Blood and gore were commonplace on the hit STARZ show, Spartacus. However, such real life violence would not be tolerated in today's more civilized modern age. Certainly not against humans, and even more so against helpless animals.
Therefore, it came as a sickening shock on Saturday morning to the family of a two-year old Pit Bull mix, named Spartacus, when he was viciously attacked by an angry neighbor with a knife. The as yet unknown attacker, slashed the reportedly docile dog from ear to ear, and bashed his head with a shovel, on a street in Southern L.A.
Spartacus required emergency surgery that took two hours to complete and 1000 stitches to close up his wounds that ran all over his face, head, neck, and torso. Some reports published described the injuries looking as if someone wanted to decapitate and dismember the dog.
