I know declawing is brutally mutilating cats' toes in order to cause them chronic pain and mobility issues for the cruel enjoyment of the sadistic bastards who do it, but can someone please explain to me what in the name of fuck is “debarking”..‽
Mutilating dog throats so they can't make barking noises.
I want to downvote you, just because that is so effing nasty that i cant imagine upvoting it...
Can they even eat and drink properly after that?
Yes, but they have a very sad, raspy sound for a bark. I've read that it can cause anxiety in the dog (you don't say, right?).
No idea, I am only aware of what it is and how it is done. Haven't met a dog who had their bark removed.
