minus-squareseathru@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28·5 days ago ear clipping. Not like marking trap and releases, but “I want my doggo to have pointy ears!”
minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·5 days agoOk, but let’s explicitly allow human ear clipping … so we can have pointy elf ears.
minus-squareT00l_shed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up27·5 days agoSure the difference here is the ability to consent
minus-squarestephen01king@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 days agoThen why is circumcision not allowed? Is it ecause they’re mostly done to kids?
minus-squaredingus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·5 days agoPretty sure most people are only against circumcision for infants who do not consent. I get surgically removed foreskins every day at my work, but they are elective procedures by those who can consent for a condition called phimosis.
minus-squareT00l_shed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 days agoImo circumcision should not be allowed for anything but medical necessity, unless you are age of majority and decide to have the procedure
minus-squareseathru@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 days agoOh, I would never get in the way of that! I think the cutoff should be when the entity getting their ears clipped can/can’t give explicit consent.
