I certainly wouldn't pierce my dogs' ears but I cannot judge someone who does. I mean I am outraged at tail docking and ear clipping but it is actually "required" by the club show rules! That is what is outrageous and should be considered animal cruelty in my opinion. Ear piercing is probably no more painful than getting their vaccines. It is just not that big of a deal to me, but maybe I am wrong. I mean if these dogs are our babies and we routinely have our babies' ears pierced, then why not the dogs too. It just does not offend me.
Some of us here dress our dogs and a lot of people would think that is ridiculous and not letting them "just be dogs" but I wouldn't want to hear them "judging us" like we are doing in this thread. JMHO. |
