What in the hell is “debarking”?! 😱
I’m not going to look it up because I can already imagine and I don’t want actual knowledge of whatever the truth really is
Seen it directly, on a small shih tzu type dog.
They still bark, just no noise, not even like a cough. You can just hear the sound of air forcing out. Kinda like their vocal chords are removed. I don’t know the actual procedure.
Very strange when you hear it. Seems very cruel too.
Hidden out of respect for those that don't want to know
It removes some of the tissue from the vocal cords.
They can still bark, or at least the one dog I’ve met that had it done to it could, it just sounded more like a cough than a bark.
It’s often looked down on as unnecessary surgery, as it does nothing to address why the dog was barking to begin with. There are some groups that support it, as it can be looked at as something that can allow the dog to be out in public without being considered a nuisance or as a procedure that can prevent the dog from being put down.
Probably mutilating the parts that make dogs able to make sounds.
I had declawed rescue kitty and she had difficulty walking because of it. It also didn’t stop her from scratching stuff, so she damaged her paws frequently.
She was also VERY bitey until we had the time to properly train her (which, you know, they could have done instead of declawing, she was a pretty smart cat)
Basic logic animal abuse is bad.
It’s already forbidden to declaw cats in Québec since 2024. Even way before that, many professionals just stopped offering the service.

Vets are like any other doctor. They take an oath that starts, “first, make sure the patient is billed…”
thank fuck
Okay, fucking finally, but this is the same Premiere that opened up licences for penned dog hunting in Ontario. He’s still a fat MAGA fuck.
Could have the unintended consequence of more abandoned, euthanized, or animals put in a shelter.
And while you’re at it, ban everyone who has done any of these things from Ontario (and the planet if possible).
