Dear Editor,
Having read the story by Alphea Saunders in the Sunday Observer of October 9, 2016, entitled ‘Vicious Dog Attack’, I could do naught but turn in my proverbial grave!
The pit bulls must have come straight from hell. Oh, but the gracious human, who, according to the article, emerged from the domain to ask that the child victim be removed from her gate was what left me wide-eyed and gasping.
Were I not schooled in a particular way, I’d be quite inclined to say, “Put the woman away!” Surely she must be mentally incompetent to have allowed her ‘charges’ free rein to harm passers-by.
Now the public is being asked to make donations so that the four-year-old child may access further medical treatment abroad. At the same time, based on the report, neither a cent nor a word of sympathy has been had from the guardian of the hell hounds.
My bidding to other people with animals, particularly dogs, is to keep them in line, so to speak. Control them!
I wish that the little man and his family will be strengthened in spite of their ordeal.
The owner of the dogs, on the other hand, should give them to some responsible individuals and then begin to chant the Act of Contrition, unceasingly, until her day of reckoning.
‘O tempora! O mores!’
