Two Pit Bulls Attack Janelle Scott in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, Forcing Amputation of All Four Limbs

On September 9 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, Janelle Scott was riding her bike with her fiancé when two pit bulls attacked her suddenly, and the severity of her injuries made the amputation of all four limbs necessary.

The Il Mattino account says police told News 9 that "There is a trailer, similar to a camper, in this area. It seems the dogs were confined inside it," and it adds that the trailer was forced open.

Il Mattino reports that one of the dogs died during the struggle with Scott’s fiancé, who intervened promptly to save her, in vain.

The GoFundMe campaign cited in Il Mattino says Scott's right arm and left leg were initially amputated, and it describes the attack as a brutal assault that upended her life.

In 42 months of conflict, the Corriere della Sera article says tens of thousands of people in Ukraine have been mutilated, and it frames the country as "the world’s largest prosthetics market" as hospitals in Zaporizhzhia receive between 40 and 80 wounded every day.

The piece cites the Ukrainian NGO ProtezHub, saying that at the beginning of 2023 estimates ranged between 20,000 and 50,000 amputees, and it also quotes military doctor Denys Surkov speaking of 50,000.

Corriere della Sera adds that Dr. Kostyantyn Mylytsya said every day the hospitals in Zaporizhzhia receive between 40 and 80 wounded, many of whom are amputees, and it describes a shortage of components, qualified prosthetists, and rehabilitation centers.

It also describes a demand gap, saying the Superhumans Center run by Andriy Stavnitser estimates 300 prostheses implanted per month against a demand of over 1,000.

In Italy, the Comitato Paralimpico report says Sporting Amp Football, a Marche-based squad, clinched the 2025 Italian Amputee Football Championship for the second consecutive year at the fourth and final leg of the championship in Correggio.

The event, organized by FISPES, concluded this weekend in Correggio after two intense days in which the three teams faced off, and the closing ceremony included addresses by FISPES President Mariano Salvatore and Federica Salsi, the City of Correggio's Sports Councillor.

Salsi told the athletes, "I would like to congratulate you for playing with commitment and seriousness despite the decidedly demanding temperatures," and she said, "On behalf of the Administration, we are truly honored to have hosted you."

The report also records the final-day matchups and awards, including that the top scorer of the 2025 Championship was Kaplon Krystian (Sporting Amp Football) and that the Golden Ball for Best Player of the Championship went to Francesco Messori (Vicenza Amputee Football), who said, "This amputee football family makes me feel loved every day."
