What's next? Can you get into trouble for docking your dog's tail?
The Pennsylvanian woman said she didn't see the difference between piercing a cat or human, and would plead not guilty, the Associated Press reported.
"When I did it, it wasn't with any cruel intentions," Ms Crawford said.
"They were definitely loved, well-fed, no fleas, clipped nails. And they were happy."
Ms Crawford said she used sterile needles and regularly checked the kittens to make sure they were healing properly.

Here's hoping. Mutilating an animal for the sake of making it look more aesthetically pleasing is wrong.
glassmusic-
you're an idiot.
piercing is cruel, but removing the animal's reproductive organs, clipping off the end of it's fingers (declawing), branding, etc. is all ok?
social ostercization is the proper method of expressing that this is wrong, not using the brutal force of the State
so, when people pierce themselves they are mutilating themselves?
and don't try and come back with "well they are doing it to themselves" because that brings us back to the first paragraph.
