Have you deliberately misunderstood me?
There is a vast difference between killing a bird and subjecting it to
abdominal surgery without anaesthetic, or pain relief while it's
recovering.
I've had abdominal surgery twice myself and let me tell you morphine was
involved. When it began to wear off, well, I wouldn't wish such pain on
my
worst enemy.
Caponization by surgical means (or even chemical means) has been outlawed
in
the UK for many years. We don't declaw cats, either to save our
furniture.
That's illegal too.
I get the impression you thought my original post was amusing. Did it
make
you laugh to think that I objected to a bird being operated on without
pain
relief? If so, I don't understand your sense of humour.
