Pinioning and wing clipping
« on: November 27, 2014, 06:38:33 pm »

Now that we can geld animals we should also be given the option to pinion winged animals.

Also declawing, defanging, tail and ear cropping, and bonsai kittens. :D

why?

Your other suggestions have more obvious applications.

What would the point be of tail clipping and ear clipping? Also the bonsai kitten thing is  supposed to be satire, but sounds incredibly cruel.

The last two or three suggestions were intended as a joke, hence the grinning smiley. In retrospect I supppse that I shouldn't have put them in the same sentence as part of the serious suggestion.

Apropos ear cropping. Cuttings in ears are one way to mark livestock (and probably less brutal than branding), I would be happy with being able to give nicknames to random animals - otherwise some in game way to mark them would be useful.
