I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but debarking the old way, the cords do grow back. I am not sure if the bark is the same or not, but I have been told the vocal cords do indeed regrow.
Now the new way, burning them, I don't know if they will grow back or not..?
I do agree it seems cruel, but in certain situations if all other methods have been exhausted, it might be the better of two evils.
I agree with Jencar98 and livingdustmops as far as the debarking compared to worse things issue. |
