Yes I agree and I do dock (my vet physically does it). I do hope it becomes outlawed. I just wondering is someone or a group was working on it. My vet cuts the tail, cauterizes it and puts a stitch in it. I watched once. ONLY once! The puppies did squeal whether that be from pain or fear I am sure a plethora if comments would side with one or the other or both. If your not a puppy yourself how would you know. I have seen some of mine act like nothing ever happened then the others squeal very loud.
I must say though even if someone could say there is no pain...just the stress alone to mom and pups should make it outlawed
