Tail docking is not cruel if done the right way and from 2-5 days old before the bones harden and nerves fully develop. If you dock it now (as an older puppy) it would be an amputation and much harder on the dog. I would never dock a tail on an older puppy/dog. That in my opinion is cruel but tail docking at the proper age is not. |
I was not aware of the tails being cut, I thought they were all born with those little knobs. You live and learn. Where I live ears and tails are ILLEGAL to be cut. I was at the vet this morning and asked and he said it is illegal to do either, or any kind of cosmetic surgery for that matter.
