This 3-Year-Old Barely Survived A Vicious Dog Attack, And KFC Wouldn’t Let Her Eat At Their Restaurant — Read Why

At just three years old Victoria Welcher has a long recovery ahead after being attacked by three pit bulls several months ago. The little girl, who has scars and a bandage over what was once her right eye, was asked to leave a Mississippi Kentucky Fried Chicken recently because her appearance was bothering other customers.

“She was on a feeding tube at the time, but I figured she could just swallow (the potatoes). They just told us, they said, ‘We have to ask you to leave because her face is disrupting our customers,’” Victoria’s grandmother told Sky News.

After taking Victoria’s story to the Internet, the Welcher family has received a huge amount of support, and seen heavy backlash towards the KFC restaurant chain.

The chicken giant reached out to the Welcher’s to make things right by pledging $30,000 to help offset the cost of Victoria’s hospital bills.

People love to be outraged.This little girl would have forgotten all about this incident if she had been allowed to.Because children are younger than the rest of us they are closer to god,and god is all about forgiveness.She isn't angry with anyone.Why should we be?

Geez, had she been black or dressed like a Muslim it would be all over the news as prejudice. Whoever told the employee this little girl's appearance disturbed them should be ashamed of themselves. Too bad the store manager didn't tell them to leave if they didn't like what they were seeing.
