It's not like it's painful for them for long after.

We do a lot of horrible shit in the name of appearance.

I can't help it your parents didnt give ya'll the choice.

Isn't the main reason boys are cut is hygiene reasons? Thats what I've always been told, unless its religion.

I am sure when I have a son I will become that parent, as we will have him cut, but if I have a girl, she'll get her ears pierced when she's ready to tell me she wants it.

Just like you can't help it if we want to cut our pet's ears/tails.

I agree with my parents choice and would do the same.

Main reason is religion for circumcision or appearance. Hygene isn't that much of an issue with all our fancy soaps and showers.

Hygiene reason is not valid... It's comparable to cutting off your arms because your armpits get dirty.

It's almost 100% aesthetic these days...

That, and the ridiculous fear of the "why doesn't mine look like yours, daddy?" question. (I've heard it as a reason, for real.)

No, but I can still share my thoughts and opinions just like you can.

I know, but it's no different than that stuff and you really don't seem to have much issue with the rest of it.

He already has had his tail docked, and she is getting his ears clipped when he is old enough. She got him to be a guard dog, I personally don't think she needs a 110# doberman, hell if anyone saw Brock they would think twice about coming in but its her pup/ problem
