ARABI A five-year-old boy received 32 stitches and will require plastic surgery after he was attacked by a neighbors pit bull while in his familys driveway Thursday night. The boy, whose name wasnt released by the Sheriffs Office, was treated at Tulane Medical Center after the incident in the 2200 block of Mehle Avenue in Arabi and has been released, St. Bernard Parish Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
According to Pohlmann, the boy was outside playing with his Godfather in their driveway, when the pit bull, which was running free at the time, attacked the boy, biting him in the face before his Godfather hit the dog several times to get him to let go.
The dogs owner, Rosalie Aguilar, 47, who said the animal had never hurt anyone before, was cited by parish animal control officers for allowing the seven-month-old male pit bull to run free.
Beth Brewster, director of animal control, said the owner signed the dog over to the parish and because he would be deemed vicious and non-adoptable because of the unprovoked attack, the animal will be held 10 days and then euthanized.
wow...who ever knew a pit bull would do such a thing!/s
“its never hurt anyone before” , who the hell cares. It hurt someone NOW!
Anybody who’d own or keep one of those things in an urban or suburban area is an asshole.
Why so scared? Are you afraid of cats? Of Icecream... b/c it will make you fat? What else should be banned?
Sounds like a good ending to this story, poor boy that got bit..owner should pay all bills for this family...
Anybody who is afraid of a breed of dog is a chickenSh*T
The cure for the common pit-bull problem...
I don’t even know you, lady.
Being a liberal afraid of everything is for the Demo Underbelly... liberalism of any stripe, yellow or pale, is still liberal
A compound bow? You are so afraid of a dog you feel you have to buy a $500 compound bow? That is really a realm of being afraid I don’t understand.
So a child gets his face chewed up and you have problems with the poster, interesting.
You have pits don’tcha?
A kid gets hurt with a gun... should it be banned?... retarded logic.
No, but liberalism is a gross disgusting thing to be expelled like chunky puke from the belly of a pig.
Yea, so why are you using it.
dogs shouldn’t be banned, as the same poster every week would like.
