I have to say, this is an issue I have never really thought a lot about. I actually don't know what to say other than I do like Oreo's. haha
I have been reading pages of information about tail docking. I found everything from when done correctly, sleeping puppies will not wake up to this is the cruel practice of cutting off an animal's body part.
One site even gave a description comparing banding a tail to clamping an umbilical cord.
I have come to the conclusion I am not convinced that when done correctly, and not with kitchen scissors, it is painful to the puppy.
There certainly are 'bigger fish to fry' but this also an issue I think is worth discussing. I have no personal preference. When searching for Maddie, I didn't even ask about her tail. IF she had a tail, it would just be more to love I guess. |
