Two arrested for allegedly cutting off dog's leg
Two people have been arrested on felony charges following a horrific case of animal abuse in Kern County.
51-year-old Alberto Castaneda and 59-year-old Maria Banuelos were arrested around 9:00 PM Wednesday night, after animal control officers visited their home on Weedpatch Highway and found a black lab with a bloody leg.
The county animal control veterinarian believes the dog was severely injured in a car crash and that's when the owners tried to amputate part of the dog's leg. The dog's injures are severe. Both sides of his pelvis are fractured and his hip is dislocated.
"No animal, no one and no living creature deserves to be abused the way that this animal has been abused," said Matthew Masse, Acting Division Director, Animal Control Kern County.
The vet Kern County Animal Control believes that the owners tried to treat the dog on their own and cut off part of his left hind leg.
"This person does not have the proper equipment and medications to treat this animal," said Dr. Cynthia Martinez.
The laboratory is now in stable condition at a local veterinary hospital.
"Imagine a dog 70 pounds to be struck with the strength to be able to break both sides of its basin is very painful and not getting the care, just horrible to think about the pain," continued Martinez .
Friends of Kern Animal Shelters Foundation is raising money for the dog. If it gets the green light, the dog will travel to Los Angeles for surgery, which cost at least $ 8,000.
