The vet came to our house and I dug the hole and buried our dog myself. Not that I don't trust our vet, but it was a nice gesture.

Yup, but it is more for the dog than to prevent any shenanigans.

I would kidnap that vet and take at least a year to finish him off. He best go into the witness protection program, or someone else will do that POS.

License gone.

Apparently not an isolated case.

Article says he had one dog in a cage for 3 years.

His own personal pet was in such bad shape it had to be euthanized.

Documents: Unsanitary Conditions, Five Animals Not Euthanized at Fort Worth Vet Accused of Abuse | NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

And still customers defend him.

Wow.

Roast him like a pig

Roast this bastard like a pig.
The horrible pig that he is.

And the article says some of his patients are going to testify for him? WTF!

That is being too kind!...even a pig deserves more compassion than this gentleman!

After reading this story I sat on the couch with my dog very close by my side...I can't imagine what that family went through!

I hope that POS spends the rest of his life in prison getting transfusions.

WTF is with the employees who let this go on for years? Surely they had to know about it. Some of them belong in jail, I bet.

What a story, I think I would have knocked that Vets head off. Only once have I had to put a dog down and it sucked.

Sick part is this might not even be a crime. I'm fairly certain in a lot of states companion animals are still considered merely property.

Laws need to change to reflect how much we value the animal members of our families.

He's already been charged with cruelty to animals. I'm sure they can hang fraud on him as well.

You run down there and sure as ****, there's your dog, alive, not all that well being kept in a cage for 6 months and bled dry, but alive.

****ing POS.
Smells like a big fat lawsuit against the veterinarian. That will teach him and his colleges.

Was just about the second thought that came to my mind is there is no way the employees didn't know what the eff was going on..............

I talked with my mom last night about this, when I was very young she was a vet assistant. She doesn't recall anyone not staying when their dog was put down.

I hope the vet is completely ruined over this. My guess is the laws aren't tough enough though.

There were a lot of real animal lovers with me in vet school, but there were a few that should not have been there.

This guy is toast one way or another.

Is that veterinarian by any chance one that comes from industrial animal operations? He seems to have that kind of mindset.

We have had to put down three of our dogs. All due to cancer of some kind. We were there with them as they crossed onto the other side. They were always there for us. Why shouldn't we be there for them in the end?
This guy should have his testicles beaten flat with a shovel.

I wish people would care about other humans as much as they care about their pets.
