I know this is a controversal topic but i hope we can keep it civil..

I remember a thread a while back about yorkie ear piercing, everyone on here was disgusted by it...one poster said that she was sure that 'if her yorkie could talk she would say she would prefer not to have her ears pierced'...wouldn't a yorkie if it could talk say that it would prefer to keep its tail it was born with?
I have seen more than one video where the puppies are obviously squealing in pain when it is done...I have also seen evidence of puppies dying from botched tail dockings..

very sad.
