I heard someone drowning several babies by not cutting correctly, that would really suck! I'm not against it but I am patient and would rather wait for the natural process to take place. I have so many animals to take care of I just leave them until every last one comes out, unless you get one of those 2-3 day stragglers. Then I take the rest out. I hate to be woken up when I don't need to get up so maybe I just feel for them LOL
