Can I be topical for a second?

I do not approve of any cropping, tattoos or mutilation of animals.


Once I was sitting with a cat who's owner was nearby. I commented on the 'tear' the animal had on it's ear.

I wa informed that the 'tear' was put there to identify a feral cat who was neutered/fixed.

Now, this gal was an idiot to do this to these poor animals, but is it any different than marking ferals?


Not to be a smart arse, just wondering!
