You haven't answered my question. Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), Canadian Pediatric Society, International Coalition for Genital Integrity (ICGI) amongst other organizations made a degree several decades ago abolishing circumcision amongst humans, threatening to bring to book anyone caught in the act. Yet that didn't stop our mothers from getting us circumcised and that won't deter us from circumcising our kids and grandkids. This is a trend that goes on and on...

Human Penis Circumcision is not as harmful as cutting a dog's tail. Cutting a dog's tail is more akin to cutting off a person's lips for tradition.

Due to the religious diversity of the Nairaland community, it's impossible to come up with policies that will make everyone happy. We can't give everyone what they want, even if we try, because some people want the opposite of what some other people want. We do not seek to favour or help or disfavour or harm any religion; our priority is the Nairaland community as a whole - what's best for Nairalanders as a group. If you have complaints about our policies, or questions about why we're doing this or that, please send your complaints to the supermods via the home page. We'll respond to your complaints as quickly as we can and update this thread with the answers to your frequently asked questions.

Stay tuned, everyone!!

Yep. After I am fully briefed, I will address this issue robustly. Our reasons for taking these steps will become very clear.

OjeriakhiVictor:
Cosmetic surgery? Huh! Me think they look better with their tails..U need to see aw adorable they are when they are just puppies with tails

Yes, all dogs look better with their tails, but breeders dock them anyway because they don't care about the pain and loss of function that results from the amputation and would rather not have to educate misinformed buyers who think puppies whose tails are docked are somehow better.

OjeriakhiVictor:
In Nigeria I heard after cutting the tail off u feed it to d dog and it becomes wild.

That's complete nonsense. Docking a dog's tail leads to no practical benefit whatsoever. It's just a misguided tradition that breeders perpetuate.

I don't know what you're talking about here but I will ask the supermods and politics section mods to brief me so I can respond appropriately.

BOUNTYDOG:
Hmmm.I really don't know how long you have allowed this dog live with this which is very bad and the vets should be....I mean its annoying when it has gone to the extent of affecting the placements of its ear and the vets still tells you all is well! ..Too bad
The dog will definitely have dropping from its affected ear if u check properly,all u need do is 1st aid which is actually the cure for it if u noticed and treated early enough.
Get a piece of white handkerchief,original dettol not its imitation,and water to dilute
Dilute as recommended and soak the handkerchief in the diluted dettol,remove and squeeze to make it damp and use to clean out all the droppings from the ears
You will have to repeat the process like 3ce a week until it stops shaking its ear and places his ears normally.it should stop in 2wks if u ave started early but if it persists get chloramphenicol ear/eye drops and use for the ears as prescribed.
Come thank me later.
Note: Your vet is callous or inexperienced,either cares more bout the money than the sound health of your dog.

Thanks so much. I actually got a second vet who helped us to clean the dog's ears thoroughly with methylated spirit and cotton wool instead of dettol. This alone didn't stop the ear shaking but when I sprayed him all with Fibronyl spray after the ear cleaning, he stopped shaking his head for a while. Since then, whenever he starts shaking his head again, just spraying his head area seemed to stop it. But when I could not spray him for a while, spraying alone stopped working until I cleaned his ears thoroughly with spirit and cotton wool again. He loves it, but the ear shaking keeps coming back so I'll start cleaning his ears regularly with dettol as you suggested; I hope that solves the problem permanently.

You get a hefty thumbs down for this post. All the blame rest squarely on the shoulders of owner. Those dogs should not be in a compound with defenseless children. Even the calmest dogs will attack if a child walks up and startles them. Children should be free to ride their bicycles and run around in a yard without the fear of being eaten by an animal. The parents of the child have no control of how the dogs are trained. The best they can do is tell a child to ask for permission to pet a dog before they try to touch it. human beings sign lease agreements not dogs

I think parents are responsible for the safety of their children. The parents could have asked their children not to play outside. Why didn't they?

What does it mean?

clubone05:
personally I think its too expensive even for a status symbol.

Me too. It's the ugliest status symbol I have ever seen in my life! But it has some very nice features too. The display, camera, weight ...

Samoranopapa:
now end up in harming the kids,No I don't agree with u

More kids have been protected by dogs in Nigeria than those who have been harmed by them. This is the 1st case of harm I've heard about.

Ishilove:
Chewing the head of the child he is supposed to protect is part of the protection?

Obviously things didn't go according to the plan.

Samoranopapa:
But Seun come to think of it why will a man have 3 dogs in a compound where kids also thrives ?

To protect the kids?

Orikinla:
I told her this from the beginning even before one guy registered the domain for www.lindaikeji.com and asked her for N80, 000.
She refused to pay for the acquisition. I said she should register .com.ng and she still refused.

