 Frankie is charged with animal cruelty and practicing without a license and Lila's owner is charged with animal cruelty. This is a sickening act of cruelty which cannot go unpunished. Please sign today to let court officials know that Lila deserves justice. Larry chose to have Frankie cut Lila open to deliver her puppies because he wanted to save money. Lila was put onto a table, held down, and cut open without proper sedation, without proper sterilization, and without a real veterinarian to do the surgery.
