Are there countries that ban baby boy circumcisions because it is cruel, barbaric, or mutilation? To me, this debate is so much the same in comparison. I totally get the tail docking argument and realize this is not a human vs animal debate, but yet to me, it is because we put human value on our pets/animals, human emotion etc. There is plenty of research that shows foreskin adds a great deal of sensation. If circumcision is justified for sanitary reasons, that is the same debate some make on tail docking. How many men grow up to be angry with their parents for having the procedure if they're missing out on all that great pleasure? Could it not be interpreted to the same as the wag of a happy tail? Both procedures are done to subjects too young to have their own voice, and from what I understand, similar in procedure. I just want someone to tell me how this is ok for one species and not another. It might help me form another opinion on the debate. A human is ok having a body part cut off their infant, newborn child, but not a puppy. To say it sounds awful.
