The 'whimpering only for a few seconds' is helpful, bc I have given a shot/vax to a dog before (twice) and OMG, it scares the crap out of me. I thought it would be no biggie, I was wrong. It was just a subQ shot both times, and it's a real eye opener, in terms of their response. They were not happy.
So, if a pup's response to tail-docking is indeed similar to a vaccination response, that at least gives me something I can personally compare it to, as I've seen this/performed this (injection) in person.
I apologize if this issue doesn't seem important, it's never my intention to make a mountain out a mole hill. It does feel important though, I guess? And I don't mean to imply that LS isn't just as important or perhaps more important, I just also think that this is a important too .
I so appreciate your opinion. |
I understood completely what you were saying and was only attempting to answer your questions from my point of view and somewhat put some perspective into the conversation.
I hate docking tails, giving injections, etc. I hate whelping a litter, now that's pain that I can relate too and I cry when my girls are in labor.
But, on the statement of agreeing to diagree....I only meant that this subject can be debated over and over again and the outcome is still the same.
