Marianna:
I wanted to say hello and welcome. I enjoyed reading your posts. It is always fun to get the perspective from another country. I understand the controversy over docking tails, especially if it is done later in life when it is painful, and I understand the history of it, to prevent potential tail injury later with "working dogs".
There is a movement in this country to stop the practice. In fact, I believe it is Los Angeles or Beverly Hills or somewhere like that is trying to pass a law "banning all cosmetic surgery" on animals. At first, I thought it was funny because I was picturing people taking their animals in for face lifts or something, but now I understand what they are saying. They want to stop any surgery alteration done for purely aesthetic reasons.
I hope you become a frequest visitor to the site. We welcome your input! |
