It's good to stop, think and speak out about the ridiculous things that are done to animals. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hi Verna, and welcome.

Puppy mills do this, a procedure that is not even taught in vet schools and I agree it is a disgrace. Thanks for stopping by. Hi Venesa and welcome.

We clip ears. We amputate duclaws. We do these things for cosmetic reasons, an no other. We de-claw cats to protect our furniture. Let's put these mutilations on the list with debarking as being completely unacceptable. We dock tails. We clip ears. We amputate duclaws. We do these things for cosmetic reasons, an no other.
