Doctors are fighting for the life of a 12-year-old child from southern Ukraine who has been severely bitten by two Rottweilers. Intensive care specialists have found more than a hundred wounds on the boy’s body.
Sasha Staponkus’ mother, Galina, says she couldn’t recognize her son in the bleeding little boy who she saw on her doorstep on August 28.
“He was bleeding but he was so much in shock that he didn’t even faint, but stood there talking about what had happened. I had a fit of hysterics,” Galina recalls.
“When he walked in I started shouting. He was all bitten, with his face and ears torn into pieces and blood pouring out of his throat. He was not talking but scraping. I can’t help crying looking at him but he says, ‘Please don’t. I’ve come back home’,” said Sasha’s Aunt Zoya Lisitskaya.
The ambulance arrived in a little while to take the victim to hospital where surgeons operated on him during the whole night.
“The boy was brought to hospital in a state of hemorrhagic shock,” Ukrainian news site “Reporter” quotes deputy chief surgeon Dmitry Komarov as saying.
The boy is still in a grave condition and doctors are not sure whether he will survive.
After collecting witness accounts for several days, police have launched on Thursday a criminal case on charges of unintended bodily harm.
Under Ukrainian law this crime can be punished with either 150 to 240 hours of community service, up to two years at a correctional facility, or a two-year term in prison.
Sasha was attacked by the dogs near a local café. It turned out that its owner went to bed, releasing the two dogs on the territory. After the grave incident neither Sasha’s family nor police managed to find the café’s owner. The dogs disappeared as well. The only evidence – the blood-stained ground – was soon cleaned up and covered with a fresh layer of sand.
The boy does not remember how he managed to escape from the Rottweilers. Village residents believe that it was the café owner who took the dogs away. They say it is not the first time the vicious animals have attacked people. A young woman and a man had been attacked previously.
Ukraine has no regulations concerning the purchase of combative dogs. At the same time, killing such a dog in self-defense falls under the law of cruelty to animals, which can lead to a prison sentence.
In most European countries, where breeding of combative dogs is still allowed, these animals are under strict control and require a special permit, similar to those for the possession of guns.

Dogs can be instant dangerous beasts that kill, but do not have to be leashed or licensed and/or found in the event of murdering a human being - could simply be an attack of near death at the time and then death ultimately due to the physical extent of critical mass damage? Did this get written correctly - am I missing something in my inability to actually read the language of how Russia perceives 'life' value? .... ... Professional level martial arts reach the ability to instantly kill with their hands and therefore, it is considered a dangerous weapon to be a high martial artist. These human beings are not given a pass regardless of how amazing it is to see, and dogs insanely packing to kill and doing so should not be given a pass by any stretch of the imagination: especially when applicable to children! Heaven, hell, earth and the whole universe forbid this stupidity in the 21st Century most definitely.
We have a mania spreading out through America tied to the craze in owning dogs. Searching back in the past to Vienna, Austria in the mid eighteen hundreds, one meets with the identical situation surrounding, the dangers of these animals, as being used for various personalities, for transitional implications of individual anti-social inadequacies. The Late Doctor Sigmund Freud and cohort, Karl Jung, along with Max Nordav, made lengthy studies of split personalities and their relationships with specific canines. In the last several decades hundreds of dog fighting clubs were abundant i America. Psychiatrist long ago persisted that individual masochism was the actual reason for collective canine fighting. Masochism is discovered throughout humanoids as natural outlet for the release of pent up anti-social repressions. In it self, man instinctually harbored aggression as a survival weapon against weaker individuals, to obtain food and shelter. With contemporary existence, a concealed anti-social predisposition to literally satisfy mental instability, through torturing others, or the self, by civilized means, in a legal manner, masochism, self-hatred and getting artificial sexual highs Considering the love for canines in normal family life is not categorised, as some what mentally suffering from a personality suppression complex syndrome. Self-abasement in being surrounded by one or several barking dogs gradually stamps out any noticeable impediment, distractions that might thwart opposing the subconscious release of hidden sexual intuitions, that are needed for an artificial high. This sudden release of forbidden sexual infatuation qualms a disturbed mind, reversed back into the real world, until masochism is to be relieved again. The dog-loving masochists cleaves to have several dogs and their noise for long periords of time. By indirect satisfaction, to worry neighbors with day or night time barking.
