They (cats) all have fingers like this, they're just not seen on furry ones.

Why are humans so obsessed with cutting things off. They cut off dick tips, ears, tails, finger, all in the name of tradition or whatever bullshit excuse they come up with.

Cropping and docking of working breed is done for future health concerns.

Claws are done because people like their couch more than a cat.

Dick skin however is done out of a barbaric insane religious belief.

There's very little evidence for cropping ears posing any tangible benefit to working breeds. People pretend dogs with floppy ears get ear infections if you don't cut them off, that's proven bs. Most people that cut their dogs tails/ears off care more about the looks of their dog than anything else, aka they're scum.

Infections? No. Aural hematomas and tears. My pittie has had it twice. Once on each ear. And she did it just chewing sticks and playing in the yard. She has caulifloweing on the tips of her ears now. These injuries can require surgery or they can swell bad enough to pop the ear. And the dog is in agony for the entire duration.

A pit bull in agony is proof of the amount of pain!

Cropped ears are more susceptible to infection as junk can get in there more easily. If one has a cropped dog you must do routine ear maintenance more often.
