BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut veterinarian authorities say killed or harmed animals he was supposed to be caring for is facing animal cruelty and larceny charges.
The Connecticut Post reports that 74-year-old Amr Wasfi, a veterinarian at Black Rock Animal Hospital in Bridgeport, was arraigned Wednesday. He did not enter a plea.
The case was continued until next month at the request of Wasfi’s lawyer, John Gulash, who said he needed more time to examine the evidence.

Gulash and Wasfi declined comment as they left the courthouse.
Authorities say Wasfi, of Derby, squeezed a 4-month-old kitten to death that was supposed to be spayed, and performed unnecessary surgery on a dog that had been diagnosed with a sprain.
