I just sent the Sheriff of our parish the following e-mail;
Hello Sheriff Graves,
I am contacting you on a matter that occured on July 17, 2010. We live in Springfield Mobile Home Park, and some kids lured a dog off the neighbors porch and attacked him with baseball bat. The dog recieved serious injuries to his mouth and nose. His jaw bone was fractured in 2 places. We were also instructed by the Officer to bring him to the Vet. So we transported him to La Veterinary Referral Center in Mandeville, La. They stated they would supply you with a detailed list of all injuries.
The Officer the was here stated we could pick up a copy of the Police Report in 3 to 5 days. However we did not recieve a Report number. The portion of this that bothers me the most is when the Officer brought the boy to see what he had done this child showed no remorse for what he had done. He walked up to the dog with a smile on his face and left with that same smile on his face. I was the eyewitness that seen the whole incident occur. These kids had chased another dog with bats just before the brutal attack on the other dog. Granted I understand the dog should have been on a leash and the kids wouldn't have been able to intice him to come to them for this beating, but I think God he wasn't on a leash because he wouldn't have been able to get away. This dog is going to have to have Surgery in the morning that is going to cost $2500.00+.
I understand that there are other important issues the Sheriff's Office has but Studies show most kids that do this with animals later turns into children and adults. I greatly appreicate your time in this matter and hope you can give our community any update in this matter.

I will post his response when he replies.
