However, the information you presented is also true. But as we all know, backyard breeders and puppy millers won't spend one red cent on their dogs to have them debarked in a humane fashion. They do it the fast and cheap way. They don't care if the dogs vocal cords are severely damaged in the process. All they care about is breeding and breeding and breeding and breeding and breeding ... did I mention breeding? I did not state a "misconception" of any sort. I merely stated a popular means of debarking by puppy millers and backyard breeders.
I am very well aware of the surgical procedure involving debarking. There are some pet owners who choose to have their dogs surgically debarked. I personally do not agree with this, but as least the surgical method of debarking is done it a clean and safe environment by a vet. |
Exactly, I've read of mill dogs that didn't survive debarking. Mill owners are not going to spend money on surgery. It's horrible to even think about.
