[FEL-L] altering the big cats

[Brian Werner]

I wouldn't think that this would apply to the little felines. But if you 
have to de-claw a big cat to work with a big cat than you dont need to 
be working with a big cat. If you kill the big cat and have him stuffed 
then you do not ever have to worry about him hurting you nor escaping, 
of course then he's not really a big cat is he? So this can go on and 
on, is a big cat still what he is intended to be if you amputate his 
paws? What about considering a de-fang on him? While you are at it why 
not just cut his legs off at the joint and then he wont jump on you and 
knock you down and that way you'll not fall and bump the precious little 
head that holds the brains behind all of this? You can cut his tail off 
too and then you dont need to worry about slamming it in a kennel or 
cage door! Or you can just leave these big cats in-tact and leave them 
alone???
