Document Summary
Protect furniture, primarily done on indoor cats. Loss of defense, causes medical issues(infection, arthritis) If banned could result in more homeless cats, though there is room for refinement (many alternatives) Medical can be referred to as amputation instead. Breed for wanted traits (short nose, rolled skin, behaviour) Improved, some good reasons(police/guide dogs), but lots of bad such as health issues, behaviour. Housing conditions are poor, early breeding and weaning. Banned, educate clients, pet store bans, adopt don"t shop. They must endure a shock to lose consciousness. Mainly process before is where welfare is questioned : fasting, transportation, stress, overcrowding, weather conditions. Improved, reducing stress = better meat quality and qol. Flavour of male meat, removes smell from fat. No analgesic, done with a knife, painful, can be done by anyone (no training) Can also administer a vaccine to prevent testosterone secretion (immunology). Solution = genetic selection of pigs that produce less hormones.
