Honestly, I really don't get it, I do not understand how they can use the word "cruel" in this situation. I think it's a lot of propaganda being passed by people who want to control others. All you have to do is use a few buzzwords and people will jump on the bandwagon. These people who are so against it, have they really studied it? Have they talked to breeders or vets who know how to do it correctly? Or have they talked to only those who are against it? The OP didn't even know about it until last night, yet she's vehemently opposed, how can she even decide on an issue in such a short time unless she's thinking with her emotions in a knee-jerk response? Like I said earlier I wish that there were restrictions, on who could do it, and what age, but no one's trying to pass those laws, they just want to outlaw it. I guess I'm choosing to believe the word of those people who have studied it as well as those who have experience doing it.
