Batman, the black cat that you see in the photograph, was ear tipped under a discount veterinary service at a animal shelter in Cabot, USA.
The vet tech who perform the surgery was negligent. The veterinarian Doctor Mike Pallone apologised.
The owner of the cat and her four boys are horrified.
The veterinarian has apologised. The mayor of the town is also apologetic. It won’t happen again the veterinarian said.
He excused himself by saying that he thought the cat was feral! That is a poor excuse. There is no need to ear tip a cat like this no matter whether they are feral or domestic.
Indeed, there was no need to ear tip a domestic cat in the first place.
