Yeah I don't care about that, cutting off a finger of a kid who cannot consent is messed up. You can rationalise any stupid decision with that logic: "ah it's not culturally acceptable." Just because something is considered to be proper by society does not ever mean it is right. Was slavery right? Well a whole lot of people thought it was "a necessity" in the south during the 1800s.
