Co-sign.

We've been looking into buying a dog, but so many have their ears or tails docked. :Sigh:

I won't buy a mutilated puppy, no matter how cute its face is. I wouldn't want any of my money going towards a breeder or vet that thought snipping off body parts was an esthetic improvement.

When I was younger my boss tried to get some shoe samples from a client who would not give them,

so my boss said I should bounce up and down on the clients lap

I was like WTF???

and he said.. Just do it..

I did it, needless to say, I got the shoe samples and a raise

Well teh client got a raise, but I got a good salary raise too..

Yes and I quit about a month later. I did not do what was asked and I was on the outs anyway. That was 14 years ago. I don't play that illegal shit.....

If unethical means bailing guys out of jail after interviewing them for the Public Defender and then dating them until they get arrested again.....then yes.

Ooops hold up. I wasn't asked to do that.....I volunteered.

I'm a bookkeeper and we have access to all the clients credit cards accounts and bank accounts, mothers maiden name, social security numbers etc. My boss makes me call credit card companies and impersonate the client to get late fees waived or whatever. It's not really unethical, but having to bold-faced lie over the phone makes me uncomfortable and I'd rather not do it. It's a small thing but it goes against my spiritual practice of matching thought/word/deed...

Also, my boss sometimes has me call people and impersonate her. I hate doing this as well. Luckily it's not often.

I typed several contracts (using a unique software) for a man in another department. This work had nothing to do with my 'job' and I am not this man's assistant, but I had the software on my computer and he asked nicely. To thank me, I received a check for $100 from his branch of the company. I thought that was nice (and legit). Later, he said he'd take me to lunch to thank me. I went, but asked one of his female co-workers to ride come with (as I'd heard this dude had fancied me). Well, half-way through lunch, he says to me, "Have you ever cheated on your husband?" I said, "No," to which he replied, "But would you?"

Technically this didn't happen at work, but it was creepy nonetheless.

You know, at least there is a reason to do declawing. If I got a cat today, no way in HELL would I declaw it. It's a brutal procedure, and there are alternatives (like trimming, claw caps, and training). But at least there is a PURPOSE, and it is done under general anesthesia (though rarely with decent postop pain control).

Tail docking. . . ear cropping. . . they should totally be illegal. Breeders who sell docked/cropped dogs should be ashamed of themselves.

Personally, I think breeding itself is unethical.

But, nobody asked me.

Yes. Work.

as long as millions of animals die, there is absolutely no reason to breed...

Every lawyer knows (or should know) that dipping into the trust account is a serious no-no. It's pretty much asking to get disbarred.

I haven't done any research on this, but I suspect that in many cases, there's some underlying problem, such as a drug or gambling addiction, that is seriously affecting the lawyer's judgment. I mean, I borrowed over $65,000 to get my J.D. degree, which took three years of full-time study, and then had to pass the bar exam. (Actually, I had to do the last one twice, as I'm admitted in two states.) Putting aside my morals--i.e., I just don't steal--after making that kind of investment, why would I risk losing my law license(s) just to get some money? How would I make a living for the next 40 or so years if I couldn't practice law?

Yes

During my school nativity play rehearsals, circa the mid-fucking-80s, I was asked to be one of the three wise men.

I told my teacher, "NO MISS! Can't I be the shop-keeper on the corner of the street where the Inn is so I can sell the other wise men presents for baby Jesus?"

Teacher said, "No. You're going to be one of the wise men".

On reflection, I think I was asked to do a very unethnic role at 'work' indeed

My whole job was unethical, wasting good tax-payers money to make their council's business plans look pretty - hours of work at $80 per hour. I quit that job after 10 months it bugged me to hell.

go to a shelter and buy a street mutt. street mutts are the best.

Nope. whenever I'm asked I tell them it's their problem, and they should deal with it.

Yea, work..hehe
