      plus ear clipping. Not like marking trap and releases, but “I want my doggo to have pointy ears!”

        Ok, but let’s explicitly allow human ear clipping … so we can have pointy elf ears.

            Then why is circumcision not allowed? Is it ecause they’re mostly done to kids?

              Pretty sure most people are only against circumcision for infants who do not consent. No one is talking about those with a medical need.

              I get surgically removed foreskins every day at my work, but they are elective procedures by those who can consent for a relatively “common” condition called phimosis.

              Imo circumcision should not be allowed for anything but medical necessity, unless you are age of majority and decide to have the procedure

          Oh, I would never get in the way of that! I think the cutoff should be when the entity getting their ears clipped can/can’t give explicit consent.
