I'm using it to point out how hilariously hypocritical and ridiculous MoneyGuy is being when he's feigning outrage at my plans.

A New Era for Veterinary Medicine in Alberta
On February 24, 2019, the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association’s membership gathered at our Annual General Meeting to vote on a series of resolutions, including banning Alberta’s veterinarians from performing procedures deemed medically unnecessary by our profession. The ban—of which a strong majority of members voted in favour—include the following procedures:
ear cropping
tail docking
tail nicking
tail blocking
partial digit amputation (declawing or onychectomy)
tendonectomy
front dewclaw removal
cosmetic dentistry
body piercing
tattooing that is not for the purpose of registration and identification
devocalization
The decision to include these particular procedures was based on the best available research informing a growing demand by our profession to act in the best interests of animals and the public.
