Vet convicted of animal cruelty
unknown, CA (US)

Incident Date: Friday, Dec 31, 1976

Defendant/Suspect: Daniel Koller, DVM

A California jury in 1977 sentenced Koller to 100 days in jail for brutalizing a dog and letting an unlicensed vet student perform a hysterectomy on a cat. Koller maintains that the dog allegation was made up and that the animal never existed. But California's veterinary board revoked Koller's license, stayed the revocation, and let him practice on probation.
