BamaFan,
of course the goal of the procedure must be taken into account. What we are saying is, it is senseless to go through the pain of docking because of an cosmetic ideal. It is worth going through a surgical spay/neuter in order to extend life, give better quality of life, and prevent unwanted puppies that would contribute to dog overpopulation.
The benefits of spay/neuter are HUGE. I have found no evidence of benefits for tail docking.
This is apples and oranges all over the place......
