This happens too much. This needs to be prosecuted with jail time. No respect for life. It's not the animals fault that you can't afford to get YOUR animal fixed. I understand vets charge way too much for a ten minute procedure. County run shelters in Florida will spay neuter animals for a quarter of the cost of veterinarians.
