Fuzzles #14 - Snip Snip
Added 2020-02-29 06:09:41 +0000 UTCLoki has a question for Earl Grey.
Sometimes actions can speak louder than words.
(This may or may not be a controversial opinion, but I'm personally against the practice of cropping and docking for purely aesthetic reasons.)

I get that, I just wasn't sure if you considered the sheep docking to be aesthetic or not. I feel the same way, any alteration of an animal that's unnecessary I'm against. Declawing and debarking is just plain cruel. Not sure how I feel about ear tipping feral cats, but I suppose the purpose of that is to let people know they've been altered and they don't need to be re-captured for that purpose. My home state in New York has banned declawing, I'm hoping Virginia follows suit. I'd never declaw my fur babies.
2020-03-06 15:47:05 +0000 UTCFor sure. I'm against declawing as well. Basically anything that alters an animal's appearance permanently just for "looks" I'm totally against, which is what I specifically said in the description. Docking sheep tails might fall into more of the "for health/medical reasons" category, which is fine. Declawing isn't for looks per say, but it is an unnecessary, permanent, physical alteration that only benefits the human. De-barking is similar this way (though thankfully I don't think it's done anymore).

2020-03-06 00:11:14 +0000 UTCOh no, I agree with you. I feel the exact same way about declawing since it's basically like removing the entire top part of your fingers. However, I will say that in sheep it's different and necessary. Their tails can get awful dirty and infected if they aren't docked. But for dogs and cats, completely unnecessary because it's a "cosmetic" thing.
2020-03-05 15:07:13 +0000 UTCPoor baby. I hate that idea too. No animal deserves to have an extended part of their spine let alone any part of them cropped or docked.
