The message was intended for the veterinary student's girlfriend, most likely didn't have the desired effect

Not too long ago, a veterinary student that many people agree can only be described as a complete nutcase stitched the words “I love you” into the skin of a live dog that he had just operated on.

As if this weren't enough, the student even snapped a few photos on his work and posted them online for the entire world to see. Needless to say, the photos failed to secure him a wide fanbase.

On the contrary, pretty much everybody who has until now had the chance to have a look at this student's needlework agrees that what he did can only be called animal cruelty.

Not your usual romantic gesture

According to media reports, this incident occurred in Poland. Thus, the young man who abused the defenseless pooch in this horrific manner is understood to be a fourth-year student at the University of Warmia and Mazury in the city of Olsztyn.

For the time being, his identity has not been shared with the general public. In fact, it appears that staff at the University are yet to figure out who this man is themselves, New York Daily News informs.

However, word has it that the veterinary student stitched the word's “I love you” into the dog's skin because he was looking to impress his girlfriend. Otherwise put, the message was not even intended for the dog, but for this guy's better half.

It's unclear how the girlfriend reacted to this supposedly romantic gesture. One can only hope she did not take lightly to it, and gave the student some grief about it. Unless she too happens to be a fan of abusing animals.

What will happen to the student?

It appears that, as soon as staff at the University of Warmia and Mazury figure out who he is, the student will be made to answer for this actions. There is even talk that he will be kicked out of his college on the grounds of unethical behavior.

“Saying you love someone is not a bad thing. But the fact this was stitched into the stomach of an animal does seem immoral and unethical behavior from a student of veterinary science,” Andrzej Koncicki with the University said in a statement.

“One of the first points of the Vets' Code of Ethics is a vet practicing his profession of public trust needs professional conduct and good morals. We need to find out more about what happened here,” he went on to explain.
