No. Obviously not. That is how you kill a chicken.
Animals may not share in ALL human rights but that does not make it okay to torture them.
What makes it wrong to torture animals isn't that they possess rights, it is our understanding of humanity. We grants right to animals in so far as it is possible or practical, but animals do not have rights in themselves. That is why it is OK to give a capuchin monkey AIDS in order to study new drugs but not OK to give a baby AIDS.
The removal of nerves is pretty significant dontcha think?
Who can say with certainty? How do we know that the removal of that skin doesn't enhance the stimulus of the corona? Men who have been circumcised don't seem to have significant complaints.
