Oh I should add I do agree with you that cosmetically altering another living being for convinence or aesthetic reasons is crazy (be it circumcision of boys, tail docking of dogs or museling of sheep). I don't intend of breeding anytime soon, if ever, so to be honest, it isn't something I have thougth about in a "what would I do in this situation".
What I don't get is why you'd question the person who claims to have done research (and automatically think that they are wrong), but won't bat an eyelid at someone who says it's "cultural".
