Rejected petition Make it illegal to pierce babies ears.

I wish it to be made illegal to pierce a babies ears and all non professional establishments like (Claires) causing blunt force trauma to sieze the act of piercing immediately

More details

The body modification industry is utterly appauled that the act of piercing a babies ears is still, in 2021 a legal thing to do. Not only that but it is being carried out by non professionals (Claires) using equipment that causes blunt force trauma to the baby causing extreme pain and discomfort. The baby has no say and piercing the ears of the baby is a vanity act for the parent and serves no medical purpose.
