I watched my vet, she rubbed a bit of gel-like novaciane on the tail, waiting a few minutes, sniped it, put quick stop on, and handed them back to me. Never a whimper from them. So apparently, she did something right. If your experiences and the videos you've watched show you something different, well, don't really know what to tell you. Just offering my experience, which I believe I am entitled to do. I never claimed you were 'making it up,' although I do think it's blown out of proportion by some at times. All I can do is share my experience, which I believe I am entitled to do. Sorry if it's a disappointment that not every experience with docking is as 'traumatic' as the next.



So, have you ever cut your thumb off in order to be able to make that comparison, or is it just a theory? Just curious...

My dad's friend cut off his thumb while chopping up wood. He said it was VERY painful and he's a tough dude. He was screaming & crying. It didn't bleed a ton though surprisingly.
