As obvious as something like this might seem, the local Humane Society in the San Antonio, Texas area is having to warn people to not try to neuter their pets with a rubber band.
Riley (pictured) was sent to the emergency room at the Humane Society. It's believed his owner tried to neuter him with a rubber band. Be glad I didn't post a photo with the painful part of Riley's body pictured.
Unfortunately, Riley's owner isn't the only one who thinks you can neuter pets this way, as there was a
Yahoo! Answers question about the subject, with the questioner basically being called a moron by the respondents, much as Riley's owner most likely is.
