You guys are both the victims of misinterpretation. I'm sorry for my part of it. I (albeit like others) react harshly to statements as originally made because of how easily their misinterpretation can impress newbies to the hobby. I'm no animal rights activist, but I feel I gain a greater respect for the hobby when I try to put myself into the shoes of the animal...
I look at it and say if you yank me out of the ocean and throw me into a box, then clip my claws off when I behave naturally, or kill me for doing something that's only natural, I wouldn't like it...
That said, one of you says that he meant he wouldn't kill it and took it to the LFS, another says it's something he did a long time ago. Those are both perfectly rational clarifications to what you originally said, so I'd say that everybody here is cool with all this at this point...
Sorry to both you guys that I misinterpreted it, but the real risk is if someone else misinterpreted it and "learned" what to do based on it.... hopefully that didn't happen.
