I once had a friend that had a defanged tarantula. It was an asshole. He had several spiders, actually, and they were all not very friendly creatures.
Some things should not be pets
Rule of thumb in my opinion, if you have to perform body modification on an animal, it doesn't sound like it was ever worth keeping. Clipping bird wings, deforming monkey thumbs, declawing cats, etc. make me cringe bad.
Why the fuck would anyone declaw a cat??? Or the thing with a monkey?
But I don't entirely agree with you - with some pets you need to cut their balls.
Wtf … wy would you defang tarantulas ⁉️⁉️⁉️
Yeah rip my fangs out id be an asshole as well
Because they’re venomous.
The thing still bit him from time to time, though. But without the poison.
