Your all mostly a bunch of retards. It's not vile, or cruel just because you don't happen to approve. A tattoo is minor compared to other COMMON practices ie docking dogs tails, cropping ears, declawing cats or your most common spaying or neutering. Who gives any of you the right to do the above? But because you happen to approve of it it's all good. Please get over yourselves or please remove your poor bleeding hearts from the gene pool.
