Please Note: I am
NOT referring to the surgical method of debarking
Check out these links which mention the cruel method of debarking (ramming a rod down a dogs throat):
1. Check out the last 3 sentences in the first paragraph: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/...r_id=498565236 2. Scroll allllllll the way to the bottom and check out the poor little doggy named Wyatt Earp -- he was debarked by some rotten puppy miller: http://hillbillypets.com/Login/index...mand=viewshame
3. Look below all of the pictures of the puppy mill rescue dogs at the very first paragraph:

This one was so sad that I had to copy and paste the text. Here is what #3 says:
"THIS is what the PARENTS of those cute puppies in PET STORES look like.
They have been severely abused: neglected, starved, beaten, mauled by other dogs, blinded and, most horrendously, DE-BARKED (achieved by a metal rod down the throat driven with a HAMMER, rupturing the vocal chords, breaking the jaw and teeth, causing the dog's tongue to hang limply from its mouth). CAN YOU LIVE WITH THAT? How can anyone? PLEASE - boycott pet stores that sell live animals."
