Ok this is sooooo sick! There is this really stupid guy in my town and he had a male cat and there was a female cat running around his neighbourhood that was in heat. So this guy decided to wrap an elastic band around the cat's testicles until they eventually fell off. Lucky for the cat, the humance society found out, the man and his wife were charged with abuse and inadequate care for the animal, and the cat's testicles are still in tact. This is pretty gross for modern day life, I just can't figure out why he didn't just find a better home for the cat if they couldn't care for it properly, or just have it neutered prooperly.
That is horrible and i think very cruel , but he probably thought there was nothing wrong with it. Many farm animals are nuetered with a rubber band around their nuts, a vet doesnt do it the farmer or anyone does ( the rubberband is mass produced for this task, is not an ordinary rubber band). Perhaps those rubberbanded animals are the lucky ones as many other farm animals have them chopped off and are forcable held down so the farmer (not vet) cuts their balls off WITHOUT a painkiller. thats all legal to do to 'food' animals. Maybe the man was an ex factory farm pig worker or sheep farmer and thought what the heck I've done it to these animals, surely it must be ok for pets. Except Pets have laws to protect them, lower class 'food' animals do not. i do agree what he did is sick and I dont beleive he should be allowed to keep a pet. it is very cruel and disgusting. But i think its amazing how what he did is considered terribly cruel, when a lot worse happens/happened to the animals people are eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
is this really the sort of topic that should be posted in a forum frequented by pot smoking women who may have trouble with their boyfriends? my genitalia have retracted indefinitely... dcv-
heh heh. sorry about that dcv. as for the ex-pig farmer possibility, i dont think so only because this town i'm living in has a LOT of sick weirdo's and i think he was just one of them. Honestly the number of dumbasses here is suprising to most. But here's some blurbs from the newspaper article: "Robin Kuchma said Monday she took a complaint a week ago from a member of the public that a male cat was being improperly neutered and in pain at an East Avenue address. " "An SPCA investigator went to the home. He was told the cat's owner had a female cat that was constantly going into heat. To prevent the female from getting pregnant, an elastic band was used to try and neuter the male cat instead of taking him to a veteranarian The investigation determined that the band had been in place for two weeks, since June 14, and the area was severely infected. The cat suffered from excruciating pain." So anyways this guy got a bunch of different charges and so did his wife. And the cat is being taken care of by the SPCA.
