My ex-wife was pretty adamant about having the front claws removed from our girl. Not a day goes by that I feel terrible about it. My cat is now 14 and I see the discomfort in her when she walks.
That and circumcision were my hard lines with my ex wife.
Seriously. If you feel the need to cut chunks off of living things to make them suitable for you, maybe you don't actually want them.
Yeah, docking dogs tails that don't need it, I even heard of people in the 90s having dogs vocal cords cut. Like WTF god complex are they on.
I think these people view them as toys and not actual living animals.
the ways someone treats animals and retail workers are some of the best ways to judge character
Curious how you feel about spaying/neutering
I'm for it. I feel it's justifiable as many cities have a cat overpopulation problem, plus it curtails destructive, difficult to control behaviors like spraying and that horrible yowling they make when they're looking to Catflix and chill. If we didn't have so many unhoused cats and they weren't such raging dicks when they still have their gonads, I'd easily feel differently.