Google deleted my Guaranty Success blog even with custom domain. Then later restored it after long complaint. But I did not need it again.

For a blog making over N36 million annually, she should have secured it on a custom domain and SSL.

You're supposed to be her friend. You should not be yabbing her in public like this. Making her look worse. Why didn't you register it for her?

texanomaly:
Shavy?

I don't want one jor. They are ugly and slippery and bendy and shavy. I don't want. I don't want.

chydy111:
thanks, I started with canned foods (JoJo puppy) then fed raw chicken for a week but he added so much weight that the vet asked me to switch to dry foods so he can grow properly in length and prevent bone diseases, I went to shoprite Ibadan and could only get pedegree for large breed 12month+, so that's what's he's on now with occasionally raw chicken or fish

You could have just reduced the amount you were feeding him instead of switching him to low quality food.

JEITO:
I beg to differ on this, especially considering what is happening in the US, where Atheist are calling for the removal of anything "God" from every of the country's national symbols.

If there were references to Orunmila, Sango and Obatala in the our national anthem, pledge, constitution, etc, wouldn't you want to have them removed? As a Christian, you would not want your children to have to recite an anthem or pledge that refers to gods or Gods that you don't believe in. That's the same way that Atheists in the US feel about having references to God in their national anthems, etc. However, most atheists don't even care about these things. The people who fight these battles are militant atheists. Most atheists are mellow.

As well as from schools and public buildings. Even going as far as getting court orders to remove moulded statures with religious inclination. That doesn't sound like "ignoring" it sounds like trying to change things because you are not comfortable with it-talk of being insecure.

How would you feel if a public school financed by your taxes started building monuments to religions you don't believe in? Would you support the building of Mosques or Orunmila shrines on the premises of the school your child attends, using your money? I don't think so!

What would you say of a teenage high school kid that was suspended for reading his bible during break on charges of public religious practice?

It is wrong to suspend a student just for reading his bible during break. Most atheists would gladly defend this boy's right to read any book that he feels like reading during break. But according to the school authorities, that is not what the boy was actually suspended for. "But a spokeswoman for the Grossmont Union High School District — the district named in the suit — contends there’s much more to the story. She couldn’t elaborate, however, to KGTV because of federal privacy laws." Source. Many atheists love to read the bible.

I know nothing of relative atheism as you put it. If you talk of monotheism or polytheism, I believe that is a different case. Atheism reject it all together.

Let's say that there are 100 religions in the world. As a Christian, you believe in one religion but you don't believe in the other 99. That makes you a believer in one religion and an atheist to the 99 others. You don't believe in Islam? Me too. You don't believe in Zeus? Me too. You don't believe in the Lord of Light? me too! You don't believe in Ifa? Me too! You have more in common with atheists than you realise.

Why rule out a possibility that you haven't proven to be false? I believe God Almighty because I know He exist.

I can direct the question back to you. The existence of Allah, Ifa, Zeus, Sango, and the Lord of Light haven't been proven to be false. Why rule out the possibility that they are real? Why don't you believe in these other Gods too? Why do you think Ifa worshippers are misled?

JEITO:
I have noticed the animosity with which atheists generally, react to anything that has to do with religion. Often making a meal out of it..

While this describes most of the atheists who are active on this section, most atheists are not like that. Most atheists just ignore religious issues.

Does the fact that you don't believe in God for whatever reason, rule out the POSSIBILITY of his existence and Power or influence?

Which God specifically? The Christian God? The Muslim God? African gods and goddesses? The Lord of Light from Game of Thrones? If you believe that there's only one God, then you are an atheist relative to all other Gods/gods and the same questions apply to you too. Does the fact that you don't believe in the Lord of Light or Allah for whatever reason rule out the possibility of their existence and power or influence?

If "no", why then do you refer to/ see religious people as gullible

Just because something is possible doesn't mean it is worth spending time on. It's "possible" that father Xmas is real and lives in the north pole, but if you met an adult who truly believed that Father Xmas is real and sent 10% or his/her income to the north pole, what would you say?

and also fight against the public expression of religion or religious tenets?

Atheists in some countries fight against the imposition of religious practices on people who don't believe in the religions. That's all they fight.

It's very difficult to manage Christians and Muslims on the same forum but we are doing our best to keep everyone reasonably happy.

msMonyei:
Rudeboy is still with me, I'll sell him if I see a serious buyer with cash.

Anyone who would buy a pitbull puppy should not be afraid to buy an adult pitbull. A dog's behaviour is a function of his personality and training, not whether or not you bought him as a puppy. The way he treats msMonyei now is how he'll treat the buyer after weeks of training.

We just got lucky that the disease did not spread to poor people living in slums.
We should spend less time celebrating and more time improving our strategies.
