I guess in a way, it does seem kind of mean to put a small pup through something painful just to have a desired look (?), but then again, isn't breeding in general doing the same thing? You put a female through the pain (and possible health complications) to get a dog that looks like you want it to look? What is the difference?
On a similar note, IMO, I always thought is was mean to take a small baby and have their ears pierced. I actually got into heated arguments with some of my nosier family members because I did not choose to do so with my own child. |
