Spell it out for me. Be specific.

It's not violent on any kind of large scale, so that's out. Now, does it qualify as a disfiguring injury? Let's see:
dis·fig·ure
disˈfiɡyər/
verb
past tense: disfigured; past participle: disfigured
spoil the attractiveness of.

So I guess that makes mutilation subjective, since attractiveness is inherently subjective.
