Why would the parents want to in-flict pain up on their child when it isn't necessary?

The pain would be short. A matter of a second or more.
Regarding whether piercing is necessary. Well it is never necessary to pierce a baby or even yourself, it is a matter of choice. The argument I see here is that a baby is not given the choice, well a baby is too young to have that privilege. That is upto the parent and if the parent/s choose to have their baby pierced, then you must accept that, as it is legal. Even if it may not seem moral to do so. That is subject to criticism.

+ yes the pain of the piercing may only be a ''second or more'' but for the few days after the piercing, every time you lay on it, that hurts plus everytime you have to twist the back to ensure it doesn't go scabby or whatever that isn't very comfortable either, speaking from experience here.
at the end of the day; if i ever have children i will probably wait until they are at the age (10?) where they can decide whether to have a piercing or not.
also im not saying that parents who choose to pierce their babys ears are bad parents or whatever, yes it's legal do what you like it's just not something i would do..
