Описание: In this video, I discuss animal mutilation procedures: procedures done not for the best interest of the animal, but for identification, husbandry, convenience, or even cosmetic reasons. This topic may be a bit more disturbing for sensitive viewers, so check out one of my other videos if this one is too much.
