weeks old and slept with him cuddled against my stomach.
If he so much as whimpered or moved in his sleep, my eyes snapped open instantly to check if he was okay and *I* didn’t even have all those “maternal instincts”/hormonal drives because he wasn’t actually my “baby”.
This story absolutely reeks of ‘something not yet known’.
[and *many* posters have said as much in their replies...have you interrogated *them*, as well?]
When I was a city girl I had to call my neighbor to take a mouse trap out of the house with a mouse in it....farming toughens you up pretty fast. It took losing my rabbits to a pack of dogs and my house warming gift of 4 banty to a coon that turned me into a vermin hater, especially coons, they are nastier than spit (as another freeper put it)
We all have our personal reasons for doing and feeling like we do...I would never pry into your reasons as you said, they are personal...
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women [FO: and pit bull worshipping drug addicts],
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
Pit bulls are varmints bent on predation, and heavy pills of lead are the cure.

No Jedi Jazz here!,,,,
Those are MY children,,,
None of us will be eaten by anything,,,
I thought I made that plain for ALL to understand...
These are your state laws regarding “dangerous dogs”.
http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stuslars14_102_14_2771_2778.htm
If the neighbor’s dogs fulfill any of the legal requirements, you may shoot them and be within your legal rights.
So just shut up and shoot them.
