Yes, I also, like you, Wolf, would like to hear from more people. Do you, guys, agree or disagree? What are your thoughts on the arguments given? Thing is, I don't think that any other member other than Seagoatdeb actually clips (this is, after all, very much so a pro-flight site) and that might be the reason why she ended up been the only one on that side of the debate which is unfortunate because, inevitably, she'll feel that the arguments are against her, personally, when they are not. They are against the practice.
Your comment, Wolf, that we should not make the non-clippers feel like our enemies struck a chord in me and I was thinking that this is the reason why most sites do not even allow the debate to take place when, after all, it's an integral part of husbandry as much as diet, housing, etc. And I think it's because, inevitably, the arguments the clipping side gives will bring rebuttals from the non-clipping that would make the clippers feel the non-clippers think they are inadequate. But, even though I thought and thought and thought about it, I couldn't find a way to word them so as not to make it this way. I wish I could have found it though...
As to the human/bird relationship been the most important thing, Seagoatdeb, I agree with you 100% only I don't separate clipping from it, I make it a part of it.
