Kim - I understand why you posted about this... I THINK - but let's not forget - De-Barking in any form is inhumane - and I really don't think the majority of Dogs are getting actual surgery - I think they're getting the ROD....so trying to say it's humane and easier than getting spayed is giving out the wrong signals here. No offense but I really find it odd that someone would say this is Humane |
I posted the link to the article I was referring to only. Everyone is free to form their own opinion and I certainly respect that since mine is also that it is not right for my dogs, but I also find "convenience spaying and neutering" not appropriate for my dogs either although I may not go so far as to call it inhumane.
Vets perform the surgery legally so it is apparently
not inhumane by veterinary standards. (of course I am only referring here to surgical debarking and not the obvious "inhumane form" of debarking mentioned in this thread).
For example, I consider tail docking to be inhumane and cruel yet it is done everyday by vets and breeders so it is also apparently not inhumane by veterinary standards as they currently exist in our country at least.
Sad but true.
