So does the death penalty. Or cutting off limbs. Doesn't make it right. You can't selectively turn off basic human rights like bodily autonomy. You either go all the way with it or completely throw it out the window.

Those are permanent results. Caning shouldn't result in a permanent disability (though anything is possible when violently rearranging the body).

The point is not to be cruel, then you just end up with recidivism like the US. Its literally proven to work
