I guess Im one of the those people that are cruel to thier kids and animals then, because, I had ALL 3 of my baby girls ears done when they were 3 months old and my son was circumsized as a infant, I have 3 cats, 2 of which are front only declawed (my vet only does the fronts) and I also have a a toy poodle and yorkie mix that both have their tails docked and dew claws removed. I choose to have Tuckers done as I had full control over what happened to him as I picked him out at 1 day old. I personally feel that dogs that are suppose to have docked tails, should have docked tails.
My girls have had no long lasting effects of thier ears being peicerd not even so much an infection and they still wear earings on a regular basis. My 2 cats had no trouble what so ever with thier declawing as I had it done when they were kittens, they came home the next day, they healed great and have had no long lasting effects. They are indoor cats only. I dont regret having done one bit. The cat that isnt declawed has torn up couches, walls, wooden bed furniture etc, despite all the "training", nail clipping and scratching devices I have tried. Ive had her for 5 years, she is part of the family and I have no intentions of getting rid of her, I just deal with tore up stuff..:/ and replace it often. I wont have her declawed now because of her older age, I have heard that the healing time is much harder on them. SO I guess Im not that cruel after all.
I wouldnt have any of my dogs declawed,just done see the purpose in it. Im very thankful that my dogs let me, my vet and groomer clip thier nails without any trouble. Sorry if I seem a little off in this post but I love my children and animals very much, my life revolves my whole family and I dont think that the things that I have choosen to do to my kids or animals has cruel.
