14-year-old Lab mix needed second surgery after it acquired an infection
BARRINGTON, R.I. - A Rhode Island man who says he couldn't afford medical care for his dog has been charged with illegally operating on the pet.
Alan MacQuattie recently removed a cyst from the leg of his 14-year-old Labrador mix. The dog was operated on again by professionals to deal with an infection from the first surgery.
E.J. Finocchio, a veterinarian and president of the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, calls the surgery a "heinous crime."

Sounds to me he was trying to save the dog....give him a metal not a fine!
What the heck is wrong with people?
Have they lost their minds?
A heinous crime??!
No, kidnapping and murdering a kid is a heinous crime. Stealing billions from trusting people is a heinous crime. Genocide is a heinous crime.
Taking a cyst out of your old dog because you can't afford the $150 to $400 for a vet to do it isn't a heinous crime, it's a sad comment on how hard life is for some.
