Neutering a dog at home is illegal, irresponsible and flat-out cruel. But that didn’t stop 19-year-old Michael Williams of Wayne County, NY for allegedly attempting to neuter the family dog, Toby. As you can imagine, the “procedure” ended up a bloody mess.
Williams brought Toby to the Macedon Veterinary Care hospital Friday claiming he had tried to castrate the dog himself and things had gone wrong. But when the vet told Williams that Toby would need surgery, Williams refused the treatment. He instead opted to take the gravely wounded animal and drive off in his truck.
Thankfully, the animal hospital notified the authorities, and District Attorney Rick Healy had the good sense to order police to pull Williams over, seize the dog and rush him to an emergency clinic.
Williams wasn’t immediately arrested, but a warrant was served and he was arrested that night on animal abuse charges.
Courtney Klein, Marketing and Communications Manager for Monroe Veterinary Associates released the following statement:
Right now our only focus is on providing the best medical care for Toby. We are a well-trained emergency service with the added benefit of various specialty services on which to call depending on the severity of the situation. Our team will rally around this type of case using all of our resources to provide the best possible medical care to patients coming to our facility. Animal cruelty is a very serious situation and we encourage all of our staff, as well as any involved parties, to report all incidents of suspected animal cruelty to the proper authorities. In Toby’s particular case, this was a very inappropriate procedure and one that easily could result in death if left untreated.
Thoughts are with Toby on a healthy recovery.
What’s New…
Someone should neuter him with a dull rusty knife…..he is definitely too nasty and stupid to ever reproduce.
I would neuter him at home with a full knife and rubbing alcohol. He shouldn’t be allowed to procreate. There are enough brainless POS in wthe world already
atleast he took it to vet..he was stupid but rather then training him to be more compassionate and careful..our abuses might drive him to hate animals.. i think.. theres a very fine line between care and carelessness.. he is 19 and sure might not have money to do the surgery..he attempting it at home shows he couldn’t effoord the doc.. but then he must be taken into custody and interrogated completely as to what make him do this act..an NGO must take the case of correcting this youth before he further get misguided and more careless… his act is horrible.. but he took it to vet..what if he had tried to hide it at his home? grab the boy non and get him to understand life and pain hoe its not possible to such medical stuff to humans at home same goes for animal..he must be taught animals are same as humans..living ,feeling and affectionate being.. hope he is corrected ans watched over to not let such incidents happen in future..its so sad the dog suffered.. no other being should suffer again by such kinda stupid behaviours of us.. thanks to the vet for atleast informing the authorities.
Your next serial killer,that’s how it begins.
JUST LOOK AT HIS STUPID FACE AND YOU KNOW HE’S JUST WHTIE TRASH WHO HAS NO FEELINGS FOR ANOTHER LIVING CREATURE.. THEY SHOULD CUT HIS NUTS OFF AND FEED THEM TO THE DOG..
Hope the judge orders Castration of Michael Williams immediately. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.00, go to jail and the key must be thrown away, right away.
“..wasn’t immediately arrested”. The cops likely didn’t think it was important enough…
MAXIMUM PENALTY SHOULD BE APPLIED PLUS LOSS OF PRIVILEGE OF EVER HAVING A PET OR WORKING WITH ANIMALS OF ANY KIND.
i have no experience neutering but I’d luv to practice on this bastard. fine him heavily and throw him in jail.
