    There’s never a valid reason to declaw a cat. It’s removing the last joint of each toe and is animal cruelty.

        cries actual tears

        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.

        All the animals we create are entitled to the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children.

        a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
