A 79 year old woman from New South Wales, Australia has been convicted of animal cruelty after she disciplined her Maltese terrier, Charlie, by cutting out one of his testicles with a rusty razor blade.
Amalia Nabor was cross with Charlie for running into the yard when he shouldn’t have, neighbours heard the dog screaming and yelping in pain and called police.
When officers arrived at the house they found Charlie locked in the shed covered in blood and missing a testicle. Charlie ran towards the police officers and then collapsed from blood loss. He was rushed to a nearby veterinary surgery and operated on, Charlie’s heart stopped at one point but vets managed to resuscitate him.
Nabor admitted cutting the dog’s testicle off with a rusty razor blade because she was annoyed with him.
Charlie has been taken into care by the RSPCA and is looking for a new home. Amalia Nabor was given a one year bond and ordered to pay $(AUS)1070 in fines for RSPCA costs.
