Those claiming that this punishment is "barbaric" should consider what is being done to the victim. Also consider what the standard surgical treatment is for overly aggressive male domestic animals. The concern here is for the potential victims, not the assailant; when someone becomes an assailant, they lose their rights as a citizen; this idea seems to be overlooked by those concerned with "rights" of criminals.
