 Time for change
I agree, it is time for all Yorkie Lovers--all dog lovers, to take a stand and join our neighbors in Europe and the UK. No more docking of tails and dew claws. No more cutting ears on other breeds.
Two weeks ago we took three precious Yorkie puppies in to have this procedure done and the poor babies cried all the way home (a 40 minute drive). Our vet agrees this is a barbaric practice motivated by market. I've been pondering just why we need to amputate the thumbs and tails of perfectly healthy dogs? Why wack their waggers?
It is truly barbaric, totally unnecessary.
Two days later, my tiny toy poodle whelped 3 beautiful babies. They still have their dew claws and tails. I am ready to take a stand. If the majority of dog lovers will stand up and speak out for our friends, challenging AKC to follow Europe and the UK's more humane rules, we can make a difference.
YorkieTalk members...TALK. To any representatives in this industry, to all pet owners and animal lovers. Let's change the rules to benefit our precious pets. |
