Default tails

I have asked a few vets why they find the need to cut and stitch tails...one was honest and said because then he can call it a surgery..surgery generates more revenue.
I have had a few just out of school vets ask me toshow them the clamp method...and a few vet techs who bred docked breeds...they were amazed a procedure so simple was made so complex for no reason.

When I cut and stitched, I had a few infections..nothing serious, but they needed cleaning daily and meds...never a problem with a clamp. In fact I like the way the hair grows off the end of the clamped tail...it is a natural look I perfer..not saying cut and stitching can ruin the tails fall, but I have had a few with "cow licks" on the end that made the hair go funny...
