You'd Be Prettier Without Earlobes, You Know
Cat Fancier's on Declaw Legislation CA
Doggie's Paradise on Dog Ear Cropping
San Francisco is considering making it illegal to declaw cats. These are the same folks who, in May 2000, were banning ear cropping and tail "docking" for dogs.
People think ear cropping makes their dogs more attractive. Now... it's perfectly okay to get your OWN nose done, or ears "fixed," or whatever procedure you think you need, and are willing to pay for. (My own surgery, to get antennas, is coming up. I'm having attenas affixed to my forehead so I look like an alien. Also for better radio reception.)
But dogs, though they are willing to put up with a lot for love of us, don't have any understanding about the need for this. They just don't understand how ugly they are, with those natural, uncropped ears! How can they win at the show? Who will love them?
From Doggie's Paradise, I find this quote:
"Many dogs have gone absolutely head crazy and developed lifelong seizures... After ear cropping, dogs suffer from a phantom pain around the scars until the end of their life (!), what may cause serious behavioral problems."
Doggie's Paradise is an online dog information site, located in Bali. Don't ask how Doggie's Paradise came to be my source for information on dog ear cropping; my "research" for this "article" went horribly awry. That might have something to do with the fact that I was watching Donald Trump's current crop of aspiring corporate weasels, as they stumble towards unemployment. (Watch them! Mock them! They're very stupid, and they fight!)
There seems to be a lot more antipathy towards declawing and ear cropping in other countries. In Europe, declawing has been outlawed widely. It seems to be something that mostly is done in America. Except San Francisco. Don't try that stuff there. They like their pets un-messed-around with.
I'm sorry - this has been a very poorly written post. I keep getting wrapped up in how we do things to our pets that is inhumane, and we treat each other inhumanely as well. In San Francisco, they have the least tolerance for animal cruelty in the name of beauty, or for the sake of our furniture, and yet some people think that city is depraved. Yeah, it's such a pit of wickedness... People go around accepting each other for who they are, and all that, and refuse to let their pet's natural beauty shine through by chopping off bits of them.
Well, I do have one idea for how to prevent some cruelty to animals. Replace it with cruelty to the Trump wannabes! Yes, seriously. We can put little beaks on the Apprentices, and make them peck each other to death in a new kind of cockfight. It'll be the same as the show currently is, just they'll have to attack each other less with the mouth and the backstabbing, and more with the beaks and the, uh, frontstabbing.
