“Save Mickey.” So pleads the Facebook page lamenting that the pit bull faces “the death penalty” just because he mauled four-year-old Kevin Vicente.
The Phoenix, Arizona boy was hospitalized with a broken eye socket, check bone and lower jaw bone. “He still can’t open his eye,” said Dr. Salvatore Lettieri, chief of cosmetic surgery at Maricopa Medical Center.
“Well need to fix the tear duct drainage system,” said the surgeon. “That is, if he makes tears.”
Meanwhile, there are no tears shed for poor young Kevin on Mickey’s Facebook page, which announces that 50,000 people have signed a petition (on Change.org) imploring Maricopa County Animal Control to stay the canine martyr’s scheduled execution this upcoming Tuesday.
“Thank God,” read one of the comments on Mickey’s Facebook page, that so many people have registered their objection to what the online petition terms nothing less than a “travesty of justice.”
But the real travesty is the cult that has developed around Mickey, who brutalized a four-year old child. That the dog’s supporters dare to invoke the name of God in their campaign to absolve the animal of its horrific attack upon a defenseless child is a sacrilege.
Indeed, the Mickey cult actually created another Facebook page promoting the “Save Mickey Candlelight Vigil.” Cult members were invited to gather in a plaza “to show our love and support for Mickey.”
Those who couldn’t attend were encouraged to “light a candle,” wherever they happened to be, and “post the picture.” And many did so.
“Mickey, we’re praying for you sweetheart!” proclaimed one of the pit bull’s supporters. “We love you and are thinking of you Mickey,” commented another. “You are in our thoughts and prayers sweet Mickey,” posted still another.
Well, there’s nothing unGodly about having an affinity for animals. That is, unless that affinity is taken to the extreme, as is the case with the Mickey cult, which has elevated the dog to deity status.
Like the Hindus, who worship dogs as part of Kukur tithar, an annual religious festival during which a big red tika is put on a dog’s forehead and a garland around its neck as the faithful pray to dogs to protect their houses.
Like the ancient Mesopotamians, who created a dog cult around Gula, a supposed healing goddess. The dog was considered Gula’s earthly mediums, possessing protective magic and supposedly guarding cult members against certain sicknesses.
The thousands of Mickey supporters, who liked his Facebook pages, who signed his online petition, who attended his candlelight vigil, who are praying on his behalf for divine intervention, are a modern day dog cult.
They care more about the pit bull than they do about the helpless four-year-old boy he would have killed but by the grace of God.
“Having Mickey killed is not going to take away Kevin’s pain or injuries,” said John Schill, the dog’s attorney (that’s right). “The only thing this is going to do is kill a poor, innocent dog.”
Such is the callousness of Mickey’s supporters, who declare the dog “innocent” of his vicious attack on young Kevin. Their cultish adoration of the animal smells to heaven.

I am starting to see why this country is absent from Ezekiel and the Revelation.
Part of the problem is people have replaced children with animals, and personified their pets as people to fill the void of parenthood.
Note to libs: God demanded sacrifices of animals by men for thousands of years and I’m pretty sure they never mauled or tried to kill a child. If they had, they would be put to death. Just sayin’
Libs only invoke the name of God when they want people’s attention yet they curse Him, don’t worship Him (they’re usually athiests), don’t read the Bible or know anything of it’s contents plus they violated the 3rd commandment by taking His name in vain in this instance.
yes, and some put pets before their children.
Either way the animal worshippers are disturbing.
**They care more about the pit bull than they do about the helpless four-year-old boy he would have killed but by the grace of God. **
Dogs don’t have souls, children do.
I’d bet a lot of them are abortion supporters too.
Good point.
Based on the info I read about this I’m with the dog. The dog was chained up and in its backyard. Kid goes in backyard and tries to take dogs food. Whatcha expect?
If I’m missing something, by all means share. Otherwise, the babysitter and mom are responsible for this tragedy.
What I read, I agree.
Here are some wise words from the prophet Hosea.
Chapter 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, according to their own understanding, even idols, all of them the work of the craftsmen; of them they say: ‘They that sacrifice men, kiss calves.’

What happened back in the old days in Israel is what we see happening today. Jews stepped away from the Torah in greater numbers and chose to follow pagan ways. We see people abortion, euthanasia, and other forms of modern, human sacrifice while animals have been placed increasingly on a pedestal.
Some people shouldn’t have kids or dogs.

Demographic Doom: Replacing Kids with Pampered Pets

Sorry I couldn’t care less if someone would rather have a dog. From my experience, people who don’t want kids should never be parents anyway.
Even with our shrinking population?
Our national fertility rate has been below 2.1 (minimum replacement level) since 2007.
I’ve got a niece with 3 kids she doesn’t bother to care for.
Are you aware that, right now, on another thread, someone has actually typed the words
“Very small numbers of children die in fatal gun accidents. Most of those result from irresponisble adults actions or a lack of training received by the children.”
And the FReepers say “Amen”.
30-average dead kids a year to guns is okay because “the gun cult” loves ~them~.
See the hypocrisy, there?
Irresponsible adults are rightly blamed for the “killers” we “love” but not the ones we “hate”.
That is a massive amount of cognitive dissonance.
Maybe I’m strange in that I have a problem with *any* amount of dead kids, regardless of what killed them.
The irresponsible adults who had the ‘killer’ guns should be jailed hard, just as the irresponsible adults who owned ‘killer’ dogs, but they rarely are.
Until that happens, nothing will change.
Banning certain guns or certain dogs will make no difference so long as the common denominator, -stupid- adults, are allowed to escape responsibility.
