Animals have varied defensive and offensive weapons or strategies which they are born with. It may include fangs in the case of snakes, sabre toothed, powerful limbs in case of ostrichfs as well as powerful foreheads and horns in the case of cattle. When such pets are at home, they pose a threat to family members especially those that turn into Frankestein monsters and turn against their owners. A good number of people resort to onechectomy or removal of claws. In other cases, birds are debeaked and even having their wings removed to prevent them from flying away. Its quite understandable why snakes should have their fangs removed but most of these practices border on torture. The jury is out there with regard to the ethical implications of these activities. At the end of the day, it should be a win-win not win-lose situation. What are your thoughts?
