Why? Puritans. I'm sorry, "Pilgrims." Heretics, most of America was founded by people a little too weird for the Lutherans, and Church of England. (Also, a lot of slavery, and mass genocides we don't talk about around the Thanksgiving table.) So, they came here, and brought a lot of their weird religious ideals with them. Circumcision was routine, for over a century. Doctors just did it, for no medical reason, then mumbled something about "Urinary tract infections" when the parents asked questions. Not vets, who routinely spay, and neuter animals for population control. Deal with UTIs all the time, and yet didn't even have procedures for circumcising cats, and dogs. The real reason is because puritans think that a boy is less likely to play with it if they cut the foreskin off. That, and because Americans trust their doctors, apparently even with the genitals of their newborn sons.
