Current Event – 11/13

“9 year old mauled to death by pit bull on Long Island,” is an article set on People News.

On topicality of death by dog, a 9 year old, unidentified girl, was attacked while playing with 2 friends. In the backyard of an Elmont, New York home, a dog attacked the girl, biting at her neck and violently shaking her. With a neighbor calling 911, police showed to the scene as the canine began to attempt an attack on police, but was shot and killed in the process. In critical condition, the child was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.

I feel an upset sense of safety while examining this event. I’ve always had a slight fear of animals becoming violent and attacking me. Reading this brings my fear to life again from a deep source within me. I think that dog owners should keep their dogs close and their dogs obedience on an even shorter leash. I feel like the girls parents should file charges against the owner, because the owner is responsible for the dog, and their dog is responsible for the death.

This affects the world because their are dogs everywhere. This is not the only occurrence of dogs attacking other people resulting in fatal and dangerous injuries. I feel like this is wrong, anywhere in the world. People, everywhere should take responsibility. Death by dog , is wrong in my mind.
