Why is safety only of concern when it's about protecting the standard?
I don't know much about the Canadian K9 Alliance, but it appears their sole purpose is to oppose tail docking, ear cropping, and dew claw removal. I'd be interested to know who funds them. I am highly suspicious of ANY organization that tries to defend ear cropping, as I think the cons of that procedure are much more clear cut than they are for docking. |
We'll agree there! I think they probably should increase the standard weight limit, but thats another thread for another day
.
I think the solution is not to outlaw cropping all together but try to improve the standards in which it is done. For example, some countries have banned the practice except by a licensed veterinarian.
