I recently watched a programme about this sort of thing and it upset me.
I own Jack Russell Terriers, i specifically looked for someone who didnt dock tails. I think its cruel. I believe if it had no purpose evolution would have taken it away a long time ago, like our tails. For some instances perhaps i can understand, although not agree with, like working dogs. Its a limb!
Ear cropping. EAR CROPPING, i mean come on. People argue its like having your ear pierced. Which annoys me in 2 ways. 1. lets chop half their ear off and pierce the other ear, then ask them if it felt the same. 2. Ear piercing is for vanity, mutilating an animal for vanity is cruelty in my eyes.
De-clawing. Dont want scratches? Dont get a cat. How can a cat safely climb a tree, or catch a bird if it gets lost and needs to eat? Sod your expensive curtains, get an adult cat that is less likely to try and climb your curtain!
What i want to know is, is it ok to mutilate an animal in this way for human benefit?
