There’s no good evidence of any other animal aside from us actually crying with tears. Can animals tear up a little during heightened emotions? Sure. And yeah, I understand some animals do have emotions, they’re just not exactly the same as us. Doesn’t mean they’re worthless.
So I’m not saying the cows aren’t distressed, but they aren’t crying tears like sobbing children.
if you are worried about those things to the point where cutting off the toes of pets for convenience is a consideration , you should not get the pet (or re-home it if you already have it).
Incidentally cats can be trained, it’s not the same as dog training but it does exist in some forms.
Debarking dogs? WTF? Is it what I think it is?
Cats can hurt babies or anyone with their claws, destroy furniture, etc. While I’m against it, I can understand the reasoning why people do that.
Why would you take away your dog’s voice? Just fucking train your dog. It’s not a cat, it was bred to be trained and obey.
There’s never a valid reason to declaw a cat. It’s removing the last joint of each toe and is animal cruelty.
The problem is vets don’t explain it to owners, because they just want the $.
You’ve got shit vets then
And we have shit doctors who just want to make cash.

a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Okay PETA
