No, it's not the correct article. 258 is.
Any animal that attacks any human should die.
Indeed, for those who doesn't understand what Preceding paragraph applies to a person who injures another and causes them to be crippled, incurably or hopelessly diseased means. You lose function in the hand, you cannot replace a finger that was lost. That falls under article 258. Article 257 covers things like bruises, cuts that will heal easily with no long-lasting degrading of function, burns that aren't severe, broken bones that will heal, punching someone in the face and causing a nosebleed and such things. Not the loss of digits on extremities, that falls under article 258.
