I can understand if someone believes that tail docking causes minimal pain and does not interfere with the dog's function, that it's okay to make the alteration just for aesthetics. I don't agree, but I can understand the perspective. |
I appreciate your point of view and value your opposing opinions because of it. You have your stance, yet you actually take the time to consider the opposing one's with an open mind.
I understand what you mean about Thor. I have one who just has a nub. It was not as apparent as a puppy that it had been docked shorter (although I know why it was), but as she grew as an adult, it became more obvious. I don't know the solution to that, but I do understand your concern for it.
