Re: Clipping wings
Posted by Patsy on 4/03/06

My pets are not just "pets," they are a part of my family and are
treated with the same kindness and respect for their well-being. I
wouldn't cut of my children's legs to "keep them safe," so why is it
ok to mutilate birds to "keep them safe"? If the only way to keep
your bird safe is clip its wings you shouldn't own a bird.

But put the safety argument aside. What about the mental and
physical consequences of clipping wings. How does one justify that
cruelty?
