SASKATCHEWAN, Canada - There is a saying that goes "desperate times lead to desperate measures," but this is a little ridiculous. A 28-year-old man from Alberta wanted to have his testicles removed immediately because he felt "the testosterone was poisoning his body." He found a website on the internet about human castration that was hosted by former chef Gary Gillingwater, who claims he learned all about the procedure by practicing on farm animals as a child. The two men met in a hotel room in Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, where Gillingwater carried out the procedure without the use of anesthetics. Gillingwater plead guilty to causing bodily harm before a provincial count and received an 18-month suspended sentence and was ordered to perform community service.
