I knew it was PA before I even read the story.

so ... lemme get this straight... it is “cruel” to pierce the ears or tail of a kitten... but it is just fine to pierce a baby’s ears?

[NordP]

Ping - looks like here’s something we both can agree on...this is pathetic and horrifically wrong!

[Dead Corpse]

How is this different from branding cattle, clipping a dogs ears/tail, de-clawing cats, testicle removal on bulls, etc...

I guess I don't get it.

[Fawn]

DITTO’S!

Kinda like putting that stuff on a baby. It could hurt itself if those things get stuck on something.

[Slings and Arrows]

What is WRONG with some people?!

[the_devils_advocate_666]

Oh the humanity!

[eastforker]

I see no diference to this than clipping a dogs tail or cropping their ears, notching a calfs ear, nose ringing a hog or tattooing an animal for identification.

‘I punch holes in my face, I punch holes in my animals faces’. I would like to see (briefly) a picture of the perp, yes perp this is sick and sadistic.

[allmost]

You see no difference. Let’s start with size.

[Michael.SF.]

PA? I wonder if they are friends of these people.

I agree with you,
but at the same time I know
some beautiful girls

who for some reason
enjoy the whole piercing craze.
I mean, they're gorgeous

except for the fact
that their ears/cheeks/lips/belly
(and in one case, neck)

have jewelry in them.
But these days you can't assume
piercers are ugly.

How many folks have their dog’s ears ‘snipped’ or tails shortened (especially bulls and dobermans)?

[eastforker]

Most dogs are small pups when the tails and ears are cut. You sound like the guy that says it is OK to shoot a bank robber but not OK to shoot a guy stealing your stereo! When is this PC BS gonna stop. Piercing a cats ear would not be any different thanclipping a small puppies ears , but, that is OK with most people. I would like to see your reaction when it came time to castrate all the little pigs in the pen.

They took out the peircings and look what happened!

[allmost]

I can’t judge someone who wants to do that to themselves. It’s a bit disconcerting when the act becomes an obsession and is taken out on kittens. The perp has issues imo.
