I am well aware of what they do on farms. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin that was part of a mulit-farm co-op. Granted, it was dairy and not a ranch - but, branding still happened.
Just the point is the cute factor...
How can you say piercings are abuse on said kitteh - but it's not abuse on a calf? Oh, because the calf has it done for commercial reasons. So, it doesn't abuse the calf.
