I just looked at all this as this could have been my son, said Villa. And I don't want it to be someone else.

Today that number has risen to 59,064 Likes' and continues to grow. Mickey, a 5 year-old pit bull that attacked a 4 year-old Phoenix boy.While Mickey's Facebook page is dominated by support for him and criticism of the child's family and babysitter, several comments show how contentious the debate between pit bull lovers and others often are following incidents such as this, when a pit bull badly injures someone, particularly a child.Every bit as passionate and chippy as any debate about politics, religion or Flappy Bird, an argument between a pit bull supporter and non-supporter can get down right vicious.In this case, those that support Mickey generally cast the dog as an innocent victim that was just doing his thing. They place blame for the attack squarely on the parents and baby sitter of the boy, with some also including the owner of the pit bull for various reasons. So as not to seem unfeeling for the injured child, they also usually include some hopes and/or prayers that he heals quickly.Those that think Mickey should be put down generally point out that the breed is inherently dangerous because of its http://www.buycabalalz.com ability to inflict severe damage or death should it decide to attack or be having a bad day.One story posted by The Examiner calling Mickey's supporters misguided received particular admonishment and criticism.

I've had a lot of support. What more can I ask for? said Floridalma through a Spanish interpreter. I appreciate their support, their candles, their messages, even though I don't know how to read English. I appreciate with all my heart. At the same time, she seems baffled by some of the reaction motivated by the attack on her young son. It disturbed me at first that they (Mickey's supporters) placed more value on an animal than on a child, and that made me feel very bad, explained Floridalma. If they don't care about him (Kevin), well, I do. But most of all, Floridalma wanted to make sure how appreciative she was of all Kevin's supporters, saying, Thank you so much for all the support without knowing me, and for sending good wishes for Kevin's recovery. Thanks to everybody for taking the time to give what they have given. Thank you so much. God bless you. Help is being accepted to contribute to Kevin's recovery.
