I think it would take an act of evolution, of maybe 20,000 years, before a normal part of the body became extinct due to lack of use. Has something to do with DNA.

debarking
it's called Debarking. It's a dangerous procedure, and a stupid one as well in my opinion. It is done quite often to dogs like Beagles, even done here in America. Beagles bark and howl, it's a bred trait that was used to hunt game. Anyone who wants to own a beagle should realize this before they get one, surgically altering an animal to fit your needs is ridiculous.
Jetjok, that must have been pretty sad seeing all those dogs like that.

In 1986 I flew a Falcon 600 miles off of Cape Cod, Ma. to deliver a replacement lens for the submersible of the Research Vessel Knorr out of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. I was the copilot but for some reason the A/C let me do the drop, I don't think he knew it would be my first real operational drop. From what I understand the lens was quite expensive and the only replacement they had, so I was quite proud of myself when I managed to hit the boat.
Our whole crew got a very nice letter of thanks from the skipper of the Knorr and the director of WHOI.
Not too strange, but a little unusual.
