Upon reflection, what this thread needs is The Scrotum Song.

Neuticles

"Neuticles allow your pet to retain his natural look [and] self esteem."

That's some phallocentric anthropomorphizing, right there.

I know someone who seriously considered these for his bull mastiff.

My cat has neuticles and it's done wonders for her self esteem.

i don't think that's her self esteem

WAITAMINNIT--you mean there's already an existing section of the law for castration without malice and conspiracy to commit castration without malice..!?

Like, people are walking around doing this all the time and we have laws against it..?

Like, "Doo de dum dum... gee! I have an idea! I have no malice against this person, but I think I'll remove his testicles!"

I started lol'ing when I recalled the episode of Greg the Bunny wherein, they replaced the dog's testicles with Chinese massage balls.

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times - never let your safe-word be "castration"!

Shane, from the North Carolina general statutes:

§ 14‑29. Castration or other maiming without malice aforethought.

If any person shall, on purpose and unlawfully, but without malice aforethought, cut, or slit the nose, bite or cut off the nose, or a lip or an ear, or disable any limb or member of any other person, or castrate any other person, or cut off, maim or disfigure any of the privy members of any other person, with intent to kill, maim, disfigure, disable or render impotent such person, the person so offending shall be punished as a Class E felon.

Performing said act with malice rates a Class C felony.

Class C felonies can be punished by 3 to 20 years. Class E felonies are punishable by 15 months to 8 years.

**This information has been brought to you by a former employe of the Texas Legislature.

would all privy members of metachat please stand up now?

posted by taz 04 April | 15:44

We can't stand up now. Our legs are crossed in a defensive posture.

shane makes me laugh.

Though my cat has hiccups, which was also making me laugh, so perhaps shane does not deserve all the credit.

These men, allegedly, asked to be castrated. How can that be a crime? Practicing medicine without a license? Uh, no, it was a sexual act that happened to use scalpels and sutures.

Gah, I hate stupid laws.
