CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Three men have been arrested on charges of performing castrations on apparently willing participants in a sadomasochistic "dungeon" in a rural house, authorities said Friday.

"It's extremely bizarre," District Attorney Michael Bonfoey said in a telephone interview. "It's incredible the amount of ways that people can find to run afoul of the law."

Sheriff's investigators said Richard Sciara, 61, Danny Reeves, 49, and Michael Mendez, 60, admitted performing at least eight surgeries, including castrations and testicle replacements, on six consenting clients over the past year. None of the three is licensed to practice medicine, officials said.

The suspects, all residents of the house in Haywood County, in western North Carolina, where the surgeries were allegedly performed, were arrested Thursday. They were being held on $150,000 bond each and could make their first court appearances Monday, Bonfoey said.

3. Were they using Neuticles?

They are probably doing what that one guy did to his poor beagle. He used great dane neuticles so his beagle would feel manly.

People are just plain odd aren't they?

11. Hey there Proud!

:hi: I just stopped in before my concert to see what was going on and your thread just made me chuckle. Seriously, my neighbor at the farm used to castrate every living thing on his land when he finished with the cattle he would start on the dogs. It creeped me out. Oh yes, I forgot, they never fixed a cat. They were everywhere for a while.

My youngest has a Neuticles tee shirt because he thought it was so funny. I really think I would like the earrings, don't you think they would look nice? Definitely a conversation piece.

PITTSBURGH -- Home castrations may sound bizarre enough, but the Pittsburgh area has had two such cases recently. Both times, those who performed the procedure ended up in jail.

First, Tammy Feldbaum -- she is the transsexual who was convicted of killing her husband during a botched castration. And more recently, Doug Lenhart, who is accused of pretending to be a doctor and castrating a transgender who nearly bled to death.

Target 11's Karen Welles investigated and found home castrations are an underground cottage industry.

Catherine Watson told Target 11 she wanted to be castrated, so she went on the Internet looking for someone to do the procedure. Target 11 went looking, too, and the investigators were amazed at what was found.<snip>

But I've got to say, that's some fucked up shit.
