It's not just the matter of anaesthesia, its cleanliness and the fact that infection could well be overlooked and a poor animal will die in agony.  AND also the fact that some animals will be done wrongly and be disfigured and possibly in pain for their whole life, which may not be very long if its been done THAT badly.
