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: http://anniehughes.com/roar.htm 
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." | 
 
  Wow thanx for those links,,,that is HORRIBLE, I cant believe things like that happen,, but I can believe alot of stuff ignorant, greedy people do!  Thanks for your research.
