Please save the puppy...

A one-month old baby allegedly got some of its toes chewed off by a pit bull puppy.

No one knows for sure if the puppy is responsible for chewing off the child's toes, but whether the pit bull did it or not--the child's parents should be jailed forever. They claim they were sleep while the child's foot was brutalized (that's questionable--wouldn't you have heard a baby crying if something was eating its foot?).

And during all the hoopla created about this incident the public responds by saying they want to save the puppy.

What?

For real? The puppy? The same puppy that has chewed off someone toes and could potentially be a threat to the community?

Wow.

What about the maimed baby?

It's been reported the animal shelter that's housing the pitbull has received several phone calls from folks wanting to know if the animal can be saved. But I bet the state department of children services hasn't gotten any phone calls about the one-month-old baby.

I can only imagine its hard to take care of a baby. Lord knows I'm not ready to step up and do it but am I the only person that thinks its a little weird that most folks are more concerned about saving a dog than they are a human?

Thanks, Melissa!

I really like what you said. I think this whole situation is just craziness. And, you're right the parents should not be allowed to have any more kids. I understand about people not wanting the dog to put euthanized but what if it did chew off the child's toes...is it likely that he'd do something like that again?

We're not to the point yet where we sterilize people for being bad parents.

The point is that it's Christmas and the child has no toes!

Melissa...couldn't have said it better myself. Most people just don't want the puppy to be euthanized because society doesn't give animals second chances. Those are reserved for people like the worthless parents of this baby.
