I would not remove the canine teeth unless they are diseased.
I would look at potential causes of stress in the cat’s living arrangements and attempt to treat them before removing healthy teeth for an owner’s convenience.
If the cat it biting because of a behavioral issue, and you then remove the teeth, you have done literally nothing to address the cause of the issue. If the cat was stressed, anxious or in pain it will still be stressed, anxious or in pain.
I would approach the situation by performing a physical exam, and if that’s normal proceeding with environmental enrichment, pheromone therapy tryptophan supplements or even anxiolytic medication.
I’m going to assume that your coworker had the cat declawed because he was scratching her, and as the underlying cause was not addressed he now bites instead.
If she does not want to investigate and treat the underlying cause, which can be confronting because you may realise you haven’t done the best you could by your pet, rehoming is an option. The cat is likely to have needs that she isn’t meeting.
I would not remove the canine teeth from this cat. It doesn’t solve any medical or husbandry issues, it doesn’t consider the cat’s mental wellbeing and it’s against the interests of the cat. I would be livid if I found out a colleague of mine went ahead and did this.
My cat was getting progressively more mouthy with me, until I got her a big stuffed toy that I encouraged her to bite and fight with. When she’d bite me, I’d scold/ pull away and instead present the toy, and praise her when she beats that up instead of me. It’s working very well, she doesn’t come to me with the intention of beating me up anymore. She just wanted an outlet for her destructive urges, and since she doesn’t have a sibling to beat up, she was turning to me.
When you say “no don’t do that here” you should be providing a place that is the flip side; “Do that here instead”.
So you are saying 0% of the world should be billionaires?
Yes.
Why shouldn’t their be billionaires? That makes no sense.
Because the existence of billionaires is predicated on the exploitation of human labor and unsustainable environmental harm. That level of wealth hoarding is harmful to economies, as it reduces the amount of money in circulation. No one person, no family, could ever conceivably even SPEND a billion dollars anyway, and it is inherently immoral to accumulate wealth so narrowly while so much of the world lives in abject poverty.
Better then to create a wealth ceiling, a point at which all wealth over a certain point is taxed at or very near 100% to incentivize people to actually spend their money rather than hoard it, stimulating the economy and bettering the lives of far more people. Better even still to create and regulate economic systems that protect workers and the environment in a way that such extreme levels of wealth accumulation aren’t even feasible.
The problem with this is that it reduces the incentive to actually do fiscally well. What’s the point of starting a business if you can’t become wealthy?
There is a very real difference between “reasonably wealthy” and A BILLIONAIRE
No one is saying you shouldn’t have a nice house, we are saying that having multiple really, really ridiculously nice houses while your employees are either homeless or at serious risk of becoming homeless is immoral.
I’ll never understand why this concept is hard for people. I think it’s because they can’t actually fathom how much $1 Billion is.
Seriously.
Let’s say you have a badass job. A great job. You make $100 AN HOUR. You work 10 hours a day ($1000 A DAY), 5 days a week ($5000 a week!!!), every week ($20,000 A MONTH), thats $240,000 Every Year.
It would take you 4,167 years to make a billion dollars.
God dammit
If you were making, for the sake of argument, $25 million a year, you could live a life of extreme luxury. Even then, it would take you forty years of spending none of that money to amass a single billion. There are multi-billionaires out there. No one needs that kind of money.
Currency came into existence to simplify trade. It was meant to make things easier and better for society. When a single person has more than they need, even more than they would need for an extravagant lifestyle, they’d completely unreasonable. Money isn’t meant to be hoarded for status. I honestly think billionaires are addicted to money.
Not to be That Bitch™ but I know that everyone’s looking into Into the Spider-verse cosplays and I want y’all to remember that wearing pointe shoes when you haven’t been trained to stand on pointe can end in serious injuries. Not even all pro ballerinas ever get to stand on pointes so PLEASE don’t get pointe shoes for cosplay;;
