I can guarantee you that those puppies feel pain. My stepdad's dog had a litter of puppies. He went to get their tails docked because the vet said that the puppies couldn't feel it. Well, as he sat in the waiting room, he heard the most horrendous screams coming from those poor, day old puppies.
My opinion on the situation is that it doesn't need to be done. I guess that if you want to show your dog, then you should probably do it, but otherwise, I don't see the point. My Yorkies came with tails docked, but if it was my choice, they would have long, beautiful, wagging tails. I do have to admit that their little stubs are kind of cute, but I wish that they didn't have to go through that horrible pain! |
